NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If Taylor Swift didn't get enough excitement with her two Country Music Television awards, she got another shot when she learned she'd be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine's "The Best of Rock 2008” issue.

"Am I dreaming? Somebody pinch me, because I cannot believe what has happened this week!” Swift said the day the magazine hit newsstands.

"To say it's overwhelming does not even cover it. I was so blown away by such an incredible night at the CMT awards, and then to find out ... that I'm on the cover of Rolling Stone with Madonna, Bono and Springsteen! No way. I am completely in awe.”
"The 18-year-old country-pop sensation — a one-time Abercrombie and Fitch model raised on a Christmas tree farm in rural Pennsylvania — is equally appealing to tween girls (who can relate to TRL-dominating songs like ‘Teardrops on My Guitar') and grown men (those legs),” reads the article under the heading "Best Country Lolita.”

"I don't care how people look at me,” Swift told Rolling Stone. ‘`As long as they look at me.”

At the CMT awards, Swift won video of the year and female video for "Our Song,” a tune she wrote in ninth grade for a talent show. She leads the field of female nominees for next month's Academy of Country Music Awards with three nominations.
