What Taylor Swift taught me about business

from Tea with the Queen

I didn’t think I could learn leadership lessons in business from Taylor Swift…how wrong I was. I went to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as a mum (and a proud Swiftie) with my 12-year-old daughter, expecting glitter, sing-alongs, and a fun night out. What I didn’t expect was to walk out thinking: Oh. That’s what leadership looks like at scale.In this episode, I share the leadership lessons in business I took from the Eras Tour and the documentary that followed. We’re talking about protecting your energy like it’s an asset, leading as a guide (not the loudest voice in the room), and why kindness isn’t weakness when it’s paired with strategy. I also unpack what it really means to curate your community and scale without losing the thing that makes people trust you in the first place.If you’re building a business and you’ve been feeling stretched, overbooked, or like you’re carrying too much alone, this one will land. These are practical leadership shifts you can make this week, without overhauling your whole life.Want a curated room for women in business?
