At 23-years-old, Taylor Swift is a six-time Grammy Award winner, has 11 American Music Awards and 13 BMI prizes, thanks to her failed relationships and killer songwriting skills. Can you blame her for writing about her exes?

Taylor told 60 Minutes host Lesley Stahl that she tries to draw upon emotions that she has experienced when writing new songs, because she thinks people can relate to them more if they are based on personal experiences.

“My songs are always inspired by emotions. I break down emotions into like 50 million categories and one big category is sadness,” Taylor said.

Taylor admits that she’s experienced many types of sadness over the last couple of years. “There’s the missing-him kind of sadness. There’s the frustrated-and-confused, don’t-know-why-it-ended kind of sadness. There’s the I know we can’t be together but I miss you right now, there’s the sadness tinged with anger, there’s the sadness that has guilt with it, there’s the sadness that has a little bit of hope that he’ll come back. That’s why emotions are so beautiful to write about because they all sound so different to me,” she said.

It doesn’t appear as though Taylor will using relationship woes to inspire future songs because she’s happily dating One Direction member Harry Styles. They two lovebirds just returned from a romantic ski trip in Park City, Utah.

However, if Taylor and Harry do break up in the future, American Idol’s Tim Ubran already penned a great breakup song for Taylor to use!

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Will Taylor write a song about Harry one day — or will they last forever?

A retired Navy SEAL who was present for Osama bin Laden‘s May 2011 assassination is telling his story in the new book No Easy Day, and he tells CBS’ 60 Minutes that it’s already drawing controversy. “My worry from the beginning was that this is a political season,” explains the former SEAL, who goes by the name Mark Owen. “This book is not political whatsoever. It doesn’t bad mouth either party.”

“We specifically chose September 11 [as a release date] to keep it out of the politics,” he says. “If these crazies on either side of the aisle want to make it about politics, shame on them.”

But Owen’s book doesn’t just tell his story, but also the stories of the “hundreds of Americans who spent years gathering intelligence, planning and training” for the eventual assault. As far as Owen is concerned, the SEALS “just took care of the last 40 minutes.”

He even details the “dress rehearsal” that took place at a full-scale replica of Osama bin Laden’s compound built in the United States. He says that went “fine.”

Owen’s 60 Minutes interview airs one week from today, Sept. 9, on CBS. Watch a preview video below:

He had been with 60 Minutes for 38 years before his 2006 retirement. In recent years, he has struggled with declining health. During his amazing career, he was the recipient of 21 Emmy awards and five Peabody awards.

We wish his family the best during this difficult time.

Check out this clip of Taylor Swift singing one of the hardest songs to master when she was barely old enough to walk!

Five years ago, Taylor Swift released her first studio album, but the 21-year-old country crooner was belting songs long before that. In this new home video that aired on 60 Minutes, we get to see Taylor singing “Unchained Melody” as a toddler. It’s too cute!

If you’re in a rush, the moment happens right around the four minute mark. However, if you’re a Taylor fan, you should watch the full piece. There are interviews with Taylor, her mom, Andrea and her record label exec, in addition to home video footage and photos we’ve never seen before.

It’s amazing to see how far Taylor has come in such a short time!

Angelina Jolie is surprised she didn’t die already, after her wild younger years

Angelina Jolie wasn’t always the saint-like charitable mother of six she is today. In fact, the 36-year-old actor opens up during an interview airing on 60 Minutes this Sunday about how she was so wild when she was younger, she’s thankful to be alive.

“I went through heavy darker times and I survived them,” Angelina admits. “I didn’t die young, so I’m very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn’t survive certain things.”

When pressed about the “darker times,” Angie laughs it off. “I was hoping you’d miss that!” she says. “Nothing I want to go into a lot of detail about, but I think people can imagine that I did the most dangerous and I did the worst—and for many reasons I shouldn’t be here.”

She adds, “”You think of those too many times where you came close to too many dangerous things, too many chances taken too far.”

Be sure to catch Angelina’s full interview when it airs this Sunday on 60 Minutes.

After 1,097 essays, and 33 years at CBS, Andy has stepped down from his ’60 Minutes’ throne — it won’t be the same without him!

Tears streamed down my face as Andy Rooney said ‘goodbye’ during his final Sunday night sign off. The 92-year-old has made a living out of complaining over every day annoyances, but he dropped his curmudgeon act and tugged at my heartstrings during his final essay.

“I wish I could do this forever,” he said. “I can’t, though.”

I’ve grown up watching Andy deliberate over things like: Why is there cotton in our pill bottles? Why do we need watches? What’s a Lady Gaga? To more serious thoughts on war, religion, and now his life.

The New York native started out as a writer for Arthur Godfrey‘s Talent Scouts radio show in 1949 and was years later was hired as a summer replacement for 60 Minutes‘ debate segment Point/Counterpoint. Andy’s witty “end of show” segment began in 1978 and turned into a weekly Sunday night ritual for Americans. Everyone wanted to tune in to find out what or who Andy was going to take on this week.

The talented writer gave us a peek into his life and that’s when the waterworks happened for me. He talked about his late wife Marguerite Rooney, who died in 2004, and showed us pictures of his four children, grandchildren and great-grand children.

“I probably haven’t said anything here that you didn’t already know or have already thought,” he said. “That’s what a writer does. A writer’s job is to tell the truth.”

On Sunday, after he completes his 1,087th essay, Andy will be retiring! We’ll miss him!

Andy Rooney, 92, will formally announce his decision at the end of CBS’ 60 Minutes!

Andy began with CBS in 1949 as a writer for the show “Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts,” as well as “The Gary Moore Show” and writing for CBS News.

He started with ’60 Minutes’ from day one, beginning in 1968. Not only did he report but for the first few seasons he produced some of the segments. In July of 1978 he began speaking his mind on misleading car fatalities on the fourth of July weekend.

After his last broadcast, CBS will air a segment that will look back on Rooney’s 31 years on the show. We wish Andy a happy retirement!
