aw shucks! can nylon usa have her as the cover girl too? :)

Tony

I like her, and the shoot looks fantastic (outtakes, please?), but she comes off a little pretentious. That being said, I think she's a wonderful performer and I will be first in line to purchase TPR's debut.

I love this! i wish you guys could tell us what eye makeup she's wearing =o/

Yeah man, keep it "real" with your Chanel clothes. What a complete poseur majeure.

shes such a poser and a try hard. shes changed, for the worst, since her interview last year about paranoid park.

TOMAS

and just the way she is. it feels so forced!

i just feel bad for her. shes appears to be the run of the mill insecure teenager, attempting to figure out who or what she is. but shes trying so hard to be "rock" and cool that it kind of makes my skin crawl. im excited to see her when she grows up a bit.

Maya

She is 16 and has a tattoo? Seriously? People seem to forget she's just a child that other children look up to.

kat

11/21/2009


she may be 'just a child', but as far as other children looking up to her..well, I don't think starring on a racy show such as gossip girl is a children's show, therefore she doesn't seem to be setting herself up as a children's role model.

Kim

11/21/2009


She is who she is. I'm just her age and do I think she's any worse than us? No. I don't at all. No, five year old girls do not look up to a Gossip Girl actress as far as my opinion goes. I think she's so different from most teenage actresses, and that's why everyone's so hard on her. No, she is not going to wear Sunday School clothes to please all of you. She is going to be the way she wants to regardless of the stereotype you people have of teenagers so give her a break for once.

i really haven't been following her career or anything, but all i know is everytime i see a pic of her in a mag or something ... i just want her clothes... i like her style a lot... and if nylon could get her on the cover i could know her better too=]

Honey

11/22/2009


Awww Maya. I feel bad cause I sense that you're hating a little bit. i got my first tattoo at 16. I think you're a lil' jealous cuz your parents didn't let you :-(.

i love momsen no matter what!! she's cool... she should grace the cover with her band xD THE PRETTY RECKLESS

SCARLETT

11/22/2009


"I believe in rock-n-roll" haha thatz not cliche at all little j...i cnt stand her its really forced and this interview is hard to watch becuz she seems kind of a manufactured version of something authentic..terrible...but her music is surprising AMAZING and so is her voice..shame really wat a waste

cj

11/22/2009


I WANT HER ON THE COVER!!! DO IT :D

Eri

Weird..... earlier today, I saw this NYLON at the Kino near my house (and leafed through it but I lacked the funds to take it home with me), and I check the website, and here she is ^^ I love Taylor Momesen, and her pretty clothes~

seems like a poser but still, love her as an actress and think she is very talented. I hope this new fame won't seep into her pretty little head anymore than it already has.

Marina

11/23/2009


I thought she would be kind of cool but why does she come off so... pretentious, arrogant, and just a bit bitchy? she wants to be all rock and roll and keepin' it real but i think she's looking at all of that the wrong way.

ElizabethStone

11/23/2009


You took the words out of my mouth, taylor momsen is so pretentious and pompous it drives me, as a 17-year-old girl, crazy. She thinks she is so much wiser then all of the other girls her age, but seriously? You play a "queen bitch" on T.V. She seriously needs to check in with her Cindy LooHoo roots.

Anne

11/24/2009


She looks stunning! Too bad there aren't any outtakes of this photoshoot available yet. I can't wait to see them! Someone should put them up.

Alyssa

11/24/2009


to elizabethstone^ : couldn't have said it better myself. anyone who thinks she ISN'T pretentious, read her teenvogue interview, sept.09. too bad she does dress awesome...and her music doesn't suck.

Nicole W.

11/25/2009


Omg, NYLON can you PLEASE tell me where her mouse ring is from??? Is it Marc by Marc Jacobs? I MUST have it!

Kayla Tea

11/25/2009


I hope the rest of the band quits her, yes she has a good voice but she comes off awfully arrogant. Her tattoo has no meaning behind it, I'll bet she'll end up regretting it if she ever GROWS UP. The 16 year olds that looks up to her are just as bad as the ones who look up to Miley Cyrus. Her style and attitude does seem forced. I hope this pretty girl can grow up and learn to be herself, because clearly she has no idea who she is yet.

Shlee

11/25/2009


Of course she loves Pink Floyd -.- But overall I like her style - a lot.

Ciara

11/25/2009


I don't really like her If I'm honest. To me she just comes across as a try hard. I think she thinks she's unique, but she obviously isn't. In real life I don't think I would warm to her as she comes across as bitchy...with a forced husky voice !!! :)

hannah

11/25/2009


Uhhhh. She looks absolutely amazing, it's such a shame. Her name should be Taylor pompousen.

Lulu goes to the hospital

11/25/2009


she's only 16??? wow, i can forgive her insecurities etc based on that... and she does make me wana bleach my hair.

christina

11/25/2009


dont judge. i dont know if shes real or not. you dont know either. dont say she's pretentious if you havent met her. shes doing her thing and at this age she has her own band and she plays in one of the most popular tvshows ever. you're all just so jealous of her. jeez.

?

11/25/2009


BAD MAKEUP ITS TOO OLD FOR HER!!

I looove taylor momsen

isabelle

11/26/2009


She seems a bit pretentious, but who wasn't when they were a teenager? She has a great sense of style, too.

Ian

11/26/2009


Taylor I love your style and your look, you have a great taste for eclectic-ness, keep up the awesome work!

samia

11/26/2009


i mean she does look awesome in the shoot, but other than that she comes across as really fake and lame ahahah. shes all about "ROCK N ROLL", who honestly says that. everything is so-so forced. some of you are saying that because shes sixteen and doesnt know any better, this is ok but actually i think she SHOULD be having even MORE fun than all the rest and try being truly genuine. has potential, but stick with nylon japan.

Taylor tried out for the role of cherie currie in the upcoming "runaways' movie. She didn't get the part & now walks around in cherie's garter belt style { which cherie barely got away with back then}. She's also using old Joan jett qoutes about being 'all about rock n roll'. The difference is Joan jett {who was 15 when she formed the Runaways almost 35 yrs ago} is a REAL role model! Taylor just wants to act like she's ahead of the trend before the runaways movie comes out & every 16 year old wants to look or be like Joan Jett! Mark my words.

LO

11/28/2009


nylon, please dont put her as a cover. i can barley stand you guys featuring her in the magazine. i like it when you show people are effortlessly cool. not this forced "teen rocker".

Danielle

11/28/2009


Taylor is adorable. She's a 16 year old girl people. When I was 16 I was still coming into my own, trying to figure out what the eff I was into/wanted to be. She's doing just that, in my opinion. Watch, she'll change even more and prob settle into her true self in a few years. Let her experiment with her style and life. Calm down people.

Cassandra

omg I love her and her style so much. Put her on a USA cover.

urmm, you've put "pretty reckless - blender" as one of the featured songs.. but it's actually "zombie" that plays.

.....really?

11/30/2009


Wow. Taylor may look great in the shoot (I'm sure the credit goes to a wonderful stylist and makeup artist) but she is so pretentious. Her holier than thou attitude is annoying and her attempt at embodying the rocker cool is just lame. She tries to act older than she is, but as soon as she opens her mouth, all that comes out is a mess of cliches from a bratty teenager. Please, don't put on the the nylon US cover.

Betsy-Belle

I adore her! She is so beautiful and has a marvelous clothing style. I tried seeing her perform with her band when they were performing at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, but the tickets were sold out. I guess I'll try to see them next time they go on tour. I can't wait until then. I'm so excited for their album to come out!

Beth

12/02/2009


oh she's totally being natural and real when she says "it's rock maaaan" (she said the same exact quote on 'it's on with alexa chung')

dannng why is everyone hating? she's young, she's like 16. AND SHE IS SO GORGEOUS!! i love her makeup hair clothes.

To be honest, I don't have a problem with her but I will say that when she said TPR was pretty much her and followed at the end saying she plays a little guitar it sounded absolutely conceited and contradictory. To say that a band is pretty much you means there is no band. That is the first taste of Taylor Momsen that I happened to not like.

Your Mom

12/06/2009


Head to toe TopShop like so many others. How inspirational......NOT!

Cortney Renee

12/08/2009


she's adorble, stop being meanies!

elena van der milt

she looks sooo great. i'm sure she will be a big thing. i think she's the most amazing and inspirational star in her age!

widy

12/08/2009


she's rock! i'm in the same age with her. and i think in my age i will try to find everything that comfort me. and i think taylor already success to do that.

love her style!

POSER

12/09/2009


SHE IS SUCH A POSER "I believe in rock and roll" well she represents everything anti rock and roll, she is commercial, stereotypical and full of herself. If she was a true artist she would play more instruments then "a little bit a guitar". But what she really is, is a bad frontwoman who wears skimpy clothes and writes bad lyrics. The fact that she even considers her music to be even near rock is appalling. All she'll ever be is "little j" on gossip girl.

Mia

12/11/2009


I don't like her. The only thing she's ever called her music is "rock 'n' roll, man". She seems like an actress trying to be a rockstar. No thanks, rock doesn't need to be "brought back"(another quote from her) by a snobby, try-hard, stereo typical teenage attention whore.

deee

12/12/2009


maybe all of the negative comments should just lay the fuck off. she's not an attention whore or poser. you're probably just bitter because she's more hardcore than you. looks like some of you losers need to grow up & stop ragging on her. she's awesome & you guys are extremely mad. get the fuck over it. thanks.

dfgdfg

12/16/2009


bleeeurrrgh enough of her already! i say this without a hint of jealousy: she is really uncool and pretentious. previous commenters have already pointed it out but she is so far from 'rock n roll man'... LAME!

lin

12/18/2009


I LOVE HER I LOVE THE PICTURES

Alice

12/28/2009


@DEEE Your comment made me laugh. Hardcore? What the hell? How is she hardcore? You sound like an idiot. Thanks.

lauren

great style.Adore.

LILLY

02/08/2010


horrible. she wants to be original but shes duplicate of cherie currie. this makes me sad, i used to like her. dumb dumb dumb.

Madonna

03/06/2010


Wow I just read through many comments and I never saw so many judgmental comments in my life. As far as being "pretentious" no one considers that this girl, being in the industry at a young age, was forced to grow up faster than the typical teen who doesn't WORK or have a career at say 8 years old. Of course she's gonna "act" like a 20 something year old because as far as I'm concerned, she's farther along than maybe 90% of us will ever be at that age. Her taste is music/style is beyond her age....her opinion on boys is beyond those silly teen opinions...and she is very focused. She is a role model believe it or not for me and I'm older than her (20 years old).

Vilde

06/15/2010


She is awsome. But I just gotta ask, why does everyone that doesn't like her even bother writing a comment? I think her music is cool and if you don't back off.

Carly

06/15/2010


You're all just haters and need to stop being such losers. Please, even a child nows she's the best. You can ask my 11-year-old brother

Amber

06/16/2010


Well it IS pretty much her band. Her music is awesome my sister who's the same age as her absolutely loves her & her character on GG. & so do i. I think she's very mature for her age plus she can dress how ever she wants it's a free country. just cause she does alt rock/grunge doesn't mean she can't wear Chanel & etc. She's being herself. my god just leave her alone! even if she comes off as 'bitchy' in an interview doesn't mean she's like that in real life. Hell even if she is she's still kick-ass :)

Lex

07/05/2010


I don't think she knows exactly who she is just yet, heck does anybody at that age? She does have decent talent though I give her props for that. I do believe she hides behind all that make up, I'm sure as she matures this "rocker" phase will pass on. I wish the best for her though X)

Meghan

07/24/2010


she just took credit for her entire band......

kate

LOVE her lipstick! anyone know what brand/ shade?

As you all know...... I hate Racoons they spoil my idea of christmas... They carry diseases roll in thier own feaces and leave thier "scent" wherever it will create the biggest stink.... Why not put this vapid socially inept oxygen thief in coal sack along with "Leeches" Geldof, add a breezeblock, better still two it`s worth that xtra effort and throw them in the nearest deep well and then apply clenched fists to each other faces instead each others backdoors as though it`s some faggoty secret hand gesture like the freakmasons. And lastly please stop printing this magazine on that glossy paper! it`s cutting my arse cheeks to ribbons, and it`s not very absorbent, last night I had to use the Cover page as a Squeegy after digesting something that didnt agree with me.... a Peaches Geldof article I know, i should know better, I felt like a cat that had been shoved into an old wellington boot but instead of a worming tablet I was being spoonfed watery fermented second hand diaorreah and having my throat massaged to help me fight that usual gag reflex that always accompanies the intense migraines and screaming fits followed by... well as always thank god I blackout... then the stomach cramps snap me out of it and its time to read the next paragraph, I know I`m an addict, Peaches is my heroin oops I forgot the "e"... my bad lets hope she didnt notice my typo as u need her lucid whenever she is hard at work pretending to be a real journalist with abilties to create articles and ideas of her own that are not pretentious self - important ill informed badly judged and socially crippled for the first time in her tiny little bubble she seem to exist in... It`s like watching a mentally challenged one handed tree sloth attempt to juggle one ball on a 2 Inch string of elastic so supposedly it cant possibly get it wrong. But once again they forget just how lazy and unwilling to make an effort it has evolved to be... It usually lifts one of its eyelids, yawns and then has to have yet another daytime nap, but its okay.. its not like it was anything important... her keeper will sort it all out by the time she`s ready to be carried to her next assignment or maybe as usual that will be brought to her as well.. PS. Is it it true that she was the one New Yorker who wasnt woken by the 9/11 attacks??

Lola

She really changed since that Shake'n' Bake commercial but now she is who she wants to be and believe in it.

Annie

I totally agree with Lola!! She changed since the Ginch too !!
