It's official: 24-year-old model Hannah Davis (aka Derek Jeter's girlfriend) landed the highly coveted cover of this year's Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition.
Davis posted the good news (and risqué cover) to her Instagram account with the caption: "Thank you to my @si_swimsuit and@imgmodels family! I am honored to be your 2015 cover girl! Wow!!"
"I told my mom there was no way I'd get the cover," a surprised Davis told Sports Illustrated after the big reveal. "I told her, 'They do beaches for covers and I'm on a farm. There's no way. It's not possible.'"
"I've always enjoyed the whole Swimsuit experience, and said that anything extra — a little square on the cover or anything like that — was a bonus," Davis added. "But still, this was my dream."

For Sports Illustrated's 50th anniversary last year, the magazine chose a cover with three models. Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal, and Lily Aldridge all made the cover.
Teigen tweeted late Wednesday after the Davis announcement:
