Taylor Swift’s ‘People’ Cover Recreates Mia Farrow’s Look From The Magazine’s First Issue

Long before the Baz Luhrmann-directed The Great Gatsby hit theaters last year (or the 2000 version, with Paul Rudd and Mira Sorvino, hit TV screens), a somewhat dull silver screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic Jazz Age novel, starring Robert Redford, Sam Waterston and Mia Farrow, was released in 1974. Farrow wound up on the very first issue of People at that time in full Daisy Buchanan drag. Now, “Shake It Off” songbird Taylor Swift has recreated that same look for the cover of the publication’s special 40th anniversary issue.

The accompanying interview is a bunch of ho-hum nonsense about Taylor not wanting a boyfriend right now (“I made the decision to spend time on my own and figure out who I am,” she declares, to the fascination of us all). So if you want to read snippets of that, then go here — or just pick up the mag and check out the full thing at the newsstand.
