'I Knew You Were Trouble' beauty Taylor Swift has revealed that growing up has taught her a lot about the types of love she has experienced and she can finally tell what is the real deal and what isn't worth her time.

Speaking to the Rolling Stone about matters of the heart in relation to her career as a performing and recording artist, Swift explained:

"I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about. Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. That's the only way I can find an explanation for why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing."

The superstar also explained that her extensive 'Red' tour of North America has allowed her to enjoy some great downtime in Rhode Island, where she owns a beachfront mansion (pictured below): "There have been a lot of kitchen dance parties with my girlfriends!"
