When you’re 20 years old, your dating history is diminutive even when you’re a superstar…unless you’re Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton. Taylor Swift is America’s sweetheart country crooner and she plays the wholesome part of a southern belle virginal goodie-two-shoes. As such, she’s only had two confirmed relationships—though with very high profile gentlemen. And that doesn’t mean the rumors don’t fly.
She was linked to a doozy in 2007 when she caught the eye of every teen girl’s fantasy Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Disappointingly, their toothy-smiled, wispy-haired relationship ended abruptly the following year. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t leave a lasting mark—her heartbreak song ‘Forever & Always’ is reportedly based on her romance with the bushy-eyebrowed Disney star.
Like all young love, the fur started to fly post-break-up. According to Swift, Jonas dumped her on the phone and she responded by putting him on blast via The Ellen Degeneres Show saying, “I looked at the call log—it was like 27 seconds. That's got to be a record.” Then she posted an amusing promo video on her MySpace page where she holds up a Joe Jonas doll and says, “See, this one even comes with a phone, so he can break up with other dolls.”
Jonas, tired of having his good name dragged through the mud responded with a blog post writing, “I called to discuss feelings with the other person. Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk. A phone call can be pretty short when someone else ends the call.”
But proving there is life after a Jonas, Swift stepped her game up and snagged a werewolf, and not just any werewolf—the werewolf Taylor Lautner. He and Swift shot scenes together for the 2009 movieValentines Day including a kissing sequence. Rumors quickly suggested the two were crushing hard for each other. Later when Swift hosted SNL in November 2009, she cracked jokes about her infamous Kanye West stage crash and took another jab at Jonas by admitting she was dating a werewolf. But the whirlwind romance was short-lived and the two parted ways before the new year rolled around.
In 2010, Swift had to dodge rumors that she was dating Glee star Cory Monteith and British actor Toby Hemmingway, who she chose to star in her music video for ‘Mine.’ But a bigger rumor about her past surfaced in the fall. Ditching her young beaus for a more experienced partner, in 2009 Taylor reportedly spent some face time with notorious heartbreaker and singer John Mayer outside of the studio while they were recording a duet. In her 2010 album, Speak Now, Taylor's single 'Dear John' seemed to be aimed at the singer, who is 13 years her senior.
Lyrics like "Don't you think I was too young/To be messed with" and "Don't you think 19's too young/To be played/By your dark, twisted games/When I loved you so" point straight to a messy break-up. If the past is any indication, this superstar is not afraid to name names in her songs.\

But Taylor didn't seem to learn too much from her heartbreak following a relationship with an older man. The country darling has most recently been seen out and about with 29-year-old actor Jake Gyllenhaal. He better stick to Taylor's rules or he may be the subject of a 'Dear John' sequel, 'Dear Jake.'
