Taylor Swift Is ‘Raising the Next Generation’ With Her Songs

She's a 21-year-old multi-millionaire with worldwide fame and dozens of major awards, but Taylor Swift isn't resting on her laurels. Instead, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year is focused on making sure the fans, who helped surge her album sales to more than 20 million so far, are hearing positive messages in her tunes.

"I definitely think about a million people when I'm getting dressed in the morning, and that's just part of my life now," she tells CBS' Lesley Stahl on an upcoming '60 Minutes' episode. "I think it's my responsibility to know it and be conscious of it. It would be really easy to say, 'I'm 21 now. I do what I want. You raise your kids,' but it'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."

The Pennsylvania native has played to sold-out crowds all over the globe and is easily one of the most famous faces in pop culture today. But while her international appeal might cause some celebrities to hide from the public eye, Taylor is happy to embrace her fame.

"When you spend so much time daydreaming about things like [this], when that actually happens, you don't ever complain," she explains to The Boot. "When I go to a restaurant, do I know a line will form at the table? But didn't I always wish for that? Yeah, I did. So I never want to be the girl who wanted something so bad her whole life and then when she gets it, she complains about it. I'm not gonna be that girl."

The songbird released three new digital tracks earlier this week, 'If This Was a Movie,' 'Superman' and 'Ours,' which resulted in early sales of more than 545,000 tracks. She will be featured on '60 Minutes' this Sunday, Nov. 20, at 7:00 PM ET.

Taylor has three more shows slated for the 2011 leg of her Speak Now tour, before she will take a few months off. She'll hit the road again in February, with shows in Australia and New Zealand. See her tour schedule here.
