Inspirational life advice from your favorite celebrities

Taylor Swift made history at the 2021 BRIT Awards as she became the first woman and first non-British star to win the Global Icon Award. The singer joined an elite group which includes Elton John, David Bowie, and Robbie Williams. As she accepted the accolade, she shared an inspiring message about the journey to success.

"I need you to hear me when I say that there is no career path that comes free of negativity. If you're being met with resistance, that probably means that you're doing something new," she explained. "If you're experiencing turbulence or pressure, that probably means that you're rising and there might be times where you put your whole heart and soul into something and it is met with cynicism or skepticism. You cannot let that crush you."
