“The advice I would give to the other executives on this list is that the best ideas are often the ones that are unprecedented in the industry,” he said.
He added: “The greatest moments of my career came from sticking to my instincts when my ideas were viewed with skepticism. When someone says to me, ‘But this has never been done successfully before,’ it excites me.”
“We have to take strategic risks every day in this industry, but every now and then you really have to trust your instincts and take a big leap. My re-recordings are my favorite example of this, and I’m extremely grateful to my team and my fans they took this leap with me, because it completely changed my life,” he concluded.
As Melinda Newman, Billboard’s executive editor for the West Coast and Nashville, points out, Swift’s words are particularly salient in an industry where “gut instinct has largely been supplanted by metrics and data analysis.”
