Taylor Swift candidly reveals she has made a decision about one life-changing event and that she hasn't made up her mind about another. The 24-year-old superstar says she is too young to get married and she also confesses that she has not made up her mind about having children  

"I don't know if I'll have kids," she tells InStyle. "It's impossible not to picture certain scenarios and how you would try to convince them that they have a normal life when, inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies."

And Swift admits that it's not just kids who are not on her radar in the immediate future - marriage, she assures, is also on a far distant horizon.

"I'm too young to get married," she tells People. "Not age-wise, but I know myself, so why try to meet someone right now when I know I'm too young to do something serious?" 

Swift's face graces the cover of People's 40th anniversary issue, out this week.

In the magazine, the "Shake It Off" singer states that she'll be ok - married or not.

"I'm not too worried about whether I meet someone," she declares. "I'm going to be happy either way."

No doubt Swift is happy she met three particular women - "Girls" star and author Lena Dunham, singer Lorde and actress Jaime King. The bond she has with the trio is "the most important thing to me right now," Swift tells People in the 40th anniversary cover story. 

"They are trustworthy and know me and like me for who I actually am," says Swift.

"Being on my own, prioritizing my girlfriends, my family and my music above everything else and trying things I never thought I'd try," she adds. "It's really been a liberating and freeing time." 

Swifts new album, "1989," drops Oct. 27.
