On Tuesday, Maxim released the image of its latest cover featuring the singer, actress, choreographer, model, director, and entrepreneur showing off her washboard abs in a stunning photo.

“I’ve followed Maxim for a long time and I’ve always felt like I should be on the cover,” Taylor told the magazine during the cover interview. “So to actually get the call saying they want me on the cover really means a lot. I was like, what? They want me on the cover? Okay!”
