Taylor Swift has enough people worrying about her love life.

In a new interview with Wonderland magazine's summer issue, the country-pop star says her future—romantically and professionally—is uncertain, and she's more than fine with that.

"I've kind of realized that I have no idea where I'm going to be next year, or in six months, or in two months," she says. "I [have] no idea where I'm going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes. I have no idea if I'm going to get married or be single forever or have a family or just be on my own. You know, paint in a cottage by the ocean by myself."

"I just have no idea and I'm kind of into that," she explains. "You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that's great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future."

That said, Taylor, 23, isn't in a rush to date just for the sake of dating. "Relationships are like traffic lights," she says. "And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it's a green light."

And as everyone knows from her music, Taylor's had her fair share of heartbreak. She tried to describe the feeling, saying, "It's very complex; you're never feeling just sad."

"Maybe you wake up and you feel sad, and then you get angry, and then you feel like, 'I'm fine,' and then you feel confident," she says. "And then you feel a sense of doubt, and then you're insecure, and then there's jealousy, and then you're back to sad—and then you feel fine again."

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
