With such a high-profile and pressure-filled job, Taylor admits in a new interview she likes a man to take control and make decisions in a relationship! Keep reading to see what she said about feeling like a ’50′s housewife!’

Taylor Swift kisses and tells in her song lyrics and now she’s revealing more about her relationship mindset in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

About her famous relationships, Taylor says she needs the guy to step up!

“It needs to be equal. If I feel too much like I’m wearing the pants, I start to feel uncomfortable and then we break up.”

Taylor adds that she wants a relationship that is “the ultimate collaboration,” but also, she’s a busy girl and that occasionally, “it’s wonderful to hand over the reins to your boyfriend when you control so much of these big, high-pressure decisions, you know? That is a huge defining factor in who you choose to be with.”

Do you think John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal weren’t man enough for Taylor?

Taylor is known for her super feminine style — wearing dresses at almost every single event. “There’s just something so feminine about a dress,” she spilled.

“Whether it’s a summertime dress that makes me feel carefree, an evening cocktail dress that makes me feel fancy, or a vintage dress that makes me feel like a ’50s housewife—which I enjoy feeling like, for some reason—I just really like dresses.”

And wouldn’t you like a peek into her closet? Taylor admits she owns “hundreds” of dresses, hoping not to end up on a worst-dressed list.

“Because I’m in a predicament where I can’t wear a dress twice or else it’s pointed out in magazines, so unfortunately I have to shop for dresses all the time,” she laughs.

Do you think Taylor has a good relationship ideology, HollywoodLifers?

Okay. I’m a feminist.

I do not understand why people are attacking her about being anti-feminist, though. She explicitly stated that she likes equality – she wants her relationships to be mutually decisive. She says she doesn’t want to make all of the decisions, but she doesn’t say she wants the man to make them all, either. She clearly says that it needs to be EQUAL.

That being said, she deals with a ton of pressure because of her career. So yes, she admits she SOMETIMES thinks it is nice to be able to hand over the reins to her boyfriend and have him take over. I’m a feminist, and sometimes I feel like that. Because of the type of person I am, people often put me in charge. Sometimes, it can be nice to not have to make the final decision. Sometimes it can be nice not to have the sole responsibility placed on you.

Taylor isn’t saying she wants her boyfriend to direct every part of her life all the time. Thus, she is clearly not being anti-feminist.

Also, you’re attacking the fifties housewife statement. First of all, fifties style is amazing – I don’t blame her for liking to watch it. As for her liking to feel like a fifties housewife sometimes? I really doubt she means that she wants to be in the kitchen all the time and have no life outside of her boyfriend and family. I think she’s saying she likes how idyllic the fifties seem, and just maybe she’s saying that sometimes she likes to stay in and cook because it’s so different from her usual day.

It’s like u took the words right out of my mouth lol
And what’s wrong with u pll dissing her jeez ur making a big fuss out of her hair extension get a life and READ the article don’t comment on the pic u sound like a 3 year old who can’t read jeez
It’s nice to have somone to give the responsibility of making a few desicions once in a while when u feel u need a rest from that pressure and she just likes to be a little old fashioned its fine I like it
It’s better than bieng a selfish business snub who just cares about the money (not trying to stereotype other hard working business women out their) I actually like that idea of the old fashioned mum I want to do that when I get married its more fairy tale than realistic nowadays but it’s fun and unique and that’s taylor isn’t she just a hopeless romantic who just wants to live in a world of fantasy so unique and magical and really sweet
It’s really rare to find these days ( btw I’m a girl and not lesbian just saying guyz would like that)

Okay so can we take minute to put it all together. Taylor likes a man to take control, she likes
“feeling like a 1950s housewife”, in another interview she had NO clue what feminism is. This girl is basically delusional and living in another era where she gets to wear an apron and makes dinner all day for when her husband gets home from work and it’s so perfect like June Cleaver.

It’s funny (aka sad and ironic) because she is essentially a BUSINESSWOMAN.
