Taylor Swift [1] may have recently landed her first-ever GQ cover [2], but that's not the only magazine she appears on this month. The singer also graces the cover of NME's October issue [3], where she talks about her mini feud with Nicki Minaj, plus how things are going with Kanye West [4]. As a refresher, Taylor tweeted at Nicki back in July [5] after the rapper complained about the lack of black vocalists nominated for MTV VMAs. In the weeks that followed, Taylor tweeted an apology [6], Nicki said they were "all good" during her interview on Good Morning America [7], and the pair shared the stage at the VMAs [8]. In the wake of it all, though, Taylor has learned a valuable lesson. See her quotes below.
- On her mini feud with Nicki: "I don't want to talk about it . . . But I send text messages now. If there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding, I go to someone's management, I get their number and I text them. It's an important lesson for anyone to learn in 2015."
- On her relationship with Kanye West: "Me and Kanye are on such good terms now, six years later. It took a while."
- On a hilarious dinner scenario with Kanye: "I had to tell Beck this story earlier. I was at dinner with Kanye a week after the Grammys, he stops what he's saying and he goes, 'What is this song? I need to listen to this every day.' I said, 'It's Beck, it's on an album called 'Morning Phase', I think you've heard of it . . . ' We just burst out laughing. And he says, 'Hey, sometimes I'm wrong.'"
