Taylor Swift has appeared on the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine where she acknowledged the fact that she is single and does not go "boyfriend - shopping" anymore. The "Red" singer is currently enjoying life in her posh, recently-purchased New York penthouse and likes the city so much that she wants to convince her friend Selena Gomez to move to New York City too.

The multiple time Grammy Award winning singer believes that when a girl takes her mind off getting a boyfriend, she sees other girls differently and makes friends with them. She cites the example of how she finds "Royals" singer Lorde very "powerful and strong" but at the same time she says she is not intimidated by Lorde stealing a boy she herself might like as having a boyfriend is not her priority right now.

"When your number-one priority is getting a boyfriend, you're more inclined to see a beautiful girl and think, 'Oh, she's gonna get that hot guy I wish I was dating,'" Taylor told Rolling Stone magazine. "But when you're not boyfriend-shopping, you're able to step back and see other girls who are killing it and think, 'God, I want to be around her.'"

The blonde beauty also told the magazine that her friends Karlie Kloss and Lena Dunham stay with her whenever they visit New York and now she wants Selena to do the same. She accepted the fact that New York City intimidated her initially but now she likes everything about it, including the paparazzi who do not "provoke or ask weird" questions. She calls getting Selena Gomez to New York as "Project Selena" and told the magazine that she believes she can convince Gomez to move base.

Taylor also dicussed her next album titled "1989" and revealed that it is influenced by the music of famous artists from 80s era namely Madonna, Phill Collins and Annie Lennox. She added that the album does not have any country music but has "blatant pop music." The songs in the album do not diss her exes but revolve around relationships in general.

"Different phases of your life have different levels of deep, traumatizing heartbreak. And in this period of my life, my heart was not irreparably broken. So it's not as boy-centric of an album, because my life hasn't been boycentric," Swift added.
