Damn! It ain’t easy being Taylor Swift!
After Golden Globes co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler mocked T-Swift’s slightly serious reaction to their joke about her love life, Chelsea Handler tossed her opinion into the mix during her appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.
In the April issue of Vanity Fair, Taylor paid homage to Katie Couric, reciting a quote she shared with the 23-year-old singer when asked how she deals with “mean girls.” “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women,” Swift quoted Couric as saying.

When Andy Cohen, host of Watch What Happens Live, asked Chelsea to address the controversy, she said, “I think that was a bold statement but I’m not on anyone’s side because I just don’t care enough.”

“I like that she’s being that vociferous about something that she thinks they were out to get her. They were clearly making a joke just about her demeanor, which is embarrassing. I mean, she’s just dated so many men,” she added.
That’s not all Chelsea had to say about the young country music starlet, however. She speculated why Taylor has little luck with long-term relationships.
“My theory about Taylor Swift is that she’s a virgin, that everyone breaks up with her because they date her for two weeks and she’s like, ‘I’m not gonna do it.’ And they’re like, ‘Oh, well, forget it. Then I don’t want to date you,'” Handler joked.
Contrary to what Chelsea Handler believes, in her Vanity Fair cover story, Taylor said she has dated “exactly two people” since 2010. And though she is known for writing songs about her failed relationships, she doesn’t think her love life is anyone’s business.
“For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that’s taking something that potentially should be celebrated–a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way–that’s taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist,” Swift explained.
Right on, Taylor! We love your confessional albums, keep cranking them out, girl.
