Taylor Swift on the cover of NME, October 2015.

Taylor Swift is on the cover of the new issue of NME...

Taylor on her online clash with Nicki Minaj: "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."

Taylor’s great Kanye/Beck anecdote: "Me and Kanye are on such good terms now, six years later. 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'."

Taylor on her plans for after her world tour ends in December: "I think I should take some time off. I think people might need a break from me. I'm going to... I don't know. Hang out with my friends. Write new music. Maybe not write new music. I don't know."
