Country-pop sensation Taylor Swift has opened up about her dating life to put to bed rumours that suggest she 'chases' men.

The beauty recently split from One Direction's Harry Styles and referring to the reports that portray her as the pursuer in relationships, she explained that she has never been like that as it's not something she's comfortable with:

"I'm sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumour it would say I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him - people love that angle on me. They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.' I never chase boys. They don't like it!"

She added to Elle magazine that once a love affair is over she won't try to patch things up and instead will just walk away: "I don't think I've ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever. I'm not a yeller. I'm not a fit thrower. If something is done, it's done."

Swift confessed that songwriting is the most cathartic thing to do following a break up and she will continue to express her heartbreak through music as long as her career lasts: "It's me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn't understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that's their right, but it's all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It's just something I do to feel better."
