Taylor Swift always wants to cry

Taylor Swift is ”always” close to tears.

The 24-year-old singer – who was just 17 when she released her first album – admits sometimes it can be hard to deal with the pressures of finding success so young.

She said: ”I’m always, like, one half step away from crying, at any point.”

The ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker finds the best way to deal with her success is to spend time with her friends.

And one new pal she has made is ‘Girls’ creator Lena Dunham, who she has quickly become ”best friends” with after initially thinking the actress was mocking her.

She explained in an interview with talk show host David Letterman: ”I Googled her and I saw her quoting my lyrics and I thought, she has to be doing that ironically, she has to be making fun of me…I have this big loser complex from school.

”Then we met in person…and we’ve been best friends ever since.”

Taylor has previously dated the likes of Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal and admitted she is happy to be single and not ”shopping” for a new boyfriend because she hasn’t been with any ”lousy” men in some time.

She said: ”I haven’t had any lousy boyfriends in the last year and a half.

”I’m just not looking around for them, at them, I’m not shopping.”
