Tonight, in this holiday season, an evening of music with three of the most talented and distinctive performers we have met in the past year on 60 minutes. All of them have stories to tell, as well as songs to sing. And we begin with adele. The 24yearold british singer is a Music Industry phenomenon that happens perhaps only once a generation. Adeles sophomore album has sold more than 25 million copies ten million in the United States alone and spent more weeks at number one than any album in nearly 20 years. Unlike most female singers of today, she is not selling herself with runway model looks or provocative clothes, and has no gimmicks added to her music. Her popularity is due simply to the strength of her voice, and the emotional connection so many people have to her music. But at the height of her albums success, vocal cord problems forced her to cancel dozens of concerts and threatened to end her young career. Earlier this year, when Anderson Cooper interviewed adele, she revealed how her voice is doing now, and how she is handling her sudden and very unconventional rise to fame. Adele singing rolling in the deep cooper adeles music is intensely personal. She sings almost exclusively about love and the men whose love shes lost. She wrote this song, rolling in the deep, heartbroken and angry the day after breaking up with her boyfriend. The song became the topselling single of 2011 and catapulted her to global stardom. Adele the kind of level of fame that im dealing with now, its obviously gotten bigger over the year, but it was overnight. Literally, on a flight to new york. I landed, and i seemed to be the most talkedabout artist in the world that day. Cooper whats that moment like . Adele i thought it was hilarious. laughs cooper hilarious . Adele i thought it was funny. I wanted to be a singer forever. But its not really my cup of tea, having the whole world know who you are. Cooper its not your cup of tea . Adele no. I find it quite difficult to think that theres, you know, about 20 Million People listening to my album that i wrote very selfishly to get over a breakup. I didnt write it being that its going to be a hit. Cooper you really wrote it to. To help you get over something . Adele yeah. So the fact that so many people are interested in that, and want to cry to it or want to feel strong to it or whatever, i find really. Its just little old me. Cooper theres nothing little about adeles voice or the emotion her songs convey. Last year, standing almost motionless center stage, she had londons Royal Albert Hall mesmerized. Adele set fire to the rain. Cooper this performance, which she considers one of the best of her career, was also one of her last. When did you first start to notice a problem in your voice . Adele a year ago, my voice went live on air, a radio show in paris, and. Cooper when you say it went, what do you mean . Adele it was literally like someone switched. Like a click off in my throat. And it just turned off, like someone pulled a curtain over my throat. But i sounded. Im not a soprano singer, but say if someones singing soprano. And then listen to a baritone singer. It sounded like that. My voice went. It was so much deeper. It was. Cooper and. And did you know something was happening . I mean, you must have known. Adele yeah, yeah. And i could feel it. It felt like something popped in my throat. Cooper it turned out she had a polyp in her vocal cords that had also hemorrhaged. Adele really, i should. I shouldve stopped singing for six months, really, and properly rested my voice. But its kind of impossible to do when youre in the eye of the storm. Cooper so you had to have surgery . Adele yeah. I had laser surgery, yeah. Cooper and what do they actually do . Adele put a laser down your throat, cut off the polyp, and kind of laser your hemorrhage back together and fix it. Cooper to help her heal, she was also ordered not to speak a word for more than a month. Thats got to be hard. Adele yeah. It was really hard. Cooper i sense you like to talk. Adele yeah, i love talking. laughter cooper so howd you communicate for five weeks . Adele by pad. I had a notepad. And i also had an application on my phone, and that you type the words into it and then it speaks it. But the great thing is i love to swear. Most of them, you cant swear on, but i found this one app where you can swear. So im still really getting my point across. The guy that this next songs about, not enough time has gone by since he was a bleep bleep to me. Cooper the swearing is back; so, too, the thick cockney accent. And her confidence in her singing voice has never been higher. Adele i cant remember a time where it felt so smooth to sing and not be paranoid on stage, you know. Cooper what do you mean . Adele i used to always wonder, will i hit that note . Even when i wasnt ill. Its basically a clean slate in my throat. And its just clear. Doesnt mean it would never happen again. If i decide to go on a 200date world tour, it would happen again. Cooper really . Adele yeah, it will. You know, just the exhaustion. Cooper hardly anyone has heard adele sing since the surgery, so sitting with her in a small london Recording Studio in january, we just couldnt resist. Can you sing a little someone like you or. . Adele i can do it a cappella. Cooper yeah . Sure. Adele im fine doing that, yeah. Never mind, ill find someone like you i wish nothin but the best for you, too dont forget me, i beg ill remember, you said sometimes, it lasts in love but sometimes, it hurts instead sometimes, it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead. Cooper someone like you has become another adele anthem, written about that same boyfriend who broke her heart. Adele never mind ill find someone like you i wish nothin but the best for you, too dont forget me, i beg ill remember, you said sometimes, it lasts in love but sometimes, it hurts instead sometimes, it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead. Cooper the song is incredibly sad, and her fans cry right along to it, so much so it became a running gag on saturday night live. And. Play. laughter laughter adele thats what i was doing when i was writing it. laughter cooper she can laugh about it now. She says she no longer feels the same way about the song or the guy she once did. Adele someone like you was about him getting engaged really quickly after we broke up. And. And i wrote that to feel better about myself, really, and it was about trying to convince myself that, oh, we will meet someone else and i will be happy. Cooper and you have met someone else . Adele yeah. Who is much better than him. laughter in fact, next time i sing someone like you, im going to be, like, never mind, i found someone, like you. Please forget me. Cooper she found simon konecki, a british entrepreneur who also runs a charitable foundation. So youre in love now . Adele yeah. Love it. Its great. Cooper your face lights up when you talk about it. Adele yeah. laughter cooper do you think you could write without having your heart broken . Adele well, i hope so, because im madly in love and i dont want to. I dont want to be like, babe, im sorry, weve got to break up. Ive got a new album to deliver. laughs hed bleep hate that. Also, i cant write another breakup record. That would be a real cliche. It would really be. It would be just like a boring running theme. I think people would be like, no, thats enough now. Cheer up. laughter for you too from my hometown from my hometown cooper she was born adele adkins in a working class section of north london. An only child raised by a single mom, she attended a high school for the performing arts and, just three days after graduating, was offered a recording contract. She was 18 years old. Cooper her debut album came out in 2008, and earned her two grammys, including best new artist. Should i give up or should i just keep chaseing pavements even if they lead nowhere cooper despite her success, she was concerned about losing touch with new music, so she did something unusual for a grammy winning artist. She got a parttime job sorting and labeling cds in the back of a record store. You started working here after your first album . Adele yeah, after the grammys. Cooper laughs after youd done the grammys . Adele yeah, yeah, i came and worked here for a little while. No one knows i did it here, no one knows. I just did it for myself. Cooper did they think it was odd that you. Adele yeah. Cooper . Came here to volunteer to work . Adele yeah, absolutely. Very much so. They were baffled by it. Cooper the other baffling thing about adele is that, despite being known for the power of her live concerts, in front of audiences, she experiences near crippling stage fright. So, how does it manifest itself . Adele it starts from the minute i wake up. If i know ive got a show, it starts. I mean, i just try and putter around and keep myself busy and stuff like that. And then i got to go down and sit in the chair for a couple hours, have my hair and makeup done. But it has gotten worse as im becoming more successful, my nerves, just because theres a bit more pressure and people are expecting a lot more from me. Cooper so whats that fear . Adele that im not going to deliver. Im not going to deliver. That im not going to. People arent going to enjoy it. Theyre. Theyre going to. That ill ruin their love for my songs by doing them live. I feel sick. I get a bit panicky. Cooper have you ever thrown up . Adele yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. A few times. Cooper really . Adele yeah. Projectile. Yeah. Because it just comes. It just comes out. It does. Cooper that kind of candid talk is typical adele. She is naturally generous with the details of her life. But her success is changing that. Fed up with paparazzi staking out her home in london, she rented this very large but very private home in the english countryside adele this here, this is just safety, this house. Come on, louie. Cooper thats why youre out here . Just because. For privacy . Adele yeah. Cooper shes learned about fame the hard way. In the past, too many personal details of her life ended up in the tabloid press. So she set traps to catch the sources. Adele i plant stories and see who leaks them, and then i get rid of them, yeah. Cooper really . So you would. You would tell them something that. Adele id tell, like, a group of people who i was suspicious of. laughs id tell them all a different story with different details in it, but all roughly the same story, so i could keep my eye on it. And then, when i knew it would come out, yeah, i knew who it was. Cooper thats kind of depressing. Adele yeah, it was still. Its quite fun, as well. laughter not firing people that you love, but yeah, its necessary. Cooper inside the rented mansion, there are ten bedrooms nine more than she needs and almost no furniture. Adele this is. This house is a bit of a cliche, really. This bits all quite scary, really. It was a convent for a little while. Cooper ever seen the shining . Adele all work and no play. And then, this is the pool. Cooper wow. Adele do you have a pool . Cooper uh. No. Adele so these wings. laughs these wings that way and that way is empty, really. There a couple of spare bedrooms around there, and this is my suite. Cooper i love what youve done with the place. Adele ive been busy. Cooper shes about to get a lot busier. Now that her voice has healed, demand for her to tour has never been higher. Did you ever feel pressure to, well, i got to look a certain way, i have to. Adele no, never. Ive never seen magazine covers and seen music videos and been, like, i need to look like that if i want to be a success. Never. I dont want to be some skinny mini with my bleep out. I really dont want to do it. laughs and i dont want people confusing what it is that im about. singing rumor has it im not shocking. I just stand there and sing. And i dont do stunts or anything. Cooper but i think thats one of the. The things that is so remarkable about your success, and is that youre kind of the antipop star. I mean, youre not. Adele no, i am. Cooper you know what i mean. I mean, there. There arent any gimmicks. Its basically the power of. Of your voice and. And what youre singing. Adele if i wanted to do all that, i dont think id get away with it. I. I just. I dont think people would believe me. Cooper but in your songs, i think people believe that you have experienced what youre singing about. I think that comes through. Adele im just writing love songs. Im not trying to be pop. Im not trying to be jazz. Im not trying to be anything. Im just writing love songs. And everyone loves a love song.

He was born poor in detroit and spent his life poor in detroit. In the late 60s, he cut a couple of records, and they got great reviews but went nowhere. What he didnt know, what no one in america knew, was that halfway around the world in south africa, he was more popular than elvis or the beatles. Hed never been there, and no one there knew anything about him. Even when word spread that he had died, his records continued to sell. Then, four years ago, a young swedish filmmaker heard about rodriguez, and decided to shoot a documentary about him. As bob simon discovered, the film is now captivating audiences across the country, and has been shortlisted for an academy award. Its released by Sony Pictures classics and its called searching for sugar man. Sugar man wont you help me because im tired of these scenes simon the film shows rodriguezs Old Neighborhood in downtown detroit and the smoky bar where, back in the late 60s, he was discovered by dennis coffey, a legendary motown producer. Dennis coffey we thought he was like the inner city poet, you know, putting his poems to music of what he saw. And it was definitely a very gritty look at what he saw on the streets of detroit. The only writer that i had heard of of that time period was maybe bob dylan, that was writing that well. Lost my heart when i found it simon coffey coproduced his first album, cold fact. Critics liked it, but it bombed. Steve rowland was responsible for his second. It did no better. Steve rowland nobody in america had even heard of him. Nobody. Nobody even was interested in listening to him. How can that be . How can that be . Simon and how could it be that no one in america knew that rodriguez had become an icon in south africa . Steve segerman owns a record store in cape town. Steve segerman to many of us South Africans, he was the soundtrack to our lives. If you walked into a random white, liberal, middleclass household that had a turntable and a pile of pop records, you would always see cold fact by rodriguez. To us, it was one of the most famous records of all time. Simon it was the 1970s, and under apartheid, political repression was at its height. Rodriguezs lyrics resonated with people whod had it with the system. Rodriguez the mayor hides the crime rate councilwoman hesitates public gets irate, but forgets the vote date this systems going to fall soon to an angry young tune and thats a concrete cold fact. Segerman we didnt know what the word antiestablishment was until it cropped up on a rodriguez song. And then, we found out its okay to protest against your society, to be angry with your society. Simon South Africans were buying half a million of his records, and were astonished to learn that no one else in the world had ever heard of him. He was the ultimate enigma. Segerman then we found out that he had committed suicide. He set himself alight on stage and burnt to death in front of the audience. It was probably the most grotesque suicide in rock history. Simon but there was no proof, so Record Store Owner segerman and his friends started investigating. 25 years after hearing those records, they spotted the word dearborn in one of his songs. Dearborn is near detroit. And, as the film shows, thats where they found rodriguezs house. And there he was, very much alive. His neighbors knew him as an odd character who walked around with a guitar. He was this Wandering Spirit around. Around the city. You know, detroits got its share of burnedout, desolate areas, and i would. I would occasionally see him. I thought he was just a. I. Just not much more than a kind of a homeless person. Simon but he wasnt homeless. He was the son of an immigrant worker from mexico. Hed lived in this house with a wood burning stove for 40 years. And all this time, he had been working as a day laborer demolition, roofing, heavy construction. He also managed to get a degree in philosophy. Rodriguez didnt know his records had been selling like wildfire in south africa. Hed never seen a penny. Then, in 1998, his fans invited him to tour south africa. He and his three daughters had no idea limos would be waiting for them at the airport. Regan is his youngest daughter. Regan rodriguez i only assumed the limousines were for some dignitary or celebrity, someone that we should stay out of the way of. But instead, they were for my father. cheers and applause simon regan said she expected 20, maybe 30 people to show up at his concert. There were 5,000. And when rodriguez stepped out onto the stage, they wouldnt let him start singing, not for ten minutes. cheers and applause Regan Rodriguez for them to see him, when they thought he had died, it was like they had a chance to see some type of resurrection. cheers and applause rodriguez thanks for keeping me alive. Simon the beatles and the stones had played to crazed houses, too. But to these people, rodriguez was like lazarus he had risen from the dead. The concert wasnt just a success, it was a miracle. Regan rodriguez looking out in the crowd, people were singing every note, every song, every word. I wonder wonder i do simon in south africa, rodriguez finally got the adulation hed never received at home. cheers and applause but when he got home to detroit, it was as if none of it had ever happened. He went back to doing what hed been doing all his life. When we met him in september, he was unlike any rock star wed ever met humble, unassuming, okay with working for a living. When. When both of your records bombed commercially, how shaken were you . Rodriguez oh, i was. Bob simon, i was too disappointed to be disappointed. Simon people in south africa said that your music was the soundtrack of their youth. Rodriguez oh, yeah. Ah, well, the. Well, that was. Obviously, it. They picked up on my stuff, yeah, yeah. Simon they picked up on your stuff. Come on, its a lot more than that. Rodriguez jeez, listen to this guy. laughs go ahead, im listening. Simon i mean, thats a remarkable thing to say, that your music was the soundtrack of their youth. Rodriguez oh, i. Its. Its quite an honor that they picked my stuff up, yeah. I owe south africa, for sure. Simon and what about all those years of backbreaking labor . Was that hard on you . Rodriguez did. Well, physically, its hard, but its. Theres no shame in hard work. Simon you say theres. You say theres no shame in hard work. Rodriguez yes, sir. Simon i think you also said theres no shame in being poor. Rodriguez thats right. And poor doesnt mean dirty and poor doesnt mean stupid and poor does not mean mean. Simon poverty and dignity. That was the end of his story. Except it wasnt. Another twist of fate was coming his way. Firsttime swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul was travelling around the world looking for a story to film. When he got to cape town, he heard about rodriguez. Malik bendjelloul this might be one of the best stories i ever heard. It was like cinderella or. Or Sleeping Beauty or Something Like that. I. I never heard a story in my life that was so close to one of those classic fairytales, and had such a wonderful soundtrack, too. You know, it was just. I was just. I just fell in love with this story. Simon he then edited the film himself, composed the soundtrack himself, drew the animation himself. And then, after four years, he gave up. Bendjelloul i was 90 finished. I. I realized, i cant continue because i need food. My clothes had, like, holes under the arms, and i couldnt afford to buy new ones. I. I needed work. Simon while you were making a film about a poor man, you became poor . Bendjelloul i became one myself. I did, yeah. I did, thats true. Simon eventually, he found producers who submitted his unfinished film to the Sundance Film Festival in utah. They not only accepted it, they decided to open the festival with it. Since hitting the theaters, it has become something of a phenomenon. And rodriguez has been resurrected once again. One of his first miraculous appearances, the David Letterman show. playing crucify your mind it made you pay the cost and theres a big loss simon and now, a soldout tour across america. Here he is at the highline ballroom in new york city. It was as if hed never left the stage. cheers and applause rodriguez i love when they scream. Is there anybody here from detroit . applause my deepest condolences. laughter simon he didnt mean it, of course. And his real homecoming happened at the kind of detroit joint which was in his genes. Rodriguez hey, youngbloods. I want to say hello, man. Youre very inspiring. Rodriguez whats your name . Charlie. Im so excited to see you. Awesome to meet you, man. Thrilling. Yes. A picture, too. Rodriguez you better hurry. Because were so excited. Rodriguez me, too. Simon and hed been in their midst all the time. But it took 40 years for them to discover who he really was. Rodriguez is 70 now and needs a little help walking. He can barely see. The world can see and hear him today as the great songwriter hes always been. But theres still one abiding mystery. Why do you think its taken 40 years . Rodriguez well, i. I just wasnt meant to be so lucky then, you know. I think maybe thats it. Simon you know, when you left here before the film was made, you were rodriguez living in downtown detroit. Now, youre rodriguez, superstar. Rodriguez oh. Simon it has a ring to it, rodriguez superstar. Rodriguez oh, no. This. Well, thats nice of you to say that. Its superlatives they use. But i. Were having a good year, of course. Simon a good year and, at last, some money. Regan rodriguez hes a giving person with money. Hes not a selfish person. And in fact, i think it could benefit him in a way of just being able to give it away. That alone will make him feel so good. Simon you dont think hes going to go out there and buy a ferrari . Regan rodriguez laughs i dont see him buying a ferrari. I think. If anything, im hoping hell get a new pair of glasses.

Well, today, that girl is as big as it gets. She has sold more albums in the u. S. Over those six years than any other artist in any genre. Her latest album, red, sold more copies in its first week than any album in more than a decade. Taylor swifts has been a meteoric rise. She seems to know, even at a young age, just the right notes to hit in her songwriting, and in her business. In an era of declining record sales, taylor swift appeals to people who still pay a lot for music, girls and their moms. Shes held onto her country fans even as shes gotten huge in pop. And then theres her image lots of publicity about her shortlived, highprofile romances, but never a drunken rampage, a public outburst, or a scandalous photo. We caught up with her late last year on the road for her speak now tour. cheers and applause take a look at the crowd at the Staples Center in los angeles, where taylor swift sold out four shows within minutes. Taylor swift well, good evening, los angeles fans screaming stahl the decibel level here reminds you of the beatles. Its almost as if shes their spiritual leader, with her message that you can be a good girl, a nice person, and still have fun. Taylor swift writes her own songs, about love and heartbreak and being the ordinary girl next door. Shes been called the poet laureate of puberty. What youre looking for has been here the whole time if you could see that im the one who understands you are they great songs, in your opinion . We spoke to bill werde, editorial director of billboard. Bill werde maybe if she looked different, like, lets say she wasnt young and cute. I think people would be talking about her as a great songwriter. Stahl so, you think that the persona and the fan base and all that almost diminishes. Werde yeah, i definitely think it does. You know, i think that its hard for critics to look at an arena full of screaming 12yearold girls and say, this is really credible songwriting. Stahl but you say it . Werde oh, absolutely. Yeah, no doubt. Stahl all taylor swifts songs are autobiographical. Love story grew out of a teenage argument she had with her parents over a boy. They thought he was a creep. Swift and he was, but i, at the time, just thought he was amazing. Stahl she started thinking shakespeare. Swift and i got this pre chorus in my head that said, you were romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said stay away from juliet. stahl she raced in to work out the chords on her bedroom floor. Swift maybe its. You were romeo, and youre just like, oh, okay, well, thats that. You were romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said stay away from juliet. I had to fight for that song, because when i first played it for, you know, my family, a few people, they were just sort of like, eh. Stahl but you believed in it. You trust yourself. Swift yeah, its almost more fun that way when. When you have something to prove. Stahl love story went to number one on both billboards country and pop songs charts, the first song ever to do that. Proving doubters wrong is a big theme in the tale of taylor swift. She started singing when she was still a toddler. She fell in love with Country Music, and not as a coal miners daughter from kentucky. Shes a stockbrokers daughter from wyamissing, pennsylvania, who, at age ten, began nagging her parents to take her to the mecca of Country Music. Swift it was just on repeat, just like a loop, constantly. Like, how about we go to nashville . Can we go to nashville . Can i take a trip to nashville . Hey, so i looked up this tourist brochure about nashville. Can we go see nashville . Stahl spring break 2001, they finally gave in and headed to mecca, says her mother andrea. Andrea swift we started driving up and down music row. And at that point, she would say, mom, mom, pull over. Thats mercury records. Let me out. Stahl she was 11, toting cds of herself singing karoake songs. And shed run in . Andrea swift she would walk up to the receptionist and hand them a demo cd, and say, hi, im taylor. Im 11. I want a record deal. Call me. Stahl anyone call . Andrea swift no. Sadly, no. laughter stahl she spent the next few years performing every chance she got, even in a bar when she was 13. Taylor swift i remember there was all these, like, rock nroll dudes and, like, biker guys. And im like, this is a song that i wrote about the guy who sits next to me in class. And it was just like. laughs you know, sometimes i ended up in the wrong venue. But it was still. It was learning to talk to a crowd, regardless of whether it was the crowd thats going to be most susceptible to liking your music. Stahl somebody at rca records liked her music and offered her a oneyear development deal. Thats when the swifts moved to nashville. Taylor was finally where she belonged. Or so she thought. Taylor swift i would go and turn in songs, and more and more, i would just get suggestions that i write. That i sing other peoples songs. And, you know, i just didnt want to. Andrea swift and at that point, she said, my contracts coming up, mom. I need to just walk. And i thought, youre kidding. Stahl how gutsy was that for a 14yearold . Scott borchetta gutsy . No. How about unheard of . Stahl Scott Borchetta was an executive at another label. Borchetta you dont have artists walking out of one of the Biggest Record companies and saying, you know what . I dont think i need another year of development. Im going to go. All right. Stahl she did it, though. Borchetta she absolutely did it, at 14. Stahl borchetta heard taylor, liked her songs, and offered to sign her as his first artist on a new label he was starting. She took the risk and it paid off. Borchetta as of this week, speak now has sold five million copies worldwide. cheers and applause stahl speak now is her third multiplatinum album, and shes been on a worldwide 76 city tour to promote it. The show is an extravaganza, with aerialists and fireworks on stage. And frantic darting about below, as taylor runs in and out of quickchange rooms, and braces herself inside this glass contraption, preparing to be tossed in the air. Taylor swift im praying that im not going to break my leg. Im like, dear god, im very clumsy. Im not a gymnast, im not graceful. Please dont let me break my leg. Thats whats going on. cheers and applause stahl like bigtime musicians today, taylor makes a bundle on her tours. Shes become a brand, with merch, as they say, like tshirts and show programs; product endorsements, like for cover girl. She even owns her own buses. Taylor swift is big, big business.

Borchetta taylor swift is a major corporation. Stahl and whos at the helm . Look who we found running the management meeting. Taylor swift its like they messed with the color. Stahl unlike other stars of her caliber who sign up with management companies, taylor created her own. As c. E. O. , she manages herself. Taylor swift its fine, just because its subtle. Stahl but its taylors way of tirelessly courting her fans that may be the key to her success. Remarkably, she spends an hour before every show meeting and greeting and charming. Taylor swift do you think it would be okay if i got a picture with you . Stahl and shes orchestrated her concerts, too, to get as close to her fans as any performer weve ever seen halfway through the show, she walks through the audience and sings three songs to the people in the back. All while members of her team search the crowd for the most enthusiastic fans and reward them with gold an invitation to hang out with taylor after the show. screaming stahl then, taylor heads back to the stage through the crowd, touching and hugging all over again. And when the crowd roars, her expression of awe, again and again, can be, well, hard to believe. Are you really surprised, or are you just kind of putting it on . Taylor swift im really surprised every time i see a crowd like that, because i never thought id get to play to a crowd like that. Stahl so when you go. Its real .

But the few setbacks in her meteoric career have come, ironically, on award nights, as when kanye west grabbed the mike from her. And the time she sang a live duet with stevie nicks at the grammys offkey. One nasty review said she had killed her career overnight, and was too young and dumb to understand the mistake shed made. Taylor swift the things that were said about me by this dude floored me and, like, leveled me. And i. I dont have thick skin. I hate reading criticisms. You never really, like, get past things hurting you. Stahl but then, taylor did her thing and turned the wound into a song. Stahl the hit single mean. And in the music video, taylor broadened it beyond herself to a boy in a locker room reading a fashion magazine, a girl who shows up wearing something different. The song has taken on a life of its own a sort of anti bullying, antimeanness anthem. Theres a deep, deep connection here. As one of her fans told us, taylor lets us know its okay to be ourselves. Say yes and all youre evero be is mean Scott Borchetta says shes a cultural leader and she knows it. Taylor swift well, i definitely think about a Million People when im getting dressed in the morning. And thats just part of my life now and. Stahl youre a role model and you know it.
