Exclusive: Taylor Swift Spills Makeup Secrets & Previews Her New CG Ad
taylor-swift-commercial

When Taylor Swift first emerged on the scene, we got a glimpse of a fiercely talented star with a sweet and girly style that showcased her teen queen status. But as Taylor has grown and matured before our eyes, we've seen a total transformation from the gifted singer-songwriter. In the last year, the golden girl of country has slowly morphed into a burgeoning fashion maven, trying on some very cool new styles that venture outside of her normal aesthetic of sparkly gowns, swinging curls, and romantic makeup.

Playing up this new attitude, Taylor's latest CoverGirl commercial has her trying on a plethora of personas, from boho babe to edgy rockstar. We've got your exclusive first look at the new ad and a behind-the-scenes chat with Taylor as she plays dress up on set. We also scored a Q&A with the sweet-as-pie star, and delved into everything from her thoughts on the evolution of her look and what it was like to shoot that Vogue cover to why you really should avoid using Sharpie as eyeliner. She may have started out all cute and sweet, but we're discovering there's a bit of an edge to Swift, and that's only making us fall more in love with her.
