Taylor Swift continues to impress me with the gracious way she’s handling both her fame and those who would try to bring her down. Last fall, Taylor released a song on her first album called “Forever and Always,” which she explained was about her split with Joe Jonas. She told Ryan Seacrest that when she finds the right guy she won’t remember the superstar who broke up with by voice mail, and said “When I look at that person, I’m not even going to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.”

Taylor has a new interview with Star Magazine in which she’s asked if she’ll ever forget Joe Jonas, and her response made me laugh out loud. Imagine your ex constantly staring at you from various poorly-made products aimed at young girls. She also addresses the Kanye “Imma let you finish” speech, and tells a story about an old crush surprising her after he’d realized that she’d written a song about him. I think I’m becoming a fan:

How upset were you after Kanye’s rant?
I can’t say it didn’t affect me. I had to perform live five minutes later. It wasn’t easy. But all the other artists showed me a lot of love in the hours after that.

Speaking of love, you write a lot about boys. Do they worry you’re going to write a song about them?
Look, if guys don’t want me to write bad songs about them, then don’t do bad things!

“Forever & Always” is about Joe Jonas dumping you over the phone. Is it hard when an ex is famous? Can you forget him?
Not when he’s on pencil sharpeners, T-shirts and the sides of buses!

But not all your songs are about heartbreak.
I’ve named names in songs about people I’ve had crushes on. Sometimes they won’t contact me about it, but they’ll put it on their MySpace page and get a big head about it.

Like who?
The guy from “Teardrops on My Guitar,” Drew, showed up in my driveway two years after the album came out. I was like, “You’re late!”

Are you looking for a boyfriend?
Someday I’ll find the guy who’s just right for me. I’m only 19. When I find that person, it’ll be wonderful.

Last November, Taylor recorded a video blog that made fun of Joe. (Linked video is an excerpt from a longer video) She held up a Joe Jonas doll and said “See, this one even comes with a phone. So he can break up with other dolls.”

I love her humor about her past and optimism about how she’ll find her match at some point. I really believe that you have to think that way if you want to find the right person, and that there’s someone out there for everyone. Whoever Tyler ends up with is going to have to stay on his toes, though, or she won’t hesitate to call him out on his bad behavior. This girl has a lot of spunk and class and we’re sure to hear much more about her.
