Taylor Swift is opening up about dating and her track record with men in the new issue of InStyle, admitting she needs to change the qualities she looks for in a potential boyfriend.

The “Red” singer, 23, has dated Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles and more, and she’s notorious for writing about it.

Swift told InStyle, “My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting.”

Since it’s never worked in the past, she admits she wants to “sit out for a while” and figure out what she really wants in a guy. “That’s just a phase I’ve been in lately. I don’t think this should be how I proceed in life. It’s important to be self-aware about these things because you don’t want to end up with that guy,” she said.

“I’d like to think if you’re with the right person, you just feel great about things you’ve never felt great about before. At least that’s how I’ve heard it’s supposed to be. I wouldn’t know,” she concluded.
