We all know Taylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0adores her fans … but she did admit when she feels a bit weirded out by them … when they act like her songs are paternity tests!<\/p>\n

The pop superstar shared the tidbit during an interview with The New York Times<\/a>, published Tuesday, about her songwriting. During the discussion, she addressed the “corners” of her fanbase who “take things to a really extreme place” as they try to assign her songs to a real-life person.<\/p>\n

She explained … “When it gets a little bit weird for me is when people act like it’s sort of a paternity test, like, ‘This song’s about that person.’ Because I’m like, ‘That dude didn’t write the song, I did.'”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But, she said she understands that’s just part of the game and that’s why she holds her relationship and perception of her art so close to her.<\/p>\n

As you know, a long-running criticism is that Taylor writes about the people she dates … and fans get their virtual pitchforks out against those men if they feel they’ve done her wrong. Fans have assigned “Dear John” to John Mayer<\/a>, “All Too Well” to Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a>, “Style” to Harry Styles<\/a> — and so on — all without official confirmation from Tay herself.<\/p>\n

But, the “Elizabeth Taylor” singer said, while she doesn’t drown herself in online hate comments, criticism fuels her and has been the fire behind hits such as “Blank Space” and “Anti-Hero.”<\/p>\n

As William Shakespeare — and Taylor — say … “All’s well that ends well!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift Fans Weird Me Out … When They Act Like My Songs Are Paternity Tests!!!
