Taylor Swift has admitted that she doesn’t understand love yet.

The singer explained that she writes love songs because she is trying to “figure it out”, Showbiz Spy reports.

“I think the reason I write about love so much is because I have no idea what is going on with love,” she said. “It’s unpredictable and I haven’t figured it out yet.

“Every love story is different and I like to approach every person I meet like they’re a separate book, rather than a chapter in a whole book. I don’t have one general theory for how to date a person.”

However, Swift admitted that her shyness often prevents her from developing relationships.

“I would probably run in the opposite direction if I saw someone I had a crush on… and then write a song about it!” she joked. “Shows why I haven’t had successful relationships.”

Swift recently said that being single is in her “comfort zone”.
