This year’s Maxim Hot 100 is out, and for the first time ever, readers were allowed to weigh in on who they thought should make the list.
Country music has its share of ladies who are easy on the eyes, but only three made the self-proclaimed “definitive list of the world’s most beautiful women.”
Taylor Swift comes in at number 26. She’s in front of singer/actress/dancer/Ryan Seacrest leading lady Julianne Hough, at number 47, and American Idol alum/now vegetarian Kellie Pickler, who is number 72.
Taylor and Julianne are no strangers to the list, both making appearances for five years straight now. And of course, the list is rounded out with the usual suspects, including Megan Fox, Jessica Biel, Avengers star Scarlett Johansson, and a slew of Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit models.
There are also a few surprises landing on the list this year, including cartoon character Lois Griffin, acquitted murder suspect Amanda Knox, and Stephen Colbert. Wait, what? Yeah, Stephen makes an impressive showing, landing at number 69.
Model Bar Refaeli is at number one this year.
