Taylor Swift covers the April 2010 issue of Elle magazine’s US edition.
The Grammy-winning singer is actually the star of two covers for Elle, the second of which can be found below. In the issue, she manages to avoid saying anything scandalous. Or wearing anything scandalous. Or doing anything remotely noteworthy. She’s so deliciously vanilla with everything she does, you kind of wish she would just go buck wild for once and strip in the middle of a shoot or something. No such luck. She only really talks about how having at least half-a-dozen paparazzi shoved up her backside, at any give time, stops her from making mistakes and how she gets material for her songs from her relationships.
Her interview, second cover, a pic from her shoot, and behind-the-scenes video.
- On who she thinks is hot: “Um, well…Taylor Lautner.”
- On if she’s fearless: “I overthink everything. I overanalyze everything.”
- On one of her biggest fears: “Me making a bunch of bad decisions and embarking on a painful, slow, devastating tailspin.”
- On media scrutiny: “I’ve had countless opportunities to do some really bad things. And then people start combing through everything I do trying to find the next mistake and misperception, which leads to more scrutiny. Like, if I go to a bar, even if I’m not drinking, who’s to say that a source isn’t going to say that I was doing something I shouldn’t have been doing? So it’s not only about your own moral compass, but the moral compasses of other people that you don’t know.”
- On yearning to visit Nashville as a child: “I just got it into my head that there was this magical place that I needed to go to because that was where dreams come true.”
- On sourcing material from her romantic relationships: “I like to categorize the various levels of heartbreak. I’ve only had that happen once. A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.”
