Singer Taylor Swift says she has not been on a date since her breakup with One Direction star Harry Styles.

The singer talked about her relationship status during an interview to Rolling Stone magazine and revealed she has consciously avoided dating because she felt she was making too many headlines for that reason, reports femalefirst.co.uk

"(I) have not gone on a date. People are going to feel sorry for me when you write that. But it's true," she said.

"I'm just not comfortable providing that kind of entertainment anymore. I don't like seeing slide shows of guys I've apparently dated. I don't like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. I don't like it when headlines read 'Careful, Bro, She'll Write a Song About You', because it trivialises my work," she added.
