This is so reminiscent of the books where Jenny tries to become a model like Serena and instead winds up in a Teen magazine piece about how girls with big boobs are uncomfortable about themselves and life in general (and had to pose in a sports bra and bike shorts with a big frown on her face to somehow demonstrate this point). Except this version of Jenny would be at the smaller boobed end of the spectrum and not frowning. (yes I like book Jenny better and yes, I have too much time on my hands)
I don't think she looks any more or less uncomfortable here than she always does. She has the same facial expression here that she wears on the carpet: "um, what? Um, am I, like, supposed to be doing something?" I'm not hating, I just recognise that look because when I was an awkward teen I looked like that in any less-than-comfortable situation. That being said, I would really like for her to wash her face. It's maddening, the universal eyeliner obsession for the 15-and under set. I did it too because I thought it made me look older. I refuse to wear it now and haven't for years because it makes me look cheap. No likey. Put the pencil down right now, madam.
If I were actually exercising in that much makeup--like, full-on cardio, sweating, raised heart rate, y'know, like I do--I'd be sliding around in a pile of makeup/sweat slurry to rival Exxon Valdez.
Sometimes when I'm waiting for a machine at the gym and I see girls like that who obviously don't work out and don't know what their doing (usually talking on a cell phone works into this ire) I get really grumpy. Hey "super lucky naturally thin without having to break yourself five times a week" girl, hang up your phone and hurry up already.
@wankster: Well you just know that they aren't working out. I'm sorry, but while I adore my hair down, it is a fucking oven in any temperature about 50 degrees or if I'm doing something other than flipping it around alluringly. She's probably focused on the spandex wedging its way into her vagina via those...leggings? to worry about the sweat pooling on her neck.
@wankster: I can't even work out with my hair in just a ponytail -- I have to ball it up into a knot and hold it up there with a scrunchie. I can't stand the swish-swish-swish of my ponytail against my neck.
Yes, I did say scrunchie, and no, I don't work out at a gym, b/c if I did, people might see me with a scrunchie. As long as I run on the sidewalk, passers-by can't get a good look at my face.
No girl who is at the gym to actually work out would wear all that jewelry. Once in a great while I forget to take off my wedding ring & it ends up driving me nuts. Ditto for makeup, just runs into your eyes.
According to this post, she appears to be a 15 year old girl - which thankfully she is. Though my parents would NEVER let me wear a sports bra and a belly button ring to work out (let alone GET a belly button ring). I mean, honestly, when you dress like this at 15, full-face of makeup, who are you attracting? Other 15 year olds? Not so much...
Prediction: She's going to be very Lindsay Lohan-esque if you catch my drift...
I have a friend who interns at Teen Vogue and she says yes, this was staged and blocked to high heaven. Taylor did not show up wearing those clothes and a stylist did her makeup.
@Jessi Ramsey: I want to know why Teen Vogue went out of their way to make her look sluty. She's only 15! My mother would have smacked the crap out of me for going anywhere in a sports bra, leather pants (how are they comfortable, ugh the sweat sticks to you), and lbs of make-up. Its a shame they didnt use the oportunity to make her look pretty lil-sisterish instead of the next Spear/Lohan. May my teens never be caught by me looking like this.

Meh. She may look cuter, but I'll live longer.
