I think this song has a much deeper meaning then how the music video actually portrays it. I think the song is actually quite sad, and it's basically Taylor expressing how she has lost hope in finding a relationship that is actually going to be successful. The media has given her the reputation of being a slut and being with many men, and she is using that stigma to show us how she is only looking for a relationship that will be eternal for her.
I find the sad part is how she disses herself in the song, which adds to the idea that she is losing hope of the possibility of love. For example; "You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain." She's treating the relationship likes it is already doomed and will go nowhere.
That's my interpretation. I may be wrong and maybe it really is just about Taylor Swift being a psychopath. I can't tell with her nowadays. xD
@theAteam I don't think that it's her "dissing herself"; it's her almost taking on the persona or playing the 'character' of how everyone else sees her. She's much too stable to actually mean she'll do some of this.

There's some bitterness here, though. I get the feeling she's very pissed off and certainly exaggerating the way people portray her, as if to say, "Here, you think I'm crazy/a traitor/jealous? Fine, I'll write a song in that character and show you how someone like that might really act, i.e. that I'm actually human rather than some boyfriend-draining vampire."...

@theAteam She's deliberately simplifying and twisting people's words about her, almost as if in retaliation. I'm sure that in real life, it really went down in a much more complicated way like that, although it's partly Taylor's fault for making her lyrics so journalistic and hinting at very specific things. That encourages people/the tabloids to read anything at all possible into every one of her songs they can.
