"Fearless" singer Taylor Swift made the cover of People's "most intriguing1 of 2009," on a list that names mom-of-eight Kate Gosselin the "mother of all reality stars" and British singer Susan Boyle as "the surprise hit," the magazine said on Wednesday.
《人物》杂志评选的“2009年度最具看点明星于”本周三揭晓,专辑《无所畏惧》的女歌手泰勒•斯威夫特成为本期杂志的封面人物。此外,身为八个孩子的母亲凯特•戈斯林被评为“真人秀明星之母”,英国歌手苏珊•波伊尔获评“最令人惊叹明星”。

Oprah Winfrey, who announced she would end her influential2 TV talk show in 2011, was honored as "the departing diva歌剧中的首席女主角", Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as "the power pair" and President Barack Obama and wife Michelle as "the first couple."
The list is not ranked.
Swift, 20, whose country/pop crossover交叉,天桥 album is the biggest selling of 2009 and who won five American Music Awards and the coveted梦寐以求的,垂涎的 Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year, was named the "golden girl" in the People double-issue.
Swift said her success "feels like this ongoing4 dream," but told People she hoped to remain grounded.
"You can stay the same person, even if everything around you changes," she said, regarding her fame. "I would like to think everybody out there isn't just waiting for me to trip and fall and stumble蹒跚,绊倒 out of a club drunk. People know I'm not a party girl. I'm not hiding some dying urge to be out clubbing right now."
In a new category marking the fall of a number of male celebrities5 in 2009, golfer Tiger Woods, rapper Kanye West, singer Chris Brown, reality star Jon Gosselin, and TV talk show host David Letterman, who admitted having an affair with his staffer职员,编辑, were named "Men in the Doghouse失宠,丢脸."
Rihanna, who was attacked in February by then boyfriend Brown, was named the "resilient有弹力的 star" after a series of frank interviews in November and a new album.
Michael Jackson's three young children, suddenly thrust into the spotlight6 after the singer's death in June, were named "the descendants"; actor John Travolta "the heartbroken dad" after the death in January of his 16 year-old autistic孤僻的 son; and singer Lady Gaga the "shock star."
The special double-issue of People hits news stands on Friday.
