Taylor Swift insists that she is still friends with ex boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

The singer says that Taylor and her will “always be close”.

“He’s one of my best friends,” she said.

“He’s wonderful, and we’ll always be close. I’m so thankful for that.”

Speaking about love after Mr Lautner, Taylor said: “I don’t seem to have any real strategy or pattern when it comes to love…. At times I’ve been really guarded and careful and afraid to trust someone,”

“But other times, you want to jump in headfirst. I’ve had moments of thinking, This is who I love and I don’t care what anyone says. Those moments are beautiful and wild and exciting, but I’ve learned that those moments can end up hurting you in the end. I’ve been careful in love. I’ve been careless in love. And I’ve had adventures I wouldn’t trade for anything.”

“When I’m getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career.”

“Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was ‘like sooooo cool’ if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.”
