- Singer and songwriter superstar Taylor Swift gave a commencement speech for NYU's Spring 2022 graduation at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday after accepting an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the institution.
In the 20-plus minute speech, the Grammy-winning musician spoke about facing criticism while growing up in the music industry and suggested “life hacks” to the new graduates.
“Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth,” she said.
Swift also advised graduates to “learn to live alongside cringe” and accept failure.
She concluded her speech by telling graduates that making mistakes is inevitable but “when hard things happen to us, we will recover, we will learn from it, we will grow more resilient because of it."
"As long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing, we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep and breathe out. I am a doctor now so I know how breathing works."

She is so well spoken, has the kindest heart and has such a brilliant mind. I'm always amazed of the wise words that come out of her mouth. Congratulations Taylor!
I'm amazed at the liberal garbage she spews. At one time in the beginning she must have had a "handler" tell her enough. However, the cat was already outta the bag.
@@Sticks45 lmao, it's a Tumblr speech.
@@sm-er8eq and your point is ... lMYao
I've heard toddlers give better speaches
They just hate Taylor.
This feels like a personal achievement when you are a Swiftie 💚 So proud of Her...
Puke
@@Sticks45 Go away hon
@@cambrie7946 Why, "hun"? Free speech at the moment anyway, "hun".
@@cambrie7946 Yeah! Free speech, so go away!
@@Sticks45 OK hon 🙄
I cried my eyes out seeing this...being hated publicly and then getting honored and respected among them 🥺😭❤️
same here
Pathetic
Not a glance of any script. Every little part of her words and actions describe what kind of person she is. Her wisdom and strength, the guts as a fighter is what we look up to, and one of the biggest reasons of her being the biggest mentor of our time.
there was Autocue.... She's great!
25 minutes felt like 5 minutes I can’t get enough of her she keeps changing my life I love her ..
Bro I was goin to write the same thing!
I just got admitted to NYU for my masters! Wooo! this is keeping me inspired and going
@Brian Kruger it’s easy to get a degree when money isn’t an issue and your life is already set regardless lol
Congratulations 🎉👏 good luck to Ur masters!
@@lifestuff365 thank you !
Wow! Congratulations to your masters journey🙌 you can do it.
I am taking my masters program in environment here in 🇵🇭 as well😉
@Brian Kruger as if all her hard work in writing good music doesn’t need any work. Phd in fine arts, she really deserves the tittle with most of her award winning songs that’s sang all around the world.
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.
Don’t forget Bill Cosby
😌😲
The amount of Easter eggs in this... She basically explained the whole album😂Unbelievable! Definitely a Mastermind😵
Taylor Swift. Remarkable lady who can write beautiful songs and sing them beautifully and also eloquently express her ideas and feelings in the most elegant simple way that hit the core of one's being. Congratulations Dr. Swift!
I'm happy that I can watch her speech online. This is so inspiring. Congratulations Taylor and to all graduating this year -- the class of '22. I'll get there too. I know
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯
Well deserved! And not because she wrote a song called “22” but because her life course has lived the merits of this degree by performing at the top of her craft for 15 years and counting. All the while remaining humble and appreciative which not many people can say whether they are college grads or in general.
Absolutely loved this... everyone in life who is successful pays their dues by working hard while constantly adjusting and changing to be even better. Taylor is the epitome of a transformational leader in her industry. There are things we like and don't like about everyone, but for those detractors who posted here because they do not think she has paid a price, they have not walked in her shoes and lived her life. We all have our ups and downs, challenges and moments of adulation. Kudos to Taylor for all her accomplishments!
Voilà.
LMAO!!!
taylor swift inspires me every day. she is so eloquently spoken and exudes such unspoken confidence and positivity that will always stay with me. she’ll always be a legend, and I’m so proud of her.
This was my graduation day. I'll never forget this day. Taylor's speech was wonderful.
Very smart, i love her phrase Catch and release. You need to learn what to keep and not. Positive attitude of this very smart lady. Salute and respect ! God bless
the scary news is, you are on your own now.
But the cool news is "YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN NOW!!!!!"
god this woman have my whole heart and ahh idk what to say or write or even react. This woman is so extraordinary and I'm so fukcing proud of her I can't even begin to tell!!!
Taylor swift will always be the most well spoken people of our generation. Her strong words and motivation inspire me EVRRY single day. I feel so connected to her and i am forever greatful to have grown up with this strong role model
She is quite a comedian as well surely matured a lot...may she continue to be a great role model.
She's a bad comedian. One of the million things I love about her. 😅
This is a well made speech! So deep, so rich, so nurturing! Congratulations, Taylor! I’m a fan now!
I love that Taylor Swift is a songwriter. I can't sing but I just love music. I am a creative writer. I get a lot of pleasure from listening to music and I wrote poetry as a little girl. I published quite a few poems. I even tried to get into a writing program but I was told they are super competitive.
hey I can sing can we make a deal you write and I will sing
@@shakshi6720 I would love to collaborate with you but I write poetry not songs. I got in to NYU SPS over ten years ago. I graduated in 2015 from another school. NYU is an excellent school though! I got my license and went out driving for an hour today. I feel pretty good. I think Taylor Swift getting an honorary doctorate from NYU is really cool! I think it is cool!
@@41yearoldnewdriver i would love to read your poetries. how?
@@41yearoldnewdriver so you dont think poetry can be made into a song?
@@googleboo9876 I would love to write a song but I write free verse poetry. Taylor Swift is a singer and songwriter. I think it is very cool that she got an honorary doctorate from NYU! NYU is an excellent school. I got into the school of professional studied in 2006. She can put NYU on her resume. I think it's really cool that she is one of the first artists or singer/songwriter like her to do this.
Taylor has simply outdone herself! What a speech! I just keep re-watching it over and over again...
Vice President of Philippines , Leni Robredo was one of the parents who attended that commencement ceremony and listened to you :)
Tapos?
Who gives a f?
literal tears 🫶🏻 i love her so much! she is an inspiration, a role model and someone who i’ll always look up to. i’ve listened to her since 2013, when i was 7… she will never fail to make me smile. i’m beyond proud of her
I need to play this when I’m all down and demotivated. Taylor you ROCK!! Woohoo!🙌🙌🙌✨

wow.....!so nice inspirational commencement speech of my idol TAYLOR SWIFT..so pretty,humble and an inteligent mind...congratulations...!goodluck on your new path of life....i am so proud of you..🥰
Taylor I was listening when I were a teen and I was turning 30! Thanks for Mean which I felt and related to many, often my family who loved and love me still when celebrating and when they are simply being mean. Congratulations, you have always been wise beyond your years and during good times and those when it was a challenging day that took everything to get me out ; eventually to a place I found solitude. A place on top where the trees were do large and dense I could happily , meet someone who shall remai nameless for nearly 15 years, only one I'd remain so long during a park omentum in my life which lasted a year; somehow my situation was so difficult I'd not considered a solution . Typically however there was one and listening mostly to 1989, that was the time period, I'd write poems I wrote to perfection, listened to yours, and realized I was not dying unless I didn't take steps to remove implants, one of which had broken in my body. I had them put in during the time issues began when there were issue of them breaking especially by companies using silicon. Once removed I had to wait 3/4 of a year before I could choose a new pair. It was very difficult to do anything but score from a dealer and get as high as imaginable until the day I had them removed. I already had a new stronger pair to have placed in once the original was completely better. Many nights I'd get so high behind several tress I almost require someone to get me. When I couldn't find someone I'd attempt to stand all the way to Port Authority, including the subway ride. Generally I'd tell the bus driver to Nj to kindly wake me when we reached my stop. When they didn't I'd stay by other family friends. I have my new implants for almost a decade and doing well. Drugs have gotten slowly worse to where they barely can be felt. So thanks for the music you wrote that helped me through. Hopefully Fenty l will soon no longer be added to many drugs and It will be like both 15 years ago and even better back to 15-20 years in hindsight and I was lucky to see! Btw any hardcore drugs, heavy barbiturates , opiates, and numerous benzodiazapine s I did not drive nor do I suggest it. You will very likely wake in the hospital unsure why u are there.
🙏 Congratulations Taylor Swift on your recipient of a Doctorate of Fine Arts! Taylor Swift achieved most of her Successes without this Doctorate , so Taylor Swift proved to us that , we can contribute & be successful without much Paper Qualifications if we just find our Niche! Thank You Taylor & Stay Safe & Stay Grateful! 🕯🌷🌿🌍💖🕊

Imagine Kanye West interrupts and takes the microphone from Taylor when she's just about to give her commencement speech and says: "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Steve Jobs had one of the best commencement speeches of all time!"
Then Taylor is already alert & talk back, "Nah!" 😊
Kanye West honestly is a full of trash
So accurate… I love her so much
Congratulations, Taylor!
