Self Esteem has opened up about her Britney Spears-inspired cover shoot for NME.The artist, real name Rebecca Lucy Taylor, re-created Spears’ iconic 1999 Rolling Stone cover for this week’s NME‘s Big Read feature.Spears’ cover showed her lay on a pink sheet in her underwear, holding a phone in one hand and clutching a Tiny Winky Teletubby in the other.

In Taylor’s shoot, she is seen also on a pink sheet in her underwear, but with the added remnant of a meal deal around her and a Kermit the Frog.When asked about her motivations for the cover, Taylor said: “I want to show, really authentically, what I look like in bed”, saying that she wanted to give the cover a relatable, tongue-in-cheek twist.“The reality is that women don’t look like that.
