“All of us sitting there trying to figure out September covers, Deirdre was the only one who spoke up, and God bless [her] for thinking outside the box,” King said. The September cover art, which was created by digital portrait artist Alexis Franklin, features an illustrated rendition of a selfie taken by Taylor.
