    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_ .

Of course, she probably went over her speech a million times, which is why it is so smoothly delivered, and she is able to look forward and away sometimes, but she clearly didn't have it memorized by heart. Its not a big deal or even a little one. Its normally how these things go. It has nothing to do with being a skillful artist. Thanks have a good day!

      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

    “ being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful but it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute by minute ever fluctuating social relevance likability.”
    This is something everyone needs to learn.
    This is one of the most down to earth speeches I’ve ever heard.

    My God, she is an amazing woman in so many respects. I’m in total awe of her persona and talents. This speech was delivered as though she were sitting next to a friend and talking. I’m floored. I’m so happy that I have finally become a fan, albeit about 12 years late. I wish I could just sit and have a cup of coffee with her one day.❤

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!

Listening to her giving her speech here...unassisted...no teleprompter...no notes...relevant and amongst so many superlatives interesting...no hesitation...confident. if anyone well deserves a Doctorate and incredible honor...Taylor Swift does.
    In the future...when the tours are done...the songs have ended...I can think of no one more suited able and if willing and brave to serve her country enter into the turmoil of politics and stand for the Senate and for the Presidency. Amongst the turmoils and sadness...conflicts throughout the world...she alone has bought untold relief...happiness hope and joy to millions. What a star...what a legacy.

    Dr. Taylor Allison Swift,
    No words could ever express how grateful I am to you. You saved my life and made it better in so many ways. You inspire me to keep going through all the hard times. I love you more than I ever thought possible. Not just your music but you as a person; you’re empathetic nature, kindness, integrity, intelligence, loyalty and love for us swifties. I’m crying seeing you SO much happier nowadays and I love you Taylor. We’re ALWAYS so proud of you 🫶🫶🫶🫶. Thank you for everything, you are my everything. ❤

    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

    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.

    I watched this speech of Taylor two years ago and rewatched it today. Man, she is really one great speaker aside that she is already known for as a great singer/songwriter and businesswoman. Her speech was so simple yet so natural, moving, inspiring, and realistic. It is just like she is talking to friends. 😊😊

    don't forget Taylor managed to do the 10 minute song all too well from memory,
    Taylor said. When she was doing the song it lasted nearly 15 minutes,
    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,
    Taylors family and Joe are the best thing that's happened to her,
    she's also with a label that respects her,
    not like a certain so called company that effectively stole her music.

    Five quotes that moved me forever from this speech:
    1. Decide what is your to hold and let the rest go
    2. Learn to live alongside cringe - no matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively
    3. I am a big advocate for not hiding your enthusiasm for things
    4. The people who want the most are the people I hire to work for my company
    5. As long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing - we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out. I am a doctor now so I know how breathings works
    Love Taylor. ❤

    is it just me who randomly started crying trough this? it’s hard to put into words what taylor is. shes literally so inspirational and kind and smart, guess you could call her a mastermind. but i physically can not say how much of a impact she has put on us swifties through so, many, years. Does anybody just genuinely wanna be her friend? like, not for fame. just because she seems like a awesome person? And you all do realize. There is physically nobody in this world who has had the amount of success in the way she has, like, ever. ilysm taylor you ARE the music industry and you are a one of the most amazing people to step foot on this planet. People have been supporting you since you took those first steps :)

      I think she so represents a person who has talent and goals and she's been able to execute all that with intelligence, a level of maturity and balance amidst consistent grow and success. So few people achieve that - on top of being beautiful, adorable and kind. Many of us wish we could have all that goodness active in our own lives .... that's part of what I think the tears are about for many of her fans. And despite the attacks and vicious behaviors of others, she keeps taking the high road it seems. Its ALL GOOD. By and large its all good ..... and in this world with many "less than admirable" young female artists who are very visible and sadly, hugely trashy ...... she shines brilliantly. Good does triumph.

    Thinking about how I was at my lowest point when I discovered Taylor's music. Then everything worsened for both of us and she disappeared but that gave me enough time to get to know her as a person and, without hesitation I became a Swiftie 🥺
    Now it's been almost seven years of following her and being inspired and admired by her talent and humanity. I have grown next to her, with her songs that I've intaken as lessons and catharsis and her brilliance and wisdom that make me feel more and more proud of her every day. Seeing how much she's been through and how she has successfully overcome all obstacles in her way is truly captivating and motivating 💗
    Those who realize Taylor's impact and transcendency, acknowledge this is what she deserves: being recognized, honored, and celebrated for her art and legacy. She's so much more than another female singer: she's a poet, a creative unstoppable force, and a mastermind. She has the gift of transforming all kinds of experiences into magic, into something untouchable ✨
    She's providing guidance and knowledge to everybody out there through her melodies and lyrics that have turned into anthems for so many, spreading messages that bring a renewed faith in love and art and show a slight spark of hope for our chaotic and insensitive world. And the most exciting thing is that the best of her is yet to come! She's paving her way, becoming an actual legend and it's such an honor to witness her rising to the sky 🤩
    She's saved my life and taught me to trust myself and she's one of the brightest lights leading me to a better and healthier place 💞

I 've seen most of the band's of seventies, and seen , and heard a lot of music, but every time I hear Taylor speak, it makes me a bigger fan... and I'm like an old guy! It would be a blast to see her perform sometime... good luck to you Taylor, and carry on with all your projects as you travel the circus that is life, enjoy it all! Much love from the beautiful Oregon Coast, AL

    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.

  • @wecontrolthevideo

    A very amazing speech for the Class of ‘22. She had everyone’s attention, notice how quiet the stadium was as she spoke. Taylor has a mature “old” soul, and speaks as someone who has lived 40 or 50 years. Not everything in life works out, but you have the ability to adapt and move on.
