Taylor Swift Named ‘Best Country Lolita’

Taylor Swift graces the cover of the May issue of Rolling Stone, as the only country star to make the magazine's 'Best of Rock 2008' list.

"Swift is a rare blend of goofy teenager and polished saleswoman, which has let her tap into a huge market of country-loving teens," raves the magazine. "She can trade 'Napoleon Dynamite' quotes for hours, but she's also mastered the art of smooth-talking radio station personnel: her manners are as perfect as her complexion."

The article goes on to list some of the 18-year-old's many impressive accomplishments: 40 million visitors to her MySpace page, 15 weeks at No. 1 on the country album charts, three pop-crossover hits and more than 2.5 million albums sold. Those CD sales just might result in a visit to a tattoo parlor. Swift vowed early in her career that if she sold two million albums, she'd get a heart tattooed on her left foot. But that's a promise she doubts she can keep.

"I can back out of it," Swift tells Rolling Stone. "Mostly because my dad said he'd take it off with a belt sander!"

The 'Best of Rock' issue lists Swift as 'Best Country Lolita.' Other categories range from 'Best Rock T-Shirts' to 'Best Live Band' (Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band) to 'Best Reunion (Led Zeppelin).
