It's Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Tracy Smith.

Shake It Off was a number one hit for Taylor Swift back in 2014,

but she's hardly resting on her laurels.

Her hot new album is just one of the things we talked about

when we visited her home in Nashville for our Sunday profile.

You might say this is Taylor Swift's happy place at the piano in her Nashville home.

There have been so many songs I've written at this piano.

And it's off in the middle of the night?

It's usually in the middle of the night.

Or if I'm trying to get to sleep and I can't and then I get an idea,

I'm like, well, I'm not tired anyway.

And then kind of wander over here.

This is kind of a rare sight,

not just because we were there.

Haven't serenaded someone in a while.

Hope you know that.

But because, for the moment,

she was actually sitting still.

I promise that you'll never find another like me.

And there never really has been another like Taylor Swift.

And you love the game.

After only 13 years in the business,

she's become a musical force of nature,

with an armload of number-one hits,

more Grammy awards than the Rolling Stones,

and, according to Forbes, the distinction of being the highest-paid celebrity on the planet.

Camera, look at me!

Look at me!

By any measure, she's an amazing young woman woman,

but there were times, she says,

that being young and a woman worked against her.

You're always going to have people going,

did she write all her own songs?

Talking about your personal life,

talking about your dating life.

There's a different vocabulary for men and women in the music industry, right?

Give me an example.

OK.

A man does something, it's strategic.

A woman does the same thing, it's calculated.

A man is allowed to react,

a woman can only overreact.

I know that I'm a handful, baby.

And it seems her usual reaction is to get to work.

To the kind of tie the ladies with me.

Taylor Swift writes or co-writes all of her songs.

What's more, her music videos are all her vision.

I promise that nobody's gonna love me.

From the pastel wonderland in me.

To the giant dollhouse in her latest video, Love Her.

We could leave the Christmas lights up till January.

LOVER is also the title track of her critically acclaimed new studio album, her seventh.

Be this close forever and ever.

Take me out of the day.

She wrote the song on her piano at home and polished it up in the studio.

This is her video taken on her cell phone.

My, my, my.

Lover. And action.

Once she recorded the music,

Taylor and her cats went to Hollywood to make the music video.

And she invited us along to watch.

Okay, so when I come onto one of these sets,

my heart is racing.

I'm so excited.

It's so cool.

Yeah, definitely.

You?

Absolutely. And action.

There's a love story here.

And like a lot of Taylor's work,

it's an echo of her real life.

Born in Redding, Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift discovered her love for music as a toddler.

She set her sights on a career in country music,

and eventually her parents and younger brother moved to Nashville to help her do it.

My brother's a real bro for doing that.

Yeah, they all upended their lives. For sure.

It worked out well.

Yeah, I buy them lots of presents.

The rest reads like a fantasy.

Taylor Swift became a country music phenomenon,

and in the last few years, a pop icon.

But the superstar is, by her own admission,

as emotionally fragile as any other 20-something.

I'm still someone who is the first to apologize when I'm wrong.

And I think, but I think I'm better at standing up for myself when I have been wronged.

So that's something that I think also comes with growing up.

AMNA NAWAZ, Ph.D.: Which brings us to Scooter Braun.

AMNA NAWAZ, Ph.D.: Yeah.

AMNA NAWAZ, Ph.D.: Earlier this summer,

Scooter Braun, a talent agent with whom Swift says she has a contentious relationship,

acquired the rights to her previous recordings,

her masters when his company bought Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Label Group for a reported $300 million.

Borchetta, who worked with Swift for years,

says she and those close to her,

including her dad, who was an investor,

knew about the deal in advance and that Swift had previously been offered the chance to buy her own masters.

She remembers it differently.

And so you didn't see it coming?

No. So how did you find out?

100

I found out when it was online,

101

like when it hit the news.

102

Nobody in your inner circle knew.

103

Nobody knew.

104

And you didn't smell it.

105

No. I knew he would sell my music.

106

I knew he would do that.

107

I couldn't believe who he sold it to because we've had endless conversations about Scooter Braun.

108

And he has 300 million reasons to conveniently forget those conversations.

109

Now, could you re-record?

110

Oh, yeah.

111

Might you do that?

112

Oh, yeah.

113

That's a plan?

114

Yeah, absolutely.

115

Scooter Braun may not agree with her side of the story,

116

but he did reach out to Swift in a tweet last week calling her new album Brilliant.

117

Oh, my God.

118

OK, I'm going to do it, I guess.

119

It's clear that she wants to control her music music.

120

If anybody is watching this, thank you so much.

121

In fact, when it's time to release one of her new songs,

122

she does it personally, talking to her fans live on Instagram.

123

But I'm really excited about sharing this with you,

124

because you've really been there for me,

125

and you've made my life what it is.

126

This personal connection has earned her a loyal following.

127

But her openness comes at a price.

128

She's followed just about everywhere she goes these days by people who are crazy about her or just plain crazy.

129

Where is home for you now?

130

Um, it's a very good question.

131

I try not to ever really say where I am the most,

132

because since all my addresses are on the Internet,

133

people tend to show up uninvited.

134

Like, you know, dudes that think we have an imaginary marriage.

135

You mentioned that you keep wound dressing with you?

136

Yeah, I've had a lot of stalkers show up to the house armed.

137

So we have to think that way.

138

And she's come under attack in other ways.

139

You need only glance at the tabloids to see some very well-publicized feuds,

140

and she often hits back at her haters through her music.

141

For instance, in You Need to Calm Down,

142

she calls out anti-gay protesters and online trolls.

143

I'm curious

144

because I feel like almost every album you have a song

145

where you address the haters at least one song sometimes I probably do have

146

that habit I imagine that I might have that habit yeah why is

147

that why sing to the haters well when they stop coming for me I will stop singing to them.

148

You know people go on and on about like you have to forgive and forget to move past something.

149

No you don't.

150

You don't have to forgive and you don't have to forget to move on.

151

You can move on without any of those things happening.

152

You just become indifferent and then you move on.

153

Do you believe in forgiveness?

154

Yes absolutely.

155

Like for people

156

that are important in your life who have added you know who have enriched your life

157

and made it better and and also there's been some struggle and some bad stuff too.

158

But I think that, you know,

159

if something's toxic and it's only ever really been that,

160

what are you gonna do?

161

It's like, just move on.

162

It's fine.

163

In doctor's office lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared.

164

Taylor Swift's music is always personal, sometimes intensely so.

165

There's one song on the album called Soon You'll Get Better that it's,

166

I can't even really hear,

167

I can't even listen to it.

168

She won't talk specifically about her inspiration,

169

but it comes at a time when her mother,

170

Andrea, who was battling cancer, suffered a relapse.

171

It's really interesting because I don't think I have written a song quite like that before,

172

And it's just sort of like,

173

it's just a tough one.

174

I can imagine, but I can also tell you having listened to it, that it's universal.

175

It's just not something that we deal with until we have to,

176

until we see it, until we experience it,

177

until someone close to us is going through something like that.

178

And so writing about it was really emotional and I'm just gonna stop talking about it now.

179

Understandable.

180

Oh yeah, feel the temperature?

181

It's warm.

182

It's fine.

183

She's a lot more comfortable here,

184

where she can plunge into her work.

185

This glass tank will become a symbolic fishbowl in the music video.

186

I very often times remark that my life is like a fishbowl,

187

and that, like, if I were to,

188

like, fall in love, you know,

189

somebody's choosing to be in that fishbowl with me.

190

To jump into the fishbowl with you.

191

To jump into the fishbowl with me and live in that world just with me,

192

and you know it's not as depressing as it sounds I promise it's just a figurative it's just symbolic

193

talk about fishbowls she's been dating british actor joe alwyn for

194

three years seems he's up for a swim couldn't you just computer generate this

195

and not jump in i don't know Couldn't we have done this on the...

196

Well, yeah, we'll never know.

197

All right.

198

We could let our friends crash in the living room.

199

At the moment, Taylor Swift is,

200

well, fully immersed in today.

201

Beyond that, she says she doesn't know and doesn't want to.

202

Do you think about, you know,

203

what am I going to do in 20, 30 years?

204

You know, because that puts me into what I call,

205

like, a panic spiral.

206

Like, I cannot do that.

207

I've never been able to do that.

208

Why?

209

It just freaks me out.

210

When I zoom out too far, I freak out.

211

Do I know where I'm gonna be or even want to be in 20 years?

212

Absolutely not.

213

Like, not taking a single day for granted.

214

So how far ahead do you look?

215

Six months.

216

Just because I have to plan shows and stuff.

217

But I don't know what I'll do after this album.

218

And I think that's great.

219

It's actually, I tell myself,

220

like it's actually really ungrateful to just assume that you have 20 years.

221

Like, be stoked that you have today.
