Taylor Swift delivered a commencement speech to New York University graduates and received an honorary degree at Yankee Stadium. She joked that she was likely selected to receive the honor “because I have a song called ’22,” and advised the class “not to cringe away from cringe.”

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 the world stage ended up being nothing but a bunch of pretenders. It's not even acting it's pretend totally make believe ✌🏾
She’s so charismatic I can listen to her talk about everything in life forever
As much as I admire Taylor Swift, she is the perfect example of how NOT to "waste" time and money on a university degree.
Even more so when post secondary education has become so expensive. Heard and Depp did not go to university.
They made millions of dollars. And now their sordid personal lives are becoming public. And Mayim Bialik.
She has a PhD in neuroscience and is hosting a TV game show. So why bother doing a PhD? And if she is a TV host,
what is up with her research career? Two very smart women nonetheless. Why did Taylor Swift not study classical music?
In university? She would have been learning the base of music for her own songs and getting a degree as well.
She talks about life.. reality
You could do some basic research on why nobody’s been able to survive on grass and avoid a certain degree of cringe.
Master of Fine nothing.
She can't sing.
Her lyrics are lame.
Even her speech.
She's right when she says cringe is unavoidable.
She's one of them.
I downloaded this. Her speech is more than just a song. I can't stop listening. I want to replay it over and over again.
Go,go,go Taylor!# Congratulations!# Proud for you, from The Philippines!#
sweeter than fiction
Congratulations
An incredible speech.
i love her so much my mom
Congratulations!❤️🌷🎊
She's so inspiring for young musician like me, I started learning Guitar and PIano and Songwriting because of Taylor Swift music.
I do love you Taylor 💘
Thoughtful.
NBC says cringe.
Don't follow Taylor that much. Pretty old for her songs but in this short but insightful speech says a lot about her passion, her art and wisdom. Remarkable accomplishments in her own right that cannot be denied. Congratulations!
“You don’t always get all the things in the bag, that you selected from the menu, in the divers service that is life. You get what you get.” -Taylor Swift
Her speech was written in her heart
this was one of the most cringe and out of touch things I've ever heard
Congratulations
i love her
What a waste of a degree.
Booooo
Give me a break people! College graduation is supposed to be about the students who worked their tails off, but their big day ends up getting hijacked by a pop artist who has NO BUSINESS getting a degree (of any kind) that they did not earn. I am 64 years old and I find this disgusting, and it happens every year all over this country and it sucks. Don't get me wrong; Taylor Swift is a talented young woman who has earned the huge success that she has worked hard for, but until she takes four to six years off from her dazzling pop music career to enroll in college, this is one 'stage' that she does not belong on!
@10:55
taylor not so swift
also 6:20 RESPECT THAT QUEEN
shes so humble and honest and amazing and smart and now shes a doctor i love her so much
so is her becoming a doctor the reason she wasn’t on social media for a while? just wondering
This is name of celebrities who got Honorary Doctorate Degree without go to college : 1.Oprah Winfrey, 2.Meryl Streep, 3.Muhammad Ali, 4.Ed Sheeran, 5.Celine Dion and now Taylor Swift. And she worth it man. NYU give appreciation for what she did.
She is so funny. ❤️
Taylor write a book 😍
3:57 girl just announce 1989 Taylor's Version already 😩
Being embarrassed after making a mistake is not only a human experience but also a cry of intuition being ignored. Perfectly natural consequence. Thank you Taylor, you're the best pop artist around.
Amazing. Oh I need to go back to her music, i felt she is different.. ❤
Puke 🤮
I don't know why, but hearing "welcome to new york, it's been waiting for you" had me in tears…
TAYLOR ALLISON SWIFT. OH MY GOD.

Thank you for the message on cringe Taylor
I love her speech. ♥️
Miss swift congratulation on your graduation today at New York University. You delivered a very eloquent speech . How nice also that jillian robredo the daugther of vice president leonora Maria garedo robredo graduated with you today .again congratulation to both of you and all the rest of your co graduate .for a better world I salute you all .a fan of you for a long long ago.
I am not a Taylor fan by any means. But to all her detractors who clearly think they know better, let's watch them succeed and leave their mark in the way that she has. I am a retired lawyer in my early 50s. I reached financial independence in my mid 40s. If I had has someone impart such wisdom onto me when I graduated I suspect I would have done even better. Go Taylor…
Taylor swift are u graduation
