We’re so used to seeing Taylor Swift in sparkly this and flowery that, and more recently in vintage this and adorable French bicycle that. I mean, we’re not knocking those things AT ALL (I myself am fully committed to wearing Audrey Hepburn-inspired striped-shirts every day of my life), but we’re OUTTA CONTROL loving this slightly mussed-up looking photo via Perez Hilton of Taylor on the cover of Rolling Stone’s annual “Hot Issue”! Girl looks like she straight up got out of the shower and blow-dried her hair the old-fashioned way! Not to knock professional blowouts, but it’s always nice to see celebs looking gorgeous “normal,” too, right? (Er, I guess in this case, “normal” being ultra-leggy and perfect.)

Dubbed by Rolling Stone as “The Heartbreak Kid,” the “Begin Again” singer spoke about her in-the-moment views on love, “The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I’ll talk myself out of it. …I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.” I mean, why not? Now’s the time! If Taylor being a “Heartbreak Kid” means more songs like “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble,” then by all means, Taylor, keep on fallin’!
