For her first-ever cover with GQ, Taylor Swift spent time with writer Chick Klosterman, giving an intense and wide-ranging interview, while dodging paparazzi and, at one point, taking a surprise call from one of the few humans who is almost as famous as she is (and still makes her start struck!). As Klosterman writes, “If you don’t take Swift seriously, you don’t take contemporary music seriously…There’s simply no antecedent for this kind of career: a cross-genre, youth-oriented, critically acclaimed colossus based entirely on the intuitive songwriting merits of a single female artist.” The cover, shot by Michael Thompson, is attached. Check back next week for Swift’s full interview and photoshoot. To see more on the cover go to: http://www.gq.com/story/taylor-swift-gq-cover-reveal
