Country pop star Taylor Swift is getting ready to deliver yet another artistic blow to all of her exes who broke her heart. In a new interview with Vogue magazine, the star says her upcoming album will also be of the kiss-and-tell variety.

She's known for using her personal experiences for some of her biggest hits, so it's no wonder Taylor plans to continue doing the same, finding inspiration for her music from her most intimate moments.

Speaking to the famous publication about her upcoming album and whether she has any idea what shape it will take, Swift says it too will be inspired by heartbreak and lost love.

“There's just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak,” says Taylor, sending the rumor mill into overdrive that she's speaking of her ill-fated and insanely mediated romance with Jake Gyllenhaal.

“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,” she adds.

As Taylor's fans must already know, she's dated some pretty famous men since breaking out into the spotlight at the age of 16. Some can even be recognized in her love ballads.

Before Gyllenhaal, the singer was also linked to Taylor Lautner of “The Twilight Saga” fame, Joe Jonas and John Mayer, with all romances reportedly ending against her will.

Swift nearly confirms this for Vogue, saying she's known to be really “stupid” when she's in love. Otherwise, she thinks of herself as a smart girl.

For the time being, Taylor is single, so that's why she's turning to past experiences for inspiration.

“I got nothing going on! I just don't really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I'm not sad and I'm not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that,” she explains.
