Taylor Swift Raps Miley Cyrus on 60 Minutes: Here's Why (video)

TaylorSwift CMA05 Taylor Swift Raps Miley Cyrus on 60 Minutes: Here's Why (video) and Mily Cyrus are both country queens, with a little pop thrown in, but the similarities end there. Taylor makes that clear in an upcoming interview with ’s “60 Minutes.”

Swift paints herself as the anthesis of the free-spirted former Disney star.

The 21-year-old singer, who was just named “Entertainer of the Year” for the second time by the , is on top of her game, and she believes she is more than just a singer.

Cyrus says she never intended to be a role model, buk Swift actually embraces the concept. That’s why you’ll never seen Swift in barely there outfits or acting out in public, she says.

Well almost.

Despite Swift’s squeaky clean image, she and Miley share one thing in common. Both have been victims of Internet photo scandals.

Last month, a topless photo, purportedly of Swift hit the Internet. Although the resemblence was uncanny, Swift heatedly denied it was her.

Miley has been plagued by similar photo scandals at the hands of hackers, including her own nude photo hoax, last December.

But that’s where the similarities seem to end.

“I definitely think about a million people when I’m getting dressed in the morning and that’s just part of my life now,” Taylor tells the Leslie Stahl on news program, which airs this Sunday (Nov. 20).

And, here’s where she takes a shot at Miley.

“I think it’s my responsibility to know it and to be conscious of it. It would be really easy to say I’m 21 now, I do what I want. You raise your kids!” she continues.

“But it’s not the truth of it. The truth of it is- every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation.”

Wow, so repsonsible. Now here’s what Miley has to say:

“My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I’m still figuring that out for myself.

“So to take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That’s just life,” she told Harper’s Bazaar back in Jan. 2010.

Miley seems to have settled down a bit since she began dating actor Liam Hemsworth again, after breaking off an earlier relationship.

Miley also recently reached out to her some time rival and former Disney colleague Demi Lovato, defending her decision to gain weight after going through rehab.

Miley has also added a few pounds recently, but she says she is reveling in her newfound curves.

Swift wasn’t always the willowy, pretty girl she grew up to be, according to the news program.

At one point in her life, she tells Stahl, she wasn’t as slim as she wanted to be, nor had hair as straight as she would have liked. She also wore glasses.

“Criticism still hurts. I don’t have thick skin. I hate reading criticisms,” she says. “You never really, like, get past things hurting you.”

Miley would surely second those thoughts.

    I don’t understand Taylor Swift’s image or personality. I find it to rigid and limited. I doubt most kids will relate with Taylor Swift once they become socially active. Miley Cyrus, having experienced growing pains and mistakes, will become a better role model with the kids entering high school. The kids will rally around Miley because she’ll understand what they’re going through. Parents and politicians may find Taylor Swift more appropriate. My personal opinion, Miley makes a better role model. Since she’s reluctant, it makes her even more qualified in my book.

    Someone should do a story of what happend to Carrie Underwood? Was she just a FAKE country singer or what? She is doing nothing in country music the last 2 years!

  • sarah

    I don’t think it was a shot at Miley because many other singers have said the same thing i.e. Britney Spears, RIhanna, etc.

    I agree with Jack, Taylor has the “I’m perfect and never make mistakes” image, and I don’t think that’s what a true role model is. A role model makes mistakes but gets back up again. Nobody is perfect.

    for once people on the comment section are really talking right. Taylor sing songs about only love like its the only damn thing important while miley sings about love, nature, struggle, her happiness. Miley is definitely better. If my elder sister was “I am perfect” kind of and ppl kept comparing me wid her i would try to become everything she is not. and parents should let their kids explore all sides of life. Peace!

    Yes, it’s much better to “sleep” your way through life Taylor, and then make money writing winy songs about it, than to live life, and make mistakes and move on.
