The media mogul, 61, is a huge fan of the 25-year-old "Shake It Off" singer, reported Female First.

"I've never seen any woman handle herself the way she does. She makes my eyes water, the way she handles herself.

"She manages the whole fame trip, what it means to be in the spotlight, so when you think about all the things going wrong (with) the world, she is the true great role model."
