Country songstress Taylor Swift fears she will end up "being awful and intolerable lying in a marble bathtub" with just a glass of wine for company.

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker is currently enjoying international success with her acclaimed album 'Red', but knows that fame is fleeting.

Swift worries about not having anyone who cares around her at the end of it all.

Speaking to British magazine InStyle the star revealed: “My fears circle around me making the wrong choices and messing this up for myself. I don’t want to end up being awful and intolerable. Alone. Laying in a marble bathtub by myself, like sad, with a glass of wine just complaining that my life ended up alone because I pushed everyone away because I was too good to hang out with anybody.

She added: “The typical Hollywood sad cliché of the poor lonely starlet with no one because she put up all these walls and didn’t trust anyone. That’s my fear. And that’s why I live my life the way I live my life because I’d so much rather feel everything than end up like that.”

Swift has been linked to a string of stars including John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Jonas.

The blonde beauty admits it's difficult to have male friends without speculation surrounding her love life.

She explained: “I’m a girls’ girl. I have guy friends, but the problem with having guy friends is, like, I always get linked to them and they’ll end up in a slideshow of people I’ve apparently dated on the internet. I mean, there’s all kinds of complicated things with having guys as friends. If they have a girlfriend who doesn’t like you or things like that. So I have like two or three guy friends. A select few. But I have like 20-25 really good girlfriends.”
