Taylor Swift on love: 'This idea of happily ever after isn't realistic'

Songstress Taylor Swift has revealed that her album '1989' was influenced by love and her perceptions and personal experiences of it.

During a brand new interview with ELLE magazine, the 'Out Of The Woods' sensation explained that the entire record was inspired by love and what she hopes and dreams it would be like to completely fall for someone:

"So these were all projections of what I thought they might be like. They were based on movies and books and songs and literature that tell us that a relationship is the most magical thing that can ever happen to you. And then once I fell in love, or thought I was in love, and then experienced disappointment or it just not working out a few times, I realized there’s this idea of happily ever after which in real life doesn’t happen. There’s no riding off into the sunset, because the camera always keeps rolling in real life."

"It’s magical if you ask anyone who has ever fallen in love — it’s the greatest. Now I have more of a grasp on the fact that when you’re in a state of infatuation and you think everything that person does is perfect, it then — if you’re lucky— morphs into a real relationship when you see that that person is not in fact perfect, but you still want to see them every day."
