Tell My Story

Lea Michele is featured in V Magazine. The star is featured in the new Spring issue and it was shot by photographer, Terry Richardson.

In the issue, Lea talks Cory Monteith, her friends calling her “Grandma”, her new album, Louder, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On how Cory’s death affected her album: “My album was completed in June. We had 12 songs. And then my boyfriend passed away, in July. [The singer’s Glee costar and long-term boyfriend, Cory Monteith, died from a drug overdose, a passing for which nobody was prepared, least of all Lea Michele.]

So I met with Sia [Furler], because she’s a friend and because we were thinking, Do we want to add anything to the record now? And we wrote ‘If You Say So,’ on the same day she played me ‘Cannonball.’”

On her friends calling her “Grandma”: “My friends call me Grandma, but, like, Grandma’s killing it right now. I’m pretty sure Grandma nailed it in a half-naked Terry Richardson shoot, okay? So I’m fine with it. I just do my thing. I do what’s best for me. That’s it.”
