Taylor Momsen looks a little older than usual on the cover of Teen Vogue and the accompanying photo shoot!

Inside Taylor talks about being all grown up at the age of 16. Err. Okay.

On why she’s glad she didn’t end up being cast as Hannah Montana: “I think it’s a great opportunity for Miley [Cyrus], but yeah, I guess I am relieved [that I didn't get it]. If I had gotten the part, it would be a very different show. It wouldn’t have worked for me. I push back.”

(Oh yes, waiting for the Miley Cyrus fans to come out of the woodwork…)

On her new look: “I had long, pretty hair, and it didn’t fit me. I’m pretty, but I’m not, like, a “pretty girl.” So I pulled up a bunch of photos of Joan Jett and said, “Do that to my hair.” There was a distinct change in my wardrobe, too, and I know people were a little, um, taken aback. But it wasn’t me that changed—it was just that I decided to start being myself. Now I do my own makeup, my own hair, and dress myself, and it feels better.”

On dating older guys: “I’m not dating anyone right now, but I’ve had lots of relationships. My parents know that I’m not going to date someone who’s sixteen. Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is; there’s just no way. I would eat a boy my age alive.”
