Taylor Swift Named #1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 List
Taylor Swift has been named #1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list. The magazine made the announcement today, May 18 and revealed her cover for their July/July issue.
In the issue, Maxim talked to Taylor about being named #1, preparing for her 1989 tour, feminism, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On being #1: “It’s really nice and such an incredible compliment. This year has been my favorite year of my life so far. I got to make an album exactly the way I wanted to make it. I got to put it out exactly the way that I dreamed of putting it out. Every one of these kinds of whims and ideas came to fruition.
The videos—I’m proud of those, I’m proud of the tour, I’m proud of the way this has all happened. In the midst of all that, this is really nice. It really feels like a wonderful celebration of my favorite year.”
On preparing for her 1989 tour: “We’ve been in rehearsals for months, trying to get the live instrumental versions of these songs to as close to the album sounds as possible. And also you’re lengthening things, creating mash- ups with things. It was fun to play around and get everything sonically right before we got on the actual stage and started doing the choreography. But before all that—probably close to a year ago—we started setting the stage, so that was when the drawing started. Now all we have to do is actually…do the tour.”
You can read her full issue when it hits shelves on May 27! Do you agree with Taylor being #1?
