Country-pop songstress Taylor Swift has confessed that when she's single and sees other people who are happy and in love, it's very easy to feel jealous. 

During a new interview with InStyle magazine, the beauty explained that she's content with being single, but is easily reminded of how happy being in a good relationship can make you feel: "I feel jealousy, but I've been trying to channel it into mutual admiration and inspiration."

"If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it's cool that happens. Now I have proof it can happen. Maybe that's out there for me someday."

She also opened up about her early preconceptions of romance, adding that the reality of falling in love is nothing like she ever imagined: "[My thoughts of love] came from a daydreamy prince-and-princess place. But when I actually experienced it, I realized it wasn't those things. It can be, but not always."

In the same interview, Swift admitted that tour buddy and close friend Ed Sheeran has been great at giving her advice where her love life is concerned: 

"I think that you can love people without it being the great love. Ed [Sheeran] said something that really resonated with me. He says there are different kinds of love. There’s physical attraction, mental attraction, and emotional attraction - there’s also comfort and obsession." Watch footage of Swift opening a school in Nashville below:
