How does Taylor Swift mend a broken heart?
She writes songs about the men who scorned her, natch.

"I'm not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I'm also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I've written about on this record," she tells the November issue of Glamour.
Her lyrics aren't the only place fans will find Swift dishing on her love life, which includes previous relationships with Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas.
"I don't seem to have any real strategy or pattern when it comes to love," Swift, 20, tells the mag.
Though she doesn't call out Lautner or Jonas by name, she admits that in the past she's "been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything."
The biggest lesson learned?
"At times I've been really guarded and careful and afraid to trust someone. But other times, you want to jump in headfirst," she says. "I've had moments of thinking, 'This is who I love and I don't care what anyone says.' Those moments are beautiful and wild and exciting, but I've learned that those moments can end up hurting you in the end."
And just because she's been burned by love in the past, that doesn't mean Swift has given up hope that she'll find Mr. Right.
"I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was "like, sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust."
