When Taylor Swift recently announced she would be dropping a 12th studio album, the media coverage was frenzied, devoted Swifties went wild with excitement, and the haters immediately started, well, hating.

Regardless of your feelings about the mega-star, it was big news. Taylor Swift is one of the most accomplished businesswomen of our era.

In fact, her star wattage combined with her economic acumen is what led Forbes Council leadership coach and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Randi Braun to design an entire seminar for women in leadership titled “Moving Swiftly Toward Your Goals.”

So, as the world awaits the debut of “The Life of a Showgirl” album (and ’80s-style cassette!), we asked Braun to share a few key lessons in leadership women can apply to a non-celebrity work life. Her are her top 3:

1. Pursue Your Dreams Relentlessly.

Braun describes the arc of Taylor’s career as being about setting goals, showing up, and reinventing herself along the way. Your professional journey is also a long game. Braun advises, “Name your goal, whether it’s a small want (more sleep) or a big dream (launching your own business).” Then start that daily, relentless pursuit of it.

And give yourself permission to reinvent yourself when it makes sense. When Taylor re-recorded six of her albums, she added a tweak here and there to reflect what she wanted to do differently in the present. You can own your past work while putting your future spin on it.

2. Don’t Let the Jerks Take you Down.

One word: Kanye. Remember his mic-stealing moment on stage at a music awards show in which he very publicly offered “feedback” to Taylor on why she didn’t deserve to win her award?

According to Braun, this type of overt toxic feedback (or even sneakier microaggression kind) says more about the giver of the feedback than about the receiver. She urges women not to let negative feedback  define them. Put simply, don’t let the Kanyes in your workplace (male or female) derail your goals and accomplishments.

3. Know That Your Ideas are Your Brand Currency. 

Finally, says Braun, put your ideas out there with confidence and consistency, knowing that they are key to building your long-term reputation. Braun emphasizes that while Taylor Swift has written hundreds of songs, not all were smash hits. But the amalgamation of her consistent, confident, creative output has become her brand currency.

So, show up and speak out consistently at meetings, in emails, and on LinkedIn. And always put your ideas out there using phrases that demonstrate strength (“I think we should…”) while avoiding weak wording (“I’m no expert, but maybe…”). Like Taylor, own your message with confidence. And don’t be afraid of iterating your brand; it’s OK for your ideas to evolve.

You don’t need to have a favorite Taylor Swift song to appreciate the business empire she has built. We can all take a leadership lesson (or three) from the “Showgirl” herself.
