Future President of the United States Taylor Swift will be gracing the cover of GQ next month, but the good people at NME have the jump on them when it comes to exclusives. The magazine features Taylor on the cover of this week’s issue, and includes a lengthy interview in which Swift talks about her beef with Nicki Minaj, the massive success of 1989, her tour and the endless string of people she’s brought on stage, and mending fences with Kanye West.

You may recall that Swift and Minaj got into a little dust up on Twitter earlier this summer, but thankfully, they’ve since cleared the air. Swift isn’t keen on discussing the whole thing in the NME interview, but did elaborate on her new policy on dealing with things like that in the future.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” she said. “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.”

Not talking about things in public definitely seems like a good move. However, I feel like it’s something she should have picked up on much earlier than 2015. But whatever. That’s why she’s Future Empress of the Americas and I’m writing about her.

As for talking about her new bestie, Kanye, Swift told a very Taylor Swiftian story, complete with casual name-dropping, about how their relationship has changed for the better.

“Me and Kanye are on such good terms now, six years later,” says Swift. “It took a while… But 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.’”

Kanye, wrong. Oh Taylor, what an imagination you have.

The magazine comes out October 9.
