Taylor Swift is the eternal optimist when it comes to finding love and hopes her tendency to write happy endings into her music isn't just "wishful thinking". 

The young singer-songwriter explained to InStyle magazine that she is ready to fully commit to a relationship and is excited to fall in love:

"There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you're going to fall in love with. You never know who's going to come into your life - and, for me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them."

Swift, who recently released her latest music video for 'Mean', confessed to being a positive spirit where matters of the heart are concerned and added:

"I'm really a daydreamer and a hopeful person. When it comes to 'happily ever after', I always have a tendency to write a happy ending to my songs. That's probably wishful thinking on my part."
