Taylor Swift
On being a role model

"I definitely think about a million people when I am getting dressed in the morning," Taylor Swift tells Lesley Stahl in a profile that will air on 60 Minutes on Sunday night. "That's just part of my life now. I think it's my responsibility to know it and to be conscious of it." In this clip from the interview, Swift elaborates on her mission to set a good example for her young fans. "It would be really easy to say 'I'm 21 now, I do what I want. You raise your kids,'" she says. "But that's not the truth of it. The truth of it is that every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation, so make your words count."
