Times when the right thing is to fight, times when the right thing is to turn and run. The people who wanted it the least were the ones I wanted to date and be friends with in high school. What I mean by that is, knowing what things to keep, and what things to release. The people who want it most are the people I now hire to work for my company. I guess I have been officially solicited in this situation, to impart whatever wisdom I might have and tell you the things that helped me in my life so far. Not the type of doctor you would want around in the case of an emergency, unless your specific emergency was that you desperately needed to hear a song with a catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section. As a kid, I always thought I would go away to college, imagining the posters I’d hang on the wall of my freshmen dorm. Then I went out on the road on a radio tour, which sounds incredibly glamorous but in reality it consisted of a rental car, motels, and my mom and I pretending to have loud mother-daughter fights with each other during boarding so no one would want the empty seat between us on Southwest. We are each a patchwork quilt of those who have loved us, those who have believed in our futures, those who showed us empathy and kindness or told us the truth even when it wasn’t easy to hear. If they are here in this stadium, I hope you’ll find your own way to express your gratitude for all the steps and missteps that have led us to this common destination. As for me, I’m…90% sure the main reason I’m here is because I have a song called ‘22’. And let me just say, I am elated to be here with you today as we celebrate and graduate New York University’s Class of 2022. To all the incredible parents, family members, mentors, teachers, allies, friends and loved ones here today who have supported these students in their pursuit of educational enrichment, let me say to you now: Welcome to New York. It’s been waiting for you.

Taylor Swift looked like every other proud graduate as she prepared to receive her honorary doctorate from NYU.

Times when the right thing is to fight, times when the right thing is to turn and run. The people who wanted it the least were the ones I wanted to date and be friends with in high school. Having the world treat my love life like a spectator sport in which I lose every single game was not a great way to date in my teens and twenties, but it taught me to protect my private life fiercely. What I mean by that is, knowing what things to keep, and what things to release. The times I was told no or wasn’t included, wasn’t chosen, didn’t win, didn’t make the cut…looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important, if not more crucial, than the moments I was told “yes.” Not being invited to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown made me feel hopelessly lonely, but because I felt alone, I would sit in my room and write the songs that would get me a ticket somewhere else. I guess I have been officially solicited in this situation, to impart whatever wisdom I might have and tell you the things that helped me in my life so far. Not the type of doctor you would want around in the case of an emergency, unless your specific emergency was that you desperately needed to hear a song with a catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section.

Singer Taylor Swift has received an honorary degree at New York University and gave a speech revealing 'life hacks' she's learnt from her life and career.

The album includes a 10-minute version of 'All Too Well', and Taylor also directed a short film to accompany the song. In her acceptance speech, Taylor said she was "proud to be part of a musical community, especially in a year where we've needed music so much." I mean this is, this is a Grammy! I live in awe of the people that I was nominated against in this category. 'Fearless (Taylor's Version)' was released through Republic Records and includes re-recorded versions of all 19 tracks from the platinum edition of 'Fearless', along with six additional 'from the vault' tracks that weren't included on the original album in 2008. 'Reputation' become the super-talented singer's fifth Number 1 album on the Billboard 200 and her third UK Number 1 album. To top it off, the 38 tour show brought in ticket sales of over a whopping $2 million! Beginning in Indiana and concluding in Canada, Justin Bieber was one of the support acts for this tour back in 2009. In 2002, a young Taylor Swift sang the American National Anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game. 'Love Story' won a number of awards including Song of The Year at BMI's Country Awards.

Taylor Swift spoke about 'excruciatingly painful' moments in her life in a speech as she was conferred with an honorary doctorate from NYU.

This outfit is much more comfortable.’ The star had shared her excitement over her conferment with fans ahead of the ceremony on Wednesday, with an Instagram video that told her fans she was ‘wearing a cap and gown for the very first time.’ Having shot to fame as a teenager, the former country music star expanded her genre and has gone on to be one of the most successful musicians in the world.

"Being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful."

“I was a teenager in the public eye at a time when our society was absolutely obsessed with the idea of having perfect young female role models,” she explained. NYU previously said in a press release: “Taylor Swift is a trailblazing and influential advocate for artists’ rights in the face of exploitation and a forceful global advocate against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.” “But it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute-by-minute, ever-fluctuating social relevance and likability.” “I’m trying to tell you that losing things doesn’t just mean losing. Speaking to MTV way back in 2008, the singer said: “College, to me, I always thought I was going to go. Both my parents went to college, so I thought that's what I was going to do, but life took a different turn.
