Taylor Swift Talks Kanye West, Apple Music Crusade & More On Vanity Fair's Sept Issue

Updated: Tuesday, August 4, 2015, 11:11 [IST]

Taylor Swift is on the cover of Vanity Fair yet again! The 'Bad Blood' singer is gracing the September cover of VF and looking at the pics, our jaws are down on the floor.

Tay Tay has had a heavy year with a record breaking music video, big wins, a big girls gang, Apple Music crusade, and finding love yet again.

There is no doubt that Taylor Swift is perhaps the most influential 25-year-old in America. Mario Testino has captured the gorgeous star in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Interestingly, the singer was interviewed in London during her massive 1989 world tour.

In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, the global pop princess tells writer Josh Duboff about the infamous Apple Music crusade, the past year of her life, including her new laid-back attitude towards dating and more. The singer also discussed about her friendships and her willingness to take on tech giants.

Talking about the letter she wrote to Apple music, Taylor Swift told VF, "I wrote the letter at around four A.M. The contracts had just gone out to my friends, and one of them sent me a screenshot of one of them. I read the term ‘zero percent compensation to rights holders.' Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I'll write a song and I can't sleep until I finish it, and it was like that with the letter."

Guess whom did Swift consult before releasing the letter on the Internet. "I read it to my mom," she told the mag. "She's always going to be the one. I just said, ‘I'm really scared of this letter, but I had to write it. I might not post it, but I had to say it.' "

Although media might make news of Tay Tay and her friends who are still sharing a same bond after sharing same men! However, the singer is not bothered. "We even have girls in our group who have dated the same people," Swift said. "It's almost like the sisterhood has such a higher place on the list of priorities for us. It's so much more important than some guy that it didn't work out with."

Talking about friendships, Tay Tay also revealed how Jay Z helped her befriend Kanye West after the 2009 VMAs stage stint during her acceptance speech.

Befriending Kanye West

Talking about friendships, Tay Tay also revealed how Jay Z helped her befriend Kanye West after the 2009 VMAs stage stint during her acceptance speech. "I became friends with Jay Z, and I think it was important, for Jay Z, for Kanye and I to get along. . . . And then Kanye and I both reached a place where he would say really nice things about my music and what I've accomplished, and I could ask him how his kid's doing."

Style Icon

"I think I know how to put together a good outfit," the style icon told the mag. "But any day you're going to admit to being a style icon is a day you need to look in the mirror and really check yourself. They usually dress me up like a 12-year-old French boy. It's nice to be glamorous.""
