[photogallerylink id=47335 align=right][lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Taylor Swift[/lastfm] put on the biggest hat she could find for the cover of the February 2012 issue of Vogue Magazine and she’s talking about what (or who) is inspiring some of the songs on her upcoming album!

CBS NEWS says that Taylor tells Vogue that her new album is about (spoiler alert) HEARTBREAK! She says:

“There’s just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak, and that will turn out to be what the next album is about.”

“The only way that I can feel better about myself — pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone — is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity.”

Taylor is also dishing about what she’s learned from dating:

“I have red flags now. I can’t deal with someone who’s obsessed with privacy. People kind of care if there are two famous people dating. But no one cares that much. If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that.”

“I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid,” she admitted — something we may have all been guilty of from time to time.
