Taylor Swift on love: 'It's a complete mystery to me'

Superstar Taylor Swift has admitted that while her new album is predominantly about love, she finds it to be a challenging topic to write about because of the differing emotions it encourages.

Speaking to the Rolling Stone about her upcoming record, titled 'Red' and due for release on October 22, Swift explained that her own experiences of romance and matters of the heart are full of ups and downs:

"I went through a few roller coasters. Trying to chronicle each step of the way was challenging, because you go to some really dark places with the lyrics. Then in the next track, you're talking about how amazing it is to meet somebody new."

The country-pop sweetheart added that while she's had some high-profile flings, and has been linked to the likes of John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal, she feels as though "love is a complete mystery":

"I know general things about love. How to treat people well, what you deserve and when to walk away. Other than that, love is a complete mystery - and that's why I like to write about it." Check out the lead single from Swift's new album, 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together', below:
