Taylor Swift Says It’s OK to Watch

Taylor Swift can't seem to escape the headlines these days. Between her four Grammy awards, her Grammy performance with Stevie Nicks and her upcoming role in the film, Valentine's Day, almost everything about her life is up for scrutiny, including her romantic life.

And Taylor says she doesn't mind at all. "I'm never gonna have that moment when I lash out and scream and yell about the fact that people are watching me, because I asked for this life and this career," she tells Australia's Herald Sun.

Taylor even says she was fine with people talking about her rumored relationship with 'Valentine's Day' co-star, Taylor Lautner. "I never want to turn into that person who says to whoever I may be seeing or thinking about going on a date with: 'Let's not go to dinner in public tonight because that might get written about.' I don't want to let the fact that people are watching me change the course of my actions in relationships."

Even though she didn't find love with her teenage co-star, she says she is still open to romance down the road, in spite of her crazy schedule. "There's always time!," she insists. "I'll make time for someone if I'm intrigued by them or I want to get to know them. I'm a hopeless romantic. I love the thought that love can happen in an instant and maintain itself and be a success story instead of a failure. I will find time for love if love is worth finding time for."

One celebrity couple Taylor admires is Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. "Keith and Nicole have been wonderful to me," she gushes. "When I was touring with Keith, he would knock on my bus door, come and say hi and see how I was doing, or think of a song for us to play together that night. Both of them have this natural friendliness and a natural kindness that I really love, and Nicole is one of the most beautiful people, inside and out ... They are shining lights in my life."

Taylor is currently in Keith and Nicole's homeland of Australia, as part of her Fearless tour. She will continue the U.S. leg of her tour in Tampa, Fla., on March 4, with opening acts Kellie Pickler and Gloriana.
