Taylor Swift is honored as the "biggest pop star in the world" by New York magazine in its new issue.

In the cover story interview, the singer opened up about using aspects of her personal life as inspiration for lyrical content, where she is heading in the future and the deep connection she has with her fans.

"I think that allowing yourself to feel raw, real emotions in public is something I am never going to be afraid to do. Hopefully that's the case, if I can remain a real human," Swift told the publication. "I'm fine with being honest with my fans about the fact that it's okay that everything isn't okay all the time."

"I love my life, I love my career, I love my friends - but things are not okay all the time," she added. "So I don't sing about things being okay all the time."

Talking about writing "songs about crazy love," the 23-year-old explained that "if I go on two dates with a guy and we don't click, I'm not writing a song about that. It didn't matter in the emotional grand scheme of things. There's a lot that goes on in daily life that isn't really worth turning into a verse and a chorus."

The performer is already working on a new album is and teased there are "a lot of things to draw from emotionally at the moment."

"But I have to draw from them with a different perspective than on Red. I can't say the same things over and over, you know?" she added. "I mean, I think it's just all the more important that I don't ever allow myself to coast."

"When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be, like: 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids," she says, quipping, "It's looking like a good pension plan."
