    I'm not a Swiftie. I'm just an old guy who hears only about war and violence and anger and disagreement and pessimism and arguing and negativity and darkness on youtube or the evening news or during family gatherings or on bumper stickers. But then I watch this thankful, articulate, humble woman, speak of beauty and parents and friends and positivity and brightness and my heart fills with hope. Maybe I am a Swiftie. Thank you, Taylor, for being a tiny speck of light at the deep end of a dark tunnel.

      ​@@sandragruhle6288 While I admire Taylor Swift for all the happiness and joy that she has brought to so many-through her sterling work ethic and inherent talent-it is also sad to see Ms. Swift, as an “influencer” to so many, naively lead young voters astray, in her advocacy for “voting Blue.” When one looks at the unchecked crime and rampant homelessness in so many of America’s major Blue cities, this should tell anyone who is “awake” that the Democrats are failing to serve the decent citizens-who deserve _better_ !
      Way too many decades have gone by since the Democrats were the party of JFK. To quote another great president of the postwar era, Ronald Regan, “I did not leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left _me_ .

      Truth, which we do not like:
      - there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
      - The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
      - there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
      - there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
      - there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
      - there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
      - the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
      Matthew 7:21
      The truth we don`t like:
      - we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
      - we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
      - we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
      - there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
      - the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
      - as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
      ¤ son against his father, father against his son,
      ¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
      ¤ mother in law against daughter in law

      ​@@pinkdiana7683 There’s an old high school myth, where the “cool kids” are the ones who never try (or “want it the least”), and that “desperation” is unattractive. If you ever watched 21 Jump Street the Movie, you’ll see that. Luckily, that seems to be changing now. :)

      @@pinkdiana7683 If you're confused with what "it" pertains to, you can change it into the words "dream" or "goal" or "success" since in the context that she's speaking, she's talking about these things. Thus, the people who wanted it the least are the people who think that being successful or achieving your dreams are effortless. Meaning, they don't want it enough to work hard on it. The people who worked hard are the ones that she's hiring now because she knows they can be dependable.

All I can say is that your speech had me on tears.... your music, talent, wisdom, and empathy, definitely will take myself and my girl to your concert. Don't worry any longer of what you didn't have in life. You now have a life were most can only dream of. You've made and continually making an impact to young girls most female college grad can barely scratch. I am proud of you and your family who is there with you every step of the way since hardship to now success. You are remarkable talented and very much loved. Yes we all are allowed to make mistakes. Mistakes is what makes us humans and a way for growth. Continue to shine Taylor. 🥰I am now officially a Swiftie.... 🤩

I learned a lot from her NYU commencement speech, I wish I knew at her age and had to learn the hard way. I love her music and many songs are on my playlist, I love the way she performs on her tours and am especially impressed at how she surprises her audience/fans with surprise celebrities, with such grace! She has written her own music, which is fantastic! She has paved her own way and is fantastic for her younger fans!

    to say Taylors a genus is a understatement,
    thank god she didn't give up,
    reputation, lover and folklore might never happened if she gave up
    and evermore, fearless and red both Taylors version might never have happened,

    She was born to speak and write and be a performer so poised and inspiring. Also beautiful ❤️ A role model for anyone! Congratulations Dr. Swift.

    Whatever people might say or think about Taylor,
    she's very humble in the way she said about the support she got from her family during her career,
    any success she's had she's worked for it

      @PALUMBO DEJVID if that's a joke it's in bad taste,
      It's both hurtful to Taylor and joe

    I am Kelce Mahomes Andy Reid of the Chiefs fan. Not previously a fan of TS. Kelce falling for Taylor leads me to check out why such devoted Swifties. What non-Swifties are missing out? Couldn’t be just music. This speech, the best commencement speech I have ever heard, explains a lot. Then my research into her struggles, lyrics, work ethics etc. … explains a lot more. Respect to Swifties. Travis, you can call on Kylie K. as a friend but are on your own now.

    I guarantee she sat on a couch or a bed and wrote that whole speech herself. She is an unbelievable person. After this 2023 tour, she will go down as one of the biggest ,here from Pittsburgh. I hope I get to see her someday

    Tho I’ve not appreciated this young woman’s talents before, THIS is demonstrably excellent. With an acre of TheReddestLipstickEver, she navigates a LONG, uplifting talk (*seemingly without a glance at a teleprompter), delivered like the girl next door. I’m impressed.

    I don't know how I'm only watching this now. This made me cry. I grew up with Taylor- I was 13 when "Tim McGraw" first hit the radio, and I've been a fan ever since. I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. Somehow this feels like she's up there on behalf of all of us who never got that opportunity.
