Singer Taylor Swift is on Harper's Bazaar magazine's December/January cover, which hits stands Tuesday. In the cover story, the 22-year-old discusses relationships, dating, her career and other parts of her life.
Says Swift on wearing dresses: "I'm in a predicament where I can't wear a dress twice or else it's pointed out in magazines," she says. "So unfortunately I have to shop for dresses all the time.
"There's just something so feminine about a dress," she says. "Whether it's a summertime dress that makes me feel carefree, an evening cocktail dress that makes me feel fancy or a vintage dress that makes me feel like a '50s housewife - which I enjoy feeling like, for some reason - I just really like dresses."
On relationships as a source of inspiration for her music: "Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.
"Despite all of that and how unpleasant it is, as a writer you get a lot from it. It's a crazy justification system. You know that guy you really wish you could erase from your memory? But then the answer is track six, eight, 12 and 13."
Swift released her fourth studio album, "Red," late last month and is already receiving acclaim from music critics.
