Taylor Swift 'Esquire' Magazine Interview, Talks Dating Troubles and Death Threats

Taylor Swift covers yet another magazine — this time Esquire — as she chats about how the media makes her life into a scandal and how she deals with dating troubles and death threats.

"I would date someone, figure out we weren't compatible or figure out we didn't work out, and then we'd break up," says Swift. "That seems like a very normal thing for a young 20-something to do, and that is my biggest scandal."

The country singer's predominately famous for her break-up songs with past boyfriends such as Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor Kennedy and One Direction singer Harry Styles.

Phew!

But in recent interviews, the 1989 singer has been on a bandwagon about not being ready to date again and how it's hard to be a celebrity.

She tells Esquire, "I think it's healthy for everyone to go a few years without dating, just because you need to get to know who you are," She reveals, "And I've done more thinking and examining and figuring out how to cope with things on my own than I would have if I had been focusing on someone else's emotions and someone else's schedule. It's been really good."

Swift's dating life is not the only thing that takes precedence in her life. Her demand for security is described as a "necessary evil," and she reveals she hasn't driven in a car by herself in six years!

"They have to be in a car behind me," she explains. "Because just the sheer number of men we have in a file who have showed up at my house, showed up at my mom's house, threatened to either kill me, kidnap me or marry me. This is the strange and sad part of my life that I try not to think about. I try to be lighthearted about it, because I don't ever want to be scared. I don't want to be walking down the street scared. And when I have security, I don't have to be scared."
