Taylor Swift doesn't need a boyfriend

The 20-year-old country singer - who has dated 'Twilight' star Taylor Lautner and was famously dumped by Joe Jonas over the phone ' loves being single and doesn't worry about finding a guy.

Speaking in an interview in the new edition of People magazine out this Friday (22.10.10), she said: 'Being single is wonderful and I love it. I don't ever have a morning where I wake up and say, 'I really need to find a boyfriend today.' '

However, Taylor ' who admits she has experienced her fair share of heartbreak ' also revealed she deals with the emotions which surround a failed relationship in her music.

She explained: "I will say everything in my music. There's been extreme joy, extreme pain, extreme curveballs. Sometimes when things impact you so intensely, it takes writing a song to get over them."

There has been some speculation that the song 'Dear John' on Taylor's new album 'Speak Now' refers to womanising singer John Mayer.

The pair worked on a track together last year and were rumoured to be secretly dating.

In the song, Taylor sings: "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love and take it away."

However, Taylor refuses to confirm that the song is directed at 33-year-old John, only saying: "A lot of times when people's relationships end, they write an email to that person and say everything that they wish they would have said. A lot of times they don't push send . This was a tough one to write, and I guess putting it on the album was pushing send."
