Taylor Swift Sometimes Feels Like A Giant

The award-winning country music star stands at 5ft 11ins and admits her height can be intimidating to other guys.

She has revealed she will only date men who are taller than her and sometimes feels self-conscious at parties when she is looking down on other people.

“The bad thing about being tall is the majority of people are at a different eye level than you, and so you feel like you’re looking down to talk to people, which is kind of unnatural – and they have to look way up to talk to you,” Taylor said in an interview with the American edition of OK! magazine.

“It just depends on what group of people you’re around. If there are a few scattered tall people in the room or in the group of people that you’re talking to, it’s not awkward at all. But if you’re around a bunch of little, mini people and you’re the only giant in the circle, it can be kind of interesting.”

As well as wanting to find a man who towers over her, Taylor also says a good sense of humour is important. The 20-year-old blonde has been single since splitting from Hollywood hunk Taylor Lautner late last year. Although she is happy on her own, Taylor would love to date someone who makes her feel relaxed and can brighten up her day. “Definitely somebody who can make me laugh,” she said when discussing her perfect guy. “Somebody who had a compatible sense of humour with me. That would be the most important thing.”

Taylor was recently romantically linked to musician John Mayer.
