The annual issue's cover girl was revealed late Wednesday on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon."


"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."

According to Forbes, the swimsuit issue has made more than $1 billion for Time Inc. since it became a stand-alone issue in 1997. The issue also accounts for 7% of SI's annual revenue and sells about a million copies on newsstands, more than any other issue of the magazine. 

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.
