This is the cover of Elle magazine featuring Taylor Swift for the March 2013 issue.

Showbiz Spy reports: In a new interview with Elle magazine, the singer, 22, tries to dispel the misconceptions about her high-profile relationships — and breakups — with the likes of Harry Styles, Conor Kennedy, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and others.

“I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me,” she said.

“They’re like ‘Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys,’” she says, quickly clarifying: “I never chase boys. They don’t like it!’

“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.

“To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have. It’s me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better…It’s just something I do to feel better.”
