'Begin Again' beauty Taylor Swift has admitted that despite constantly writing songs about love she doesn't know how to maintain a relationship successfully.

In an interview with Katie Couric, which was filmed earlier this week before it was announced that she had split from boyfriend Conor Kennedy, Swift explained that she can't seem to have a "normal" romance with anyone but it's not for a lack of trying:

"I don't know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal, love from a normal place and live a normal life. But there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lenses, on everything that happens between me and anybody else."

Swift added: "I don't really know that much about love, it turns out." Watch her newly released music video for 'Begin Again' below:
