Taylor Swift Tops Maxim's Hot 100 List!
by Shannon KeirnanIt's turning into a pretty record year for America's sweetheart Taylor Swift. The 25-year-old completely cleaned up at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards, raking in 8 wins of her 14 nominations.
She also dropped her new cameo-dripping video for "Bad Blood" during the awards, earning an enthusiastic response from the audience. She was spotted snuggling up to rumored beau, DJ Calvin Harris, who greeted her wins with supportive hugs and kisses. Not too shabby, girl.
And then, Monday, Swift was named Number One on Maxim's Hot 100 List, 2015.
"It's really nice and such an incredible compliment," she said of her placement. Her Maxim photo reveals a different look than we are used to from the red-lipped blonde beauty. Swift sports strong eyebrows and dark hair with an 80's feel.
Swift is "deeply unconcerned with whether or not you consider her attractive, which of course only makes her more so," notes the magazine.
Swift, who was not nominated for the List last year, is also using her new position and notariety to speak openly about feminism.
"I didn't see myself being held back until I was a woman," she told Maxim. "Or the double standards in headlines, the double standards in the way stories are told, the double standard in the way things are perceived. A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining."
It doesn't sound like she has much to "whine" about this year... and we all know she'll turn her next heartbreak into a chart-topper. Congratulations, Taylor!
