Taylor is an expert in her field of songwriting, and has managed to craft the English language into musical pieces that resonate with individuals around the globe. In addition to her songwriting expertise, her philanthropy also showcases her empathy & dedicated commitment as a global citizen. In light of her incredible success due to her unbridled talent, it’s resoundingly clear why she has received a honorary doctorate degree.

What a speech! Taylor revealed a side of herself of which many Swifties would not be aware. Her incredible success has come not only from her musical and performing talents but also because she has the intellect to back them up. Luck has played little part. Go Taylor!
I disagree, Swifties are very educated on all things Taylor and if you follow her at all you would realize this speech is not the first time she has verbalized her thoughts on life. I believe it is both young and older generations that will see a different side of Taylor in this speech but not her fans.
@@TM-jv1se OK - I'm relatively new to this (3 months) so I'm still learning about her, especially non-performance aspects. I shouldn't have made that assumption.

"Why do you love Taylor?" It's because of this. She's a fierce, fearless, smart and lovely woman who is extremely passionate in everything she does. She's Taylor. The one and only.
She is a very wise woman, I’m just amazed how fluent and well done she just made an amazing speech. That was a very well deserved title she’d got. I admire her very much.
Articulate, poised, confident with a bit of self-deprecation (that's balance), breezy, playful, down to earth, head in the clouds, tongue-in-cheek, twinkle in her eye...still the talented natural star Taylor we've known and loved through recent turbulent years. Thanks, lady--you are a joy and inspiration.
This speech itself deserves an honorary doctorate ,never heard someone speaking so eloquently with the addition of sensible humour to it Well deserved 👏👏 Proud of you queen Taylor Swift 👏❤️
she mentioned "Welcome To New York" and "ever and ever" (which is a line from How You Get The Girl). so, it's basically Taylor herself confirms the next rerecording is 1989 TV
I love that someone successful and beloved by many pointed out this ridiculous unspoken rule to not be so excited and enthusiastic about your dreams and what you like and just go through life being effortlessly cool I love that after all the recognitions she had, she’s still relatable and human. And I haven’t heard graduation speeches talking about those cringe moments that i feel like is secretly bothering everyone. Admittedly going through my own cringey moments over and over again is destroying my self esteem and I’ve looked for advice on how to stop my brain from going through this again and again but nothing worked. She reminded me that everyone (and even someone like taylor swift) misspoke, got deceived and made poor decisions at some points in their life and thats normal.
I just love and am immensely proud of her She’s always been so articulate, expressing eloquently and I really felt that her words spoke to me She really went through so much in 2016, just imagine everyone literally turning against you, so many hate tweets trending insults, shade thrown everywhere and people believe that their actions were perfectly fine Even at such a young age and during a significant time in her life, she was publicly humiliated
Proud for what? Just like her entire career she is reading lines written for her...you do know what an honorary degree means right? Handed out for nothing
@@jchase5468do you think it would be easy te have an honorary doctorate degree? it means a person is honorable not because he/she did nothing but because of something that person did that made him/her honorable.
@@jchase5468 also wtf does *reading lines written for her , just like her entire career does* She worked the hardest in her career, if not the actual degree.
@@jchase5468 did you saw she looking at a paper! This is one of best songwriters in our genaration! and you can't buy an honorary degree can you ? and every year they give one to someone who has gone to the top of their field. and Taylor Swift has gone way too far! She's already the 3rd Most Awarded artist in history coming very fast for becoming the no.1 ! The only female to ever be named as the Artist of the decade (AMAs), Woman of the decade ( Billboard ), and Global icon (MTV) of decade! She also is the person who inspired the most amout of people to lern to play guitar. That reason only is enough to receive a doctorate in Arts. and The impact she has done, lives she has changed by her music is enormous
I graduated this year from UC Berkeley and I’m so glad Taylor gave this speech during the year I graduated. I’m just gonna pretend it’s for me too! Congrats to the NYU grads of 2022!
People don't see Taylor Swift as a pop artist. They see her as someone who takes charge of her career. I heard she makes all the final decisions on stage works and songs so it's an inspiration to many.
bruh, i've already watched this whole speech once but now im here for the second time and i wanna stop the video and continue my lab report but i cant coz her speech is just too relatable and inspiring, ugh! what a dilemma.
She can quit singing and song-writing any time she wants, and becomes a motivational speaker, a really good one. Some people are just so multi-talented.
NYU scored - I was not expecting her speech to be good at all - but she is humble, sincere, and gave good advice from her own experience. The best thing is you can tell she was just really honored to be there. Good for her and her new Doctorate. Win - Win.
My gosh I don’t think I’ve ever loved her more than I ever have after watching this. She’s so well spoken. No pun intended but I think I was literally enchanted.
This came at such a perfect time for me. I'm in the class of 2022, however, I'm graduating from community college with an associates' degree while all my friends from high school are graduating with a bachelors this year. The thing is though, I'm still young, and at 21 years old I'm not ready to decide on a major because I still have no idea what my long term career goals are and what path I want to follow. But Taylor's speech brought me so much comfort and helped me realize that just because I may be a little behind my peers in terms of my education, that doesn't mean I'm destined for failure. And for anyone in the same boat, I'm sure you'll find your way too. Thank you Taylor, you've been my favorite artist ever since I first heard Love Story at 8 years old and you always will be ❤️
You're not behind. In a few years, it won't matter and less so, in more years after that. As an older person, my advice (and not too far from Taylor's) is listen to your gut instinct. It'll tell you what to do and where to go. ALTHOUGH do try to be wise about it. Your gut will tell you that too. Try to take as many opportunities that come your way as you can. If some don't exactly feel right for whatever reason, then move on. Works for jobs and for relationships. Do try to give something or someone a chance however, and don't give up at the first sign of struggle or hardship. Real life is hard and unfortunately, doesn't get easier as we get older BUT we do get wiser! Just try to make the wise choices which also means oftentimes not making rash emotional decisions. This is most important too when it comes to money. Anyway, you'll figure it out and get there eventually. Good luck!!
Hopefully doing CC you are not in six figure debt like your peers. Post secondary is just pricing itself out of the market. It makes no sense to do university and blow big money on it if you have no idea how to pay it off in a career. All the best for you in the future.
@@LaurenLaass As a writer and fellow "person in the arts," this is the reason why I find it hard to encourage young people to pursue the arts in college. On the side, as a hobby, go for it! But realistically speaking, if you're just gonna put in a couple tens of thousands of $ into a bachelor's degree then make sure it's one that'll pay off as a career eventually. And unfortunately, a degree in the arts doesn't always cut it. If you can get a scholarship then that's a different story. But if you have to go into massive debt, it may not be worth it. Having said that, good luck to you and your theater career! I'm sure you're great in it. I ended up working for the city library and no longer write for a living. It's just a more stable job overall.
“We’ll, let me give you the good news, it’s all up to you. And let me give you the terrifying news, it’s ALL UP TO YOU.” Damn Taylor you really understand me :).
I think it’s really sad some of you comment just to be hateful. It only looks like jealousy. There’s a reason she was given this honor. They don’t take it lightly choosing someone for a doctorate degree and NYU speech. Let me just reference her Folklore and Evermore albums if you have something to say. You people are sad. Jealous jealous lol.
@Alessandro HV It ias not just abourt some albums. It has also been about her chritable work. her standing up for secual assualt survivors and lgbtq people and making the music industry actually pay the taalent, for their hard work. You are very narrow minded
@Alessandro HV if you had any common sense, I was referencing just those 2 albums since I know most people’s point of view is “she only writes love songs” and thats far from the case, so I was just getting ahead of the morons. When did I say she’s receiving this honor because of some albums alone? Find another excuse since I just invalidated your false one.
TO THE CLASS OF 2022 you should be proud of yourself that you were a real star and survived the pandemic when the whole world was falling apart. May you all achieve all that you want and feel proud of yourself every day. All the best for the future! btw I am going to graduate my senior year at high school this July. and more LOVE to you from INDIA.
Inspiration for the day: Taylor gets an honorary Doctorate and, with candor and grace, shows why she's a sterling role model for young and old. Commencement speeches are rarely touching and funny, as well as wise.
I always love you because you had powerful and beautiful personality . I have to say again I love you and God bless you and America . Thanks, Sincerely Neha .
Wow I love her! Her speech was so good! I'm trying to figure if she memorized it? It always drives me crazy when the speaker reads from a piece of paper, it feels so ingenuine. Her speech felt like she was actually speaking to me.
as someone who just spoke at their graduation ceremony, I read from a speech because I have absolutely terrible memory and social anxiety... had to practice like 10+ times so it sounded right.
@@tm-te9mh that's amazing! I'm sure you did an amazing job! I also have terrible anxiety and I woulda been scared to the core. My comment was based on any speech in general not just graduation. Even at church if the pastor reads a homily/sermon they wrote it feels very scripted. I took a speech class in college where we were able to have our piece of paper with us but we weren't allowed to read from it we could only glance. It was terrifying, we weren't even allowed to have a podium to hold on for dear life! But it was amazing delivering my speech it was exhilarating and liberating giving a speech is not easy in the slightest!
The two mirror like thing in front of her was her teleprompter. For sure she prepared a speech for this hence that’s why it was so good. Really learned a lot of it. :)
We swifties needs to stop calling out for hater or act like it is something new. Dude, it's been happening to Taylor ever since she started her career. When she wins something or when she losses something, people always has something to say about her. Just gulp it down fellow swifties, it's pointless to say anything to those haters.
You have just shared your experiences..and the best part is not to let losing and mistakes keep one down but to keep the positivity...and be better at life.Thank you..
Her wisdom resonates with me right now. Turning 30 on the 27th this month… I left my job three months ago then my boyfriend of seven years broke up with me a month later. I have no prospects these days and I’m falling deep into that rabbit hole. But I am trying to pick myself back up now and this was what I needed to hear. Thank you, Taylor.
The last time I felt moved by a commencement address was in the 90s that became famous because it was passed off as written by Kurt Vonnegut but was actually a column written by Mary Schmich for the Chicago Tribune (and yes, it became a song by Baz Luhrman), but Taylor Swift wrote a very lovely speech.
Such a great, humorous, and moving speech. Congratulations to all you NYU graduates; as well as Taylor being honored with an honorary doctorate. I have always loved your fashion sense Taylor. I love you Taylor, I love your music.
Napakagaling ni Taylor Swift sa isip at salita. Galing sa puso at karanasan ang payo niya sa mga sariwang isip na nagtapos ng pag-aaral Pagpalain nawa kayong lhat.

That was an amazing heart to heart mindful speech . She points out what we have all gone through ..or will go through in our life times. We will have ups and downs, but instead of turning to paths that can cause destruction in one way or another…may it be a bad choice or an bad memory, we NEED to pay attention and LEARN from what life hands us. Many Blessings and heartfelt wishes to all those who go through any life decisions…..may we all learn, grow and blossom into what will be the BEST versions of ourselves that we can be.
WTF? First time to make a song of her greatest achievement, so the greatest achievement is being a doctor. She's the fucking best at everything she does already
@@just-justice-here lol! WTF 🤣, read I said 'ONE', don't you know it's big honor to be given opportunity to give speech in one of university, rather than giving a performance that its very common for her 🤣. Unless you haven't tried to give speech in professional way like that 😝

Neha .
Did she memorize this whole speech by heart ??? Ooff the talent of this lady 😍
Impressive indeed! She might have--she's certainly capable, but I suspect she used the teleprompters.
she sounds sooooo happyyyy im soooo happy for herrrrr 😭😭😭😭😭😭
You don't know how many times I replayed this. Such encouraging words from Taylor🥰
I graduated 10 years ago but I still feel this in my bones 🥲 Thank you Taylor, you’re such an inspiration!!
ITS FUNNY HOW SOME OF THE COMMENTS ARE MAD OF TAYLOR JUST BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN CALLED A DOCTOR BUT CAN'T DO A HEART SURGERY 💀💀💀💀
I'm screaming😭😭😭 schools need to be reopened ASAP
Lmao💀
@@Harry-pc2se here in Italy we've been open since September lmao
I actually feel pity for their sad, sad lives.
It's a doctorate in arts what has heart surgery got to do with this
Wow I love her! Her speech was so good! I'm trying to figure if she memorized it? It always drives me crazy when the speaker reads from a piece of paper, it feels so ingenuine. Her speech felt like she was actually speaking to me.
as someone who just spoke at their graduation ceremony, I read from a speech because I have absolutely terrible memory and social anxiety... had to practice like 10+ times so it sounded right.
@@tm-te9mh that's amazing! I'm sure you did an amazing job! I also have terrible anxiety and I woulda been scared to the core. My comment was based on any speech in general not just graduation. Even at church if the pastor reads a homily/sermon they wrote it feels very scripted. I took a speech class in college where we were able to have our piece of paper with us but we weren't allowed to read from it we could only glance. It was terrifying, we weren't even allowed to have a podium to hold on for dear life! But it was amazing delivering my speech it was exhilarating and liberating giving a speech is not easy in the slightest!
Im pretty sure she had teleprompter.
The two mirror like thing in front of her was her teleprompter. For sure she prepared a speech for this hence that’s why it was so good. Really learned a lot of it. :)
ikr! i was wondering if she memorized her speech, seeing her delivering the speech so effortlessly
We swifties needs to stop calling out for hater or act like it is something new. Dude, it's been happening to Taylor ever since she started her career. When she wins something or when she losses something, people always has something to say about her. Just gulp it down fellow swifties, it's pointless to say anything to those haters.
It's not about Taylor as such everyone who's famous faces that its just part of it and they don't care anyways
Besides I don't even see any haters
What an amazing speech she is offering all of us.
Totally love the speech she delivered, i honestly cried reading her speech in a rolling stone article earlier today online.
which one, may I ask?
You have just shared your experiences..and the best part is not to let losing and mistakes keep one down but to keep the positivity...and be better at life.Thank you..
i was always wondering why such a talented and gorgerous airtist hadn't got an honorary degree from any universities... and finally there she is!!!
In tears by the end of this speech. I love her sooo much
Got the feeling she is genuinely speaking from the heart… 👍🏽
As a swiftie, I feel like we won. ♥️😭
Her wisdom resonates with me right now. Turning 30 on the 27th this month… I left my job three months ago then my boyfriend of seven years broke up with me a month later. I have no prospects these days and I’m falling deep into that rabbit hole. But I am trying to pick myself back up now and this was what I needed to hear. Thank you, Taylor.
You're going to be okay❤️
I always come out better in the other side of a set back. It’s there. Keep your eyes wide open.
@@accountforwastingtime Thank you
@@TheAldoMovies Thank you
I only intended to watch the first 2 minutes but I can't believe I watched her entire speech. She is such a captivating speaker.
She is such class act!! Love u Taylor
ah-mazing! did she legit memorize her entire speech?? i didn't see her once looking at any references. legend.
reference is often left and right of camera frame😅
@@LouisaMarit ahh that probably explains 😅
@@LouisaMarit I don't think she used any reference. I think she memorized it...especially because she is very good at memorizing
@@fathimasanayoosaf8688 nah, there were the little monitors. you can see it from a different camera angle in an NBC News video
Teleprompter maybe?
I loved your speech Taylor. I’m so proud of you and everyone else who graduated. It’s hard work that’s worth every bit of effort. Congrats!
Lovely speech!
A wordsmith in all aspects! In songs and in relatable words full of wisdom and empathy
The last time I felt moved by a commencement address was in the 90s that became famous because it was passed off as written by Kurt Vonnegut but was actually a column written by Mary Schmich for the Chicago Tribune (and yes, it became a song by Baz Luhrman), but Taylor Swift wrote a very lovely speech.
This Queen, she proves why some bitches are jealous of her every time she's on the spotlight! She's successful, she is the moment!
Awesome. Class of 2022 so fortunate to have Taylor as their speaker. Worth saving and reading once a month.
Anyone else pause the video when she talked about her cathartic bridge and immediately listen to All Too Well and Out of the Woods? Yeah, me too.
This is beautiful. Congratulations Doctor Taylor Swift and the class of NYU 2022.
this is the most powerful and beautiful video to exist on the internet
Such an amazing woman, role model, artist. She truly is a master of fine arts. So happy for her!
the message is so overwhelming in an optimistic way😊 i really love this girl❤️❤️❤️
Such a great, humorous, and moving speech. Congratulations to all you NYU graduates; as well as Taylor being honored with an honorary doctorate. I have always loved your fashion sense Taylor. I love you Taylor, I love your music.
I just experienced a roller coaster of emotion listening to Taylor's speech💜💜
This speech made me tear up, I love you Taylor 🥺💜
Napakagaling ni Taylor Swift sa isip at salita.
Galing sa puso at karanasan ang payo niya sa mga sariwang isip na nagtapos ng pag-aaral
Pagpalain nawa kayong lhat.
My family’s so proud of you Taylor Swift!! Congratulations to you!!!🎓🎉🎊📚❤️❤️❤️ from a regular student with a doctorate degree and also a Pop superstar. You’re truly the best of both worlds. You deserve a lots of success. You’re very inspirational. We love you so much and again congratulations 🍾🎊🎉🎈
IM CRYING I WISH TAYLOR SPIKE AT MY GRADUATION TOO
i am speechless after her speech ... oh god
She’s such a talented and intelligent woman. I get filled with so many feels watching her hit all these milestones!
Awesome! I did not expect that at all. One of the best I’ve ever heard.
Full of wisdom, grace...thanks Taylor Swift.
“We use heart-shattering stories to write our songs.”
Oh my gosh she spoke so well!!!!
That was an amazing heart to heart mindful speech . She points out what we have all gone through ..or will go through in our life times. We will have ups and downs, but instead of turning to paths that can cause destruction in one way or another…may it be a bad choice or an bad memory, we NEED to pay attention and LEARN from what life hands us. Many Blessings and heartfelt wishes to all those who go through any life decisions…..may we all learn, grow and blossom into what will be the BEST versions of ourselves that we can be.
Hello Mary
She's so eloquent and inspiring. I love listening to her talk ❤
This means soo much. I graduated a month ago and this couldn't come at a better time. Love you Taylor!
Congrats Taylor Swift, to inspire people with your specialty of craft in music.. 💐🎉
Proud of her 💜
Inspiring. Empowering! Taylor is a genius. Eloquent. Just thank you for making music. It helped me in this life hugely!
Wow genius? Seek help she is far from a genius...but she can read material someone else wrote really well I agree
@@jchase5468 have u even heard folklore...closer to a genuis than youll ever reach
@@jchase5468 I'm embarrassed for you
@@jchase5468 speak now exists yk
@Swifte Well said. It is really sad but it's amazing how people are just out here wasting their own time just to be hateful assholes!!
It is well deserved Taylor Swift; God honors the humble, humility.
Great inspirational speech. She is very articulate, funny, and wise.
This is gonna be her first time to make a song for one of her greatest achievement!!
WTF? First time to make a song of her greatest achievement, so the greatest achievement is being a doctor. She's the fucking best at everything she does already
@@just-justice-here lol! WTF 🤣, read I said 'ONE', don't you know it's big honor to be given opportunity to give speech in one of university, rather than giving a performance that its very common for her 🤣. Unless you haven't tried to give speech in professional way like that 😝
@@et3041 what makes you think she's going to write song about being a doctor?
