Be nice until you read it in full… 🫠
I would NOT call myself a Swiftie 😅 ...(Before you BITE my head off READ in FULL)
In my downtime, I usually choose silence over music or noise. But I recently watched Taylor Swift’s newest documentary - “Taylor Swift: The End of an Era” and I walked away thinking: If someone is breaking records at that level, there are lessons in there for anyone looking to GROW, anyone building something.
I thought it was important to note a few “wait…WHAT?!” stats that stopped me in my tracks:
🎤 149 shows on The Eras Tour
⏱️ Each show is over 3.5 hours and about ~45 songs
🏃🏻♀️ She shared she runs ~8 miles per show
🗓️ She "The Eras" idea, production, and training was years in the making!
👗 ~20+ Costume changes in under 2 minutes (fastes is ~39 seconds)
My takeaways (and yes… I’m preaching to myself too 🙋🏻♀️):
1. Greatness requires the discipline of NO.
Not every opportunity is your assignment. (including in your personal life)
2. The preparation phase happens when nobody’s watching… and nobody cares.
That’s where the separation of greatness is built.
3. Results don’t always show up right away.
Consistency looks boring, is boring… until it looks like “overnight success".
4. Don’t hide your light — shine as bright as you can.
God created us all uniquely different. It's not bragging or pride to truly live up to your FULL potential, its your responsibility. ✨
5. Record-breaking greatness is NOT done alone.
Growth happens together, when you all work together to lift one another up.
6. Reinvention is allowed — as long as you stay rooted.
Different “eras,” same person. Growth sometime means you get to "scratch that" and start over, or evole differnt elements of your life.
👇 Question for you: which one do you need most going into 2026?
1. Saying NO, 2) Preparing in private, 3) Staying consistent, 4) Shining, 5) Growth with a Team, or 6) Reinventing? 💬🫶🏼
