Singer Taylor Swift wants to remain grounded and thinks that her "genuine friends" can help her achieve that.

The `I Knew You Were Trouble` singer says she only surrounds herself with people like Selena Gomez and Emma Stone.

"I don't want people around me telling me what they think I'd like to hear. I love being surrounded by friends who are brutally honest and genuine,` contactmusic.com quoted Swift as saying.

"(We talk about) everything, except our work! It's always about reconnecting with each other, talking about relationships, love and guys - all the basic things,` she added.
