Country pop star Taylor Swift has had a bumpy love life. Here’s a look at some of her celebrity boyfriends, a few of whom she may or may not have written breakup songs about.
Despite her insistence that she and Disney Channel phenom Joe Jonas were not dating, Swift’s match seemingly made in teeny-bopper heaven nevertheless came to an end. The couple “dated” from August to October 2008, while she was 18.
“It’s all right, I’m cool,” Swift said of the breakup on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” The split apparently took place over the phone. “You know what? It’s like, when I find that person that is right for me, he’ll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I’m not even going to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18. It was like a record, I think. For how quick. I looked at the call log, it was like 27 seconds. That’s an ouch.”
Her track “Forever and Always” is said to be inspired by the breakup. (Christopher Polk / Getty Images for Clear Channel)

Swift and Monteith were rumored to be dating in 2010. (Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times)
Taylor Swift and actor Jake Gyllenhaal got together after an “SNL” appearance in October 2010, when he was 29 and she was 21.

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles dated for a few months before ending their relationship over the holidays. The One Direction boy-bander, 18, and Swift, 23, had made their relationship public for only about a month, though the pair had been spotted flirting backstage at “The X Factor” in mid-November. The relationship halted when she flew home alone only three days into their vacation in the British Virgin Islands. The two reportedly met in March at the Kids’ Choice Awards.
“They were on holiday and had an almighty row,” a source told the Daily Mail, confirming they’d split up. “They are two young stars at the top of their game so who knows what will happen in the future.” (Kevin Kane / Getty Images)
