As well as being one of the music industry's most successful young stars, Taylor Swift is also known as a serial dater after having brief romances with several high-profile stars, but the 24 year-old singer is all about loving herself at the moment.

Swift is very content with remaining single

Swift recently opened up to the indie fashion magazine Wonderland, about wanting to stay single, and how she has learned to deal with bullying from internet trolls.

"I've been with myself for so long now, I like it," she told the mag. "I'm not willing to give up that independence for anyone."

Swift has dated the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and Harry Styles, and often used these experiences as inspiration for her songs, but as she has matured, the Grammy-winner realizes being single isn't that bad.

"Basically, there's the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest chance you might find someone you can have a real and long-lasting relationship with," she said. "In my teenage years, I was enamored by the idea of romance because I thought it was going to be this 'happily ever after' situation."

Although Swift is happily single and hugely successful, haters who mainly attack her on Twitter seem determined to bring her down.

"Twitter's dark underbelly is that it gives people a veil of anonymity: they can have a terrible day at work, feel awful about themselves, come home and get drunk and go call someone ugly on Instagram," she shared. "If people don't have anyone to talk to about [their problems], they go online and just say wicked, gross, cruel mean-spirited things about people. I wrote 'Shake It Off' for my own situation, but also for the situation that everyone finds themselves in now. It's not a celebrity issue, it's a people issue."
