Taylor Swift first appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in March 2009, but the country pop star seems even more psyched the second time around. "That's what you hope for your whole life as a musician: the cover of Rolling Stone," Swift told us behind the scenes of her cover shoot in New York. "To be offered it for the second time now is amazing. I'm having a sort of dream week."
In between set-ups captured by photographer Theo Wenner, Swift chatted amicably about her latest smash single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and her bold new album Red, out on October 22nd.
