Taylor Swift Is Her Own Manager But Not When It Comes to Love – ‘It Needs to be Equal’

Taylor Swift handles her $57 million fortune and is the highest-paid entertainer under 30, according to Forbes. She chooses her own dresses but she calls relationships "the ultimate collaboration," in the December/January issue of Harper's Bazaar.

Swift covers the December issue of Harper's Bazaar and talks about her growing friendship with Selena Gomes and Emma Stone. "We never talk about fashion, about career, about our ambitions or our projects," she says of her friends. "We just talk about relationships, feelings, love, and boys."

The 22-year old singer had few high-profile break-ups in the past two years including the most recent one with Conor Kennedy. As she speaks about relationships, the singer admits: "Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction."

"Despite all of that and how unpleasant it is, as a writer you get a lot from it. It's a crazy justification system. You know that guy you really wish you could erase from your memory? But then the answer is track six, eight, 12, and 13."

Swift's love for dresses is majestic. "There's just something so feminine about a dress," she adds. "Whether it's a summertime dress that makes me feel carefree, an evening cocktail dress that makes me feel fancy or a vintage dress that makes me feel like a '50s housewife - which I enjoy feeling like, for some reason - I just really like dresses."

Swift recalls when she was 15 and had to attend her first prom, "I saw that picture of Gwyneth in the pink gown."

"I went all over the mall and showed it to all the store owners and said, 'Do you have anything that looks like this?' And no one did."

Swift takes the final decision when it is about her future. "When I'm in management meetings when we're deciding my future, those decisions are left up to me," she told the magazine. "I'm the one who has to go out and fulfill all these obligations, so I should be able to choose which ones I do or not. That's the part of my life where I feel most in control."
