@Bill Zardus ?? Your choosing verbal confusion and violence is your ego perpetuating the idea that the world is going to hell. There is wisdom in this video if you care to listen.
She does it so well because she practices. If you want that skill, put in the work. She wasn't born that way. She made herself into that confident woman.
1. I guess she wrote speech by herself, so she knew the text 2. I also guess she trained it beforehand 3. She is used to stand in front of an audience 4. She had a teleprompter (those two mirrors sliding up right before she entered the speakers desk, so she had a safety net You can learn all of these skills needed for public speaking - except for the teleprompter - at Toastmasters International. Go, look for a club near you and join a meeting. It will change your live …
I didn't skip or fast-forward any sentence during the entire speech. She is down-to-earth yet incredibly inspiring and intelligent. Listening to her address is like talking to a wise friend. Congrats, Dr. Taylor, and graduates all over the world. 👏👏👏
How is it possible to remember the whole speech? 20mins without hesitation. Can someone teach me to remember like she does? Can Taylor teach us? *0* I am sooo admired by her and her speech, love
14 minutes of free speech are possible to give, if you train a little. If you are a professional singer/songwriter, speaking about own experiences, 20 minutes are not that big of a deal.
The KZclip search engine is a flippin nightmare now. I pay $12 a month so I wont see KZclip ads but the search engine gives me a handful of relevant results and everything else is completely unrelated. We used to get page after page of relevant search results but those days are over. The internet was sooooo much better 10 years ago. Sad. WRZ 2023-01-07
@Drew B maybe that's possible but don't.she incorporated her own experiences and put in references to her hits that was something Taylor memorized from heart
“ my experience has been that my mistakes Led to the best things in my life and being embarrassed when you mess up is part of the human experience. Getting back up and dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterword and laugh about it ; that’s a gift. “ these words really touched my heart today. Beautiful. “ 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.
"It only hurts this much right now" That's what I was thinking the whole time BREATHE IN, BREATHE THROUGH, BREATHE DEEP, BREATHE OUT I'll be getting over you my whole life" - from track 10 'Labyrinth' (10th studio album 'Midnights') by Taylor Swift. Doctor of Fine Arts is another thing to prove that she is incrediably talented
If you are still wondering why after so many years in the industry and yet the name “Taylor Swift” is never fading, because she is intelligent and compassionate woman. She was born to make a difference.
More like she went down the same road Katy Perry and others have. SIGNED THEIR SOUL.OVER TO THE DEVIL IN BLOOD FOR FAME. WHAT STUPID FOOLS, WAIT TILL PAYDAY
@Christina Cascadilla That's because you hear what you want to hear. And listening to all her insipid music has probably made you a lot more simple minded than the average person.
Taylor is classic, and brilliant. Education is more than just a degree on paper. This young lady spoke like someone with more than 3 doctorate degrees.
Totally awesome Taylor. I just recently completed a four year degree. I am sixty eight years old and just now going for my Master's Degree. Congratulations, Nice Work.
@Zachary W No, not for being a celeb but received it for the immense and immensely successful and brilliant body of work she has achieved by just age 33.
@Zachary W An Honorary Degree is given to artists that have impacted and significantly contributed to their field. She wasn't given an honorary degree for being a popular celebrity, but for her contributions to mainstream pop music.
@thezone so other people would work their ass off and have to scrounge up tons of tuition but Taylor gets a degree in something she DIDN'T EVEN STUDY. Its kinda offensive to the people who actually put the work in. No shame for her rising to be a celeb but she can't just be handed a degree for it.
Hello. Sorry to invade your privacy. I am an academic writer. And I can help you out with your assignments. I got a wide experience in various disciplines.
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 💞
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
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.
Amazing speech by Taylor Swift! To have such talent and still be a down-to-earth person is rare to find now-a-days! I liked the way she began and ended her speech like a story!
WOW, one of THE BEST commencement speeches EVER. So much wisdom AND great, therapist-worthy advice! Yet she's confident while still being vulnerable. Heartfelt, funny, down to earth. My fellow NF (myers-briggs type), we follow our heart and our intuition. Thank you for being so real.
I would like to thank the singer, the songwriter and the composer Taylor Swift for making that speech. I realized that I needed to hear some specific sentences. She is so wise. I esteem and I appreciate the way she declared some statements. Thank you so much.
That "catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section" damn it's her "ANTI-HERO" song that totally got me. No wonder why everyone is so relate from the first lines of this iconic song. And she did broke the internet, what a legendary song Tay 👏💯🥰😍💖
I imagine phrases from this speech echoing back to these alumni all throughout their lives, encouraging them to shake off mistakes and knowing when it’s time to go.
There might have been a speech prepared but Taylor added in references to her hits and her own personal experiences and struggles in her career like being nearly been cancelled on the internet and nearly losing her career and keeping her personal life private
Well Taylor is like that she read a speech beforehand add in her own parts and memorize it even with out any notes She's like that in everything she does She's known for writing songs from memory
She's a well-spoken woman. Can't feel more grateful to look on her for everything that I need to learn. Can't say with words the feeling I've got to know that million of people listen to her and that they're getting advices of life.
Her eloquence, depth of character and wisdom is really unfathomable for someone still so young. Her experiences and drive in life makes her so deserving of this Doctorate!!! Brava Dr. Taylor Swift👏🏼 Someone with so much more to give! I can’t wait…
Do you feel the urge, too, to be part of the crowd where Miss Taylor is talking in front of you with those wonderful words of wisdom? I could never ask for more. She's so sincere. She's a free spirit, an unimaginably far to catch star but with her like this, it's like talking to her face to face. She is my songstress, I was bewitched by her, and I am so glad it's her I idolize and admire. She means a lot to me, her songs, too, actually. Let the fire of arts burn within you forever, Miss Tay. We will be always here for you, and I will always lit the fire burning in me as I watched your every move. Love you Miss Tay! 💓💓💓💕💕
26:21 she dropped an easter egg. She said "You're on your own now" and yesterday she revealed the tracklist for Midnights with track 5 named "You're on your own kid " . This woman never fails to blow my mind. She's so cool, that makes me hate her so much...
lol, here after the album release, the whole thing about losing things also rly reminded me of the line « every thing you lose is a step u take » in yoyok
She's very smart, those are some of the most useful modern advices l've heard from a successful person. I'm very proud to be in the same generation as her.
@Kyle Trimbach but its actually good though, we need to retrospect the others who are willing to do bets than aspiring for others’ presence who actually don’t want to be in business with us.. if you do, your just projecting yourself as desperate when the opportunity is right in front of you. Hence, taylor perfectly encapsulates that scenario with her own personal experience.
Taylor needs to be a motivational speaker lol 😂 so many other “motivational” videos online are so stressful cause they just scream at you and speak aggressively
Taylor just used part of the script along with her experiences in getting to where she today, she thanked the college for giving her the honor and praising the other recipients by saying how their work had enriched everyone, she of course thanked her mom and dad and brother for the sarcfices they made so she could from playing coffee houses to being with the graduates today, which shows how humble she is she also threw in references to of her hits like 22 and welcome to New York even to watch it is awe inspiring. I'd say there's isn't too many people who could put a speech like that and not stutter or cough
Really love the way she speaks. Just soothing us, Wow! Always motivate every spirit. I know she deserves many things. But this is one of the best things in her whole life. 🙌🏻❤ "I’m a doctor now, so I know how breathing works" - Best of luck queen!😎✨
Huh! She is wise. Wasn't exactly crazy about her or her music though didn't disapprove of her either- but extremely glad that she's firmly rooted on the ground and being herself. Refreshing to see this breed of celebs.
She's a rarity, even when she's doing a concert, she introduces her her backing singers or dancers then she finishes up by say hi I'm Taylor she's down to earth in everything she does, She hasn't let success get to her
it’s so inspiring! i burst into tears several times just because I suddenly got emotional. it touched the hearts of those who wanted to hear that. thank you, taylor 💗A true role model!
Sometimes losing things doesn't just mean losing, sometimes when we lose things we gain things too....I can't imagine my life without you Taylor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Taylor, you've made this world a better place, you've inspired millions of people. being a doctor and at some time making in the music world isn't simple.be blessed and keep soaring higher Taylor.
From hearing her songs to her motivational speech is a new kind of experience to learn for teen like me who's still just studying making my way where Taylor is now❤
The most relatable Queen ever..i didn't knw i needed to hear these things.. Sometimes i feel like she is just like us which tbh makes me happy that I'm not alone in those difficult and confused moments..The way she frame her words and sentences with confidence n humor.. it's so beautiful, I can feel so much honesty and authenticity from her words.. I just love her so much as a person, how she is, her mind, her humor, her creativity, her softness, her down to earth nature, literally everything.. N the plus point is she really2 makes the best music too.. What a Queen you are Taylor, no one like you, Your existence makes the world a much better place, your forever fan #swiftiesforever❤️ (p.s I have watched this like multiple times but never actually comment on it so felt like I needed to😂)
Wow, based AF speech. The first part made me tear up thinking of my mom who's no longer with us. I loved every minute of this speech. Thank you, Taylor...I needed this today. Huge fan of you, your work ,and your music. You're so friggin iconic and based. 💞💖🔥🔥💝💝💝💝
With Midnight's success, there is just really no doubt how she mastered her craft. What an amazing woman. Proud to be swiftie for 15 yrs and counting now. 💜💜💜
you know the moment when you are so grateful for one person bcs she exists at the same time as you and you cry, this is what i am doing right now while staring at her. looking back to my high school years, i always felt inferior but when i found taylor, she taught me abt a lot of things and one of those was confidence. confidence to be yourself & do what want to do with actually overthinking or not thinking everyone's opinion if you do something. let the journey in your own hands and satisfaction. be kind and live your dream bcs nothing is impossible. i love her so much, such an inspiration. taylor, you are a legend!
I'm back here again, need some motivation, 1:15 you could really see how much that recognition and appreciation touched her she almost look like she was about to cry. It felt like the "moment" were she finally receive what she deserved after all that backlash and the misunderstandings that happened with her career. Love her as always
When you speak with such honesty and truth mostly derived from your own life experience, you don't even have to memorize those words. Taylor is such a genuine artist which brought her to where she is today and she will continue to inspire and motivate many generations to come.
WOOOHOOOO YESSS I LOVE YOU TAYLORRR I actually learned a lot from this speech and realized I'm not alone, never have been, and never will. even when i feel like it, i am surrounded by people who have and probably feel like i do, were all just trying to get through life and achieve our dreams. we can do it together and in a way, all mistakes and "failures" are beautiful! ❤❤❤❤
Teleprompters or not, undoubtedly she wrote her own speech and presented it like a professional. I am 77 years old and gained a lot of insight, and added respect for Dr. Swift.
In the beginning of the video Taylor made me cry and throughout the video she made me laugh.😂😂 How can she keep a poker face? I just love her, She's the best, So proud of her Doctorate degree. She is the most beautiful, funny, sweet, caring DOCTOR & ROLEMODEL
Wow. I always know she is smart but her speech demonstrates her deep thoughts, her maturity and her integrity. Lots of music oldies dispice Taylor but I admire her courage. Her success is hard work w the guts to stand outside the norm. Congratulations.
That's very true I'd say even if they don't like Taylor's music, you'd have do admire her courage in not lying down when people were trying to destroy her career
Listening to Dr.Taylor since I was 14 and now 28 she really just keeps me going day after day. All through school and now through my career. She will forever be my idol and I can't wait to see what she puts out by the time im in my 70's. She is a legend.
I never stop admiring and loving her more... she's the best kind of friend and she always acts and speaks familiar... like she's family... and to me she always will be
She's so amazing it really made me feel good, her words are what you don't want to hear but she says them in a way that doesn't seem so bad, even if it's bad she makes it look like.The best I'm happy I heard everything
When I think of the expression “won the genetic lottery” I think of Taylor first as the epitome of that saying. At age 32, she has lived her life to it’s fullest potential. What does the future hold for her? Anything is possible!
"Winning the genetic lottery" has nothing to do with anything except her natural good looks. Everything else she's accomplished is purely and completely the result of her own brilliance, resolve and persistence. She's worked so hard for this for so long and we could not be more proud of her! 💙
She is a Gift. We are "obliged" to listen, hear and be inspired by these kind of people. To grow. No one is omitted. I am starting (yes, starting even in my middleage) to be impressed by these people. Taylor is standing beside Steve Jobs, Arnold Swarzenegger, David Steindl-Rast, Richard Rohr and others i like. I am thinking about someone from my country, but i remember only one person so far who could be compared, Vaclav Havel. They speak directly from the heart to the heart. Amazing. Wonderful. Well and moreover she is so pretty of course!
the fact the she referenced her new album in the commencement speech is iconic.
The fact that she references planning for Era's Tour is sicKENING
she's giving people what they want, and engaging with them. easter eggs for her fans. she has to speak anyway so i don't mind it
She does it like every speech
This chick gets on my nerves
It’s called a plug. Definitely smart, but hardly iconic.
This woman is always prepared. That's one of the big reasons for her success.
@Heartlights Entertainment Not being a real person? what kind of drugs are you on
@vic no she did a great job but why wouldn't she?
@K N I don't think she made any mistakes when talking and she didn't seem nervous now shut up
why would she not be prepared for this
She’s very smart and works hard. And very humble. The secret to anyone’s success.
It's remarkable how thoughtful and inspiring her words are, and the fact she speaks without reading from a script makes it even more incredible
@Alivia Naomi
Let me know when she writes: "Soon I'll get better", genius.
@Bill Zardus Yes, specifically songs like “Soon You’ll Get Better”.
@Alivia Naomi
Did she talk about how much she hates the last man to break up with her ?
All her songs are the same flippin bumble gum music.
@Bill Zardus ?? Your choosing verbal confusion and violence is your ego perpetuating the idea that the world is going to hell. There is wisdom in this video if you care to listen.
This is just further proof the world really is going to hell.
She is so peaceful while giving the speech like no anxiety no unbalanced breathing no slipping of wordsss ahh I wanna give speeches like her😭
She does it so well because she practices. If you want that skill, put in the work. She wasn't born that way. She made herself into that confident woman.
@Iran Dude if you know anything about Taylor swift you know she wrote this speech.
1. I guess she wrote speech by herself, so she knew the text
2. I also guess she trained it beforehand
3. She is used to stand in front of an audience
4. She had a teleprompter (those two mirrors sliding up right before she entered the speakers desk, so she had a safety net
You can learn all of these skills needed for public speaking - except for the teleprompter - at Toastmasters International. Go, look for a club near you and join a meeting. It will change your live …
@Iran Dude how tf does being the president correlates with her being a songwriter?
practice. but you have to start small.
I didn't skip or fast-forward any sentence during the entire speech. She is down-to-earth yet incredibly inspiring and intelligent. Listening to her address is like talking to a wise friend. Congrats, Dr. Taylor, and graduates all over the world. 👏👏👏
How is it possible to remember the whole speech? 20mins without hesitation. Can someone teach me to remember like she does? Can Taylor teach us? *0* I am sooo admired by her and her speech, love
*0*
14 minutes of free speech are possible to give, if you train a little. If you are a professional singer/songwriter, speaking about own experiences, 20 minutes are not that big of a deal.
The KZclip search engine is a flippin nightmare now.
I pay $12 a month so I wont see KZclip ads but the search engine gives me
a handful of relevant results and everything else is completely unrelated.
We used to get page after page of relevant search results but those days are over.
The internet was sooooo much better 10 years ago. Sad.
WRZ 2023-01-07
@Drew B maybe that's possible but don't.she incorporated her own experiences and put in references to her hits
that was something Taylor memorized from heart
You can tell she's reading something.. Like something what news anchors read on TV..
“ my experience has been that my mistakes Led to the best things in my life and being embarrassed when you mess up is part of the human experience. Getting back up and dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterword and laugh about it ; that’s a gift. “
these words really touched my heart today. Beautiful.
“ 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.
@maggie briguera firstly. It's not LOSSER but loser. Thank me later 😉
@Jasmine's Aesthetics SOUR LOSSER GET LOST
@Jasmine's Aesthetics L
Well only Taylor can do give a speech like that
it was so down to earth how she had to fight for everything and look at now
Great.... copied and pasted actually
I've watched this speech LIVE and every day since then. I'm just so proud and inspired!
This is just further proof the world really is going to hell.
Thank you so much..
I'm black 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Nice speech!
are u also an nyu graduate? if so congrats!:)
“I’m a doctor now so I know how breathing works” 😂💖
@MUSAIB BILAL she hinted about Labyrinth and You're On Your Own, Kid Without all of us actually knowing it would be on her 10th Studio Album lmao
😂
As if MDs really know how breathing works...
I heard that too ，that's a good one
@Maggie you're on your own kid was the one
"It only hurts this much right now"
That's what I was thinking the whole time
BREATHE IN, BREATHE THROUGH, BREATHE DEEP, BREATHE OUT
I'll be getting over you my whole life" - from track 10 'Labyrinth' (10th studio album 'Midnights') by Taylor Swift.
Doctor of Fine Arts is another thing to prove that she is incrediably talented
If you are still wondering why after so many years in the industry and yet the name “Taylor Swift” is never fading, because she is intelligent and compassionate woman. She was born to make a difference.
I definitely agree
@Melania Arnett Thank you. I'm A Jesus Freak. Your pretty much done for.
@T Wolak GROW UP YOU RELIGIOUS NUT
@T WolakLmao what
More like she went down the same road Katy Perry and others have. SIGNED THEIR SOUL.OVER TO THE DEVIL IN BLOOD FOR FAME. WHAT STUPID FOOLS, WAIT TILL PAYDAY
Better than a lot of commencement speeches I’ve heard.
Totally agree. She gave them a slice of life in the real world 🌎
@Christina Cascadilla
That's because you hear what you want to hear.
And listening to all her insipid music has probably
made you a lot more simple minded than the average person.
@Bill Zardus no, she was better than Steve Jobs at Stanford.
Yeah but grammar school commencement doesn't count, genius.
@Sameer Balyan convince me
Taylor is classic, and brilliant. Education is more than just a degree on paper. This young lady spoke like someone with more than 3 doctorate degrees.
Totally awesome Taylor. I just recently completed a four year degree. I am sixty eight years old and just now going for my Master's Degree. Congratulations, Nice Work.
Job well done!!
@Zachary W HONORAY .. MEANS JUIST THAT YOU . TRY LEARNING SOMETHING

I’m pushing 40, med school graduate, mother of 3. Yet Tay can inspire me like never before ❤️
HEY! look at what you've done for yourself. That's really awesome. I bet your family is so proud of you.
Hello. Sorry to invade your privacy. I am an academic writer. And I can help you out with your assignments. I got a wide experience in various disciplines.
Really proud of you cool stranger ❤️
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.

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 💞
Wow that's great. I like to share those words with my family cuz they don't understand my admiration for Taylor Swift..
I love how Taylor delivered her speech with some jokes but also shared a powerful word of wisdom. I love you Taylor. Big fan here🙋🏻♀️💗✨
I’m literally filled with so much motivation and inspiration after listening to her speech. I’m so proud of her.
I yesterday was angry toward her
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
@PALUMBO DEJVID if that's a joke it's in bad taste,
It's both hurtful to Taylor and joe
This made me cry & smile and struck so many chords.
This woman is a LEGEND🔥
So proud to be alive in the same generation as her ❤
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.
so did the beatles....na na na na nana na na nanna na na hey jude...again...again:): opps i think that was 7 mins
Congratulations! On your doctorate! A memorable speech for those in audience.
The most fluent and profound speech I've ever watched. Makes me feel she's been living this world third or fourth. Amazing young woman.
Amazing speech by Taylor Swift! To have such talent and still be a down-to-earth person is rare to find now-a-days! I liked the way she began and ended her speech like a story!
WOW, one of THE BEST commencement speeches EVER. So much wisdom AND great, therapist-worthy advice! Yet she's confident while still being vulnerable. Heartfelt, funny, down to earth. My fellow NF (myers-briggs type), we follow our heart and our intuition. Thank you for being so real.
I am mesmerized while getting goosebumps hearing her deliver her speech. She's is exemplary in what she does.
I would like to thank the singer, the songwriter and the composer Taylor Swift for making that speech. I realized that I needed to hear some specific sentences. She is so wise. I esteem and I appreciate the way she declared some statements. Thank you so much.
That "catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section" damn it's her "ANTI-HERO" song that totally got me. No wonder why everyone is so relate from the first lines of this iconic song. And she did broke the internet, what a legendary song Tay 👏💯🥰😍💖
I imagine phrases from this speech echoing back to these alumni all throughout their lives, encouraging them to shake off mistakes and knowing when it’s time to go.
I see what you did there 👀
So awesome! She didn't read the script and can remember all the lines so well!
there was any speech for Taylor to refer to,
she had it memorized well before hand
There might have been a speech prepared but Taylor added in references to her hits and her own personal experiences and struggles in her career like being nearly been cancelled on the internet and nearly losing her career
and keeping her personal life private
@MrWarning well don't forget she sings all her songs from memory
Well Taylor is like that she read a speech beforehand add in her own parts and memorize it even with out any notes
She's like that in everything she does
She's known for writing songs from memory
My preference has always been for canine mascots like UGA; hope UW Seattle is successful for me
She's a well-spoken woman. Can't feel more grateful to look on her for everything that I need to learn. Can't say with words the feeling I've got to know that million of people listen to her and that they're getting advices of life.
Her eloquence, depth of character and wisdom is really unfathomable for someone still so young. Her experiences and drive in life makes her so deserving of this Doctorate!!! Brava Dr. Taylor Swift👏🏼 Someone with so much more to give! I can’t wait…
Do you feel the urge, too, to be part of the crowd where Miss Taylor is talking in front of you with those wonderful words of wisdom? I could never ask for more. She's so sincere. She's a free spirit, an unimaginably far to catch star but with her like this, it's like talking to her face to face. She is my songstress, I was bewitched by her, and I am so glad it's her I idolize and admire. She means a lot to me, her songs, too, actually. Let the fire of arts burn within you forever, Miss Tay. We will be always here for you, and I will always lit the fire burning in me as I watched your every move. Love you Miss Tay! 💓💓💓💕💕
Everyone of her speech resides something or the other in everyone’s heart
26:21 she dropped an easter egg. She said "You're on your own now" and yesterday she revealed the tracklist for Midnights with track 5 named "You're on your own kid " . This woman never fails to blow my mind. She's so cool, that makes me hate her so much...
You are so gorgeous
lol, here after the album release, the whole thing about losing things also rly reminded me of the line « every thing you lose is a step u take » in yoyok
AND THE RECENTLY RELEASED LYRICS ---BREATHE IN BREATHE THROUGH BREATHE DEEP BREATHE OUT
She's very smart, those are some of the most useful modern advices l've heard from a successful person. I'm very proud to be in the same generation as her.
this is by far the only celebrity related thing that motivated me to get my shit together and actually try
@Kyle Trimbach but its actually good though, we need to retrospect the others who are willing to do bets than aspiring for others’ presence who actually don’t want to be in business with us.. if you do, your just projecting yourself as desperate when the opportunity is right in front of you. Hence, taylor perfectly encapsulates that scenario with her own personal experience.
“The people who didn’t want are the ones I wanted to date in HS. The ones who did want are the ones I hire now.” Terribly convicting.

Taylor needs to be a motivational speaker lol 😂 so many other “motivational” videos online are so stressful cause they just scream at you and speak aggressively
@Douglas Walker nope i have not heard of that person before
Taylor just used part of the script along with her experiences in getting to where she today,
she thanked the college for giving her the honor and praising the other recipients by saying how their work had enriched everyone,
she of course thanked her mom and dad and brother for the sarcfices they made so she could from playing coffee houses to being with the graduates today,
which shows how humble she is
she also threw in references to of her hits like 22 and welcome to New York
even to watch it is awe inspiring.
I'd say there's isn't too many people who could put a speech like that and not stutter or cough
Really love the way she speaks. Just soothing us, Wow! Always motivate every spirit. I know she deserves many things. But this is one of the best things in her whole life. 🙌🏻❤
"I’m a doctor now, so I know how breathing works" - Best of luck queen!😎✨
I always keep coming back for motivation . The way she motivates so many of us I mean is she even aware of it . This will live rent free in my mind .
“Welcome to New York, It’s been waiting for you” I SCREAMED HAHAH THIS WOMAN IS A GENIUS IN FACT
I bet in your wildest dreams would she do that.
I want to re-watch this every year, the message is so powerful and so moving!
I feel so proud to have grown up with her in my generation. Taylor is incredibly inspiring.
Huh! She is wise. Wasn't exactly crazy about her or her music though didn't disapprove of her either- but extremely glad that she's firmly rooted on the ground and being herself. Refreshing to see this breed of celebs.
She's a rarity,
even when she's doing a concert,
she introduces her her backing singers or dancers
then she finishes up by say hi I'm Taylor
she's down to earth in everything she does,
She hasn't let success get to her
She’s a philosopher.
I’m so thankful that I have grown with her
What a wonderful and inspiring woman
it’s so inspiring! i burst into tears several times just because I suddenly got emotional. it touched the hearts of those who wanted to hear that. thank you, taylor 💗A true role model!
I've watched this speech so many times, it's my go-to when I'm anxious or have a panic attack. Mama Swift is always here to the rescue.
i'm not even a fan but that was an AMAZING speech, not many people can pull that off so effortlessly as well. i wanna be like this someday
Her voice is so sweet and easy to hear. She definitely has many precious experiences which she told all students at NYU.
Sometimes losing things doesn't just mean losing, sometimes when we lose things we gain things too....I can't imagine my life without you Taylor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

An inspiring speech by Dr. Taylor Swift. Very inspiring when you study. All my congratulations Taylor. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is out of this world brilliant speech! So much respect and love for you Taylor! One of the best graduating speeches I’ve listened to! ❤️
Wow, this one made me cry so hard, I love her so much and I am insanely proud of her
Taylor, you've made this world a better place, you've inspired millions of people. being a doctor and at some time making in the music world isn't simple.be blessed and keep soaring higher Taylor.
"Everything is connected to my writing." Me, too! And I, too, believe "We are all writers." We are writing the multiple stories of our lives.
From hearing her songs to her motivational speech is a new kind of experience to learn for teen like me who's still just studying making my way where Taylor is now❤
I love this sm! bawling my eyes out as her words hits home!! love you and congrats Dr. Taylor Swift!!!
The most relatable Queen ever..i didn't knw i needed to hear these things.. Sometimes i feel like she is just like us which tbh makes me happy that I'm not alone in those difficult and confused moments..The way she frame her words and sentences with confidence n humor.. it's so beautiful, I can feel so much honesty and authenticity from her words.. I just love her so much as a person, how she is, her mind, her humor, her creativity, her softness, her down to earth nature, literally everything.. N the plus point is she really2 makes the best music too.. What a Queen you are Taylor, no one like you, Your existence makes the world a much better place, your forever fan #swiftiesforever❤️
(p.s I have watched this like multiple times but never actually comment on it so felt like I needed to😂)
Wow, based AF speech. The first part made me tear up thinking of my mom who's no longer with us. I loved every minute of this speech. Thank you, Taylor...I needed this today. Huge fan of you, your work ,and your music. You're so friggin iconic and based. 💞💖🔥🔥💝💝💝💝
Brilliant, amazing, a very inspiring and informative speech, humble and cheering .. I love how she delivery the speech...
With Midnight's success, there is just really no doubt how she mastered her craft. What an amazing woman. Proud to be swiftie for 15 yrs and counting now. 💜💜💜
Effortlessness is a myth.....
She is a great motivational speaker too.
16:04 the whole speech is amazing but this part will always be my favorite 💜
“we are all literary chameleons and I think it’s fascinating.” how does she do that🤧💗
Best speech I've ever heard!! I mean Taylor is really the queen!! She definitely won a million hearts 💖 including mine
you know the moment when you are so grateful for one person bcs she exists at the same time as you and you cry, this is what i am doing right now while staring at her. looking back to my high school years, i always felt inferior but when i found taylor, she taught me abt a lot of things and one of those was confidence. confidence to be yourself & do what want to do with actually overthinking or not thinking everyone's opinion if you do something. let the journey in your own hands and satisfaction. be kind and live your dream bcs nothing is impossible. i love her so much, such an inspiration. taylor, you are a legend!
This is literally the commencement speech that I want to speak and want to hear over and over again. A very proud Swiftie here😉✨
I am so proud having grown up listening to her music, and now stepping into a new phase of my life listening to her commencement speech 🎓
I'm back here again, need some motivation, 1:15 you could really see how much that recognition and appreciation touched her she almost look like she was about to cry. It felt like the "moment" were she finally receive what she deserved after all that backlash and the misunderstandings that happened with her career. Love her as always
Taylor Swift 🖤 This is the most inspiring and motivating speech I've ever heard 🙌🏻 Congratulations 🎉 More success you Dr. Taylor Swift 👏🏻
This speech have made me inspire and gave the confidence to speak at public events more than anything else.
Thank you Taylor
When you speak with such honesty and truth mostly derived from your own life experience, you don't even have to memorize those words.
Taylor is such a genuine artist which brought her to where she is today and she will continue to inspire and motivate many generations to come.
Omg, not only her speech but the crowd giving applause to her was so incredible
Always adore Taylor Swift. Her songs are inspiring and clean morally, so acceptable across the globe.
WOOOHOOOO YESSS I LOVE YOU TAYLORRR I actually learned a lot from this speech and realized I'm not alone, never have been, and never will. even when i feel like it, i am surrounded by people who have and probably feel like i do, were all just trying to get through life and achieve our dreams. we can do it together and in a way, all mistakes and "failures" are beautiful! ❤❤❤❤
Teleprompters or not, undoubtedly she wrote her own speech and presented it like a professional. I am 77 years old and gained a lot of insight, and added respect for Dr. Swift.
In the beginning of the video Taylor made me cry and throughout the video she made me laugh.😂😂 How can she keep a poker face? I just love her, She's the best, So proud of her Doctorate degree. She is the most beautiful, funny, sweet, caring DOCTOR & ROLEMODEL
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she is such a skilled public speaker with all of her stage experience, but I am still blown away by this speech.
Wow. I always know she is smart but her speech demonstrates her deep thoughts, her maturity and her integrity. Lots of music oldies dispice Taylor but I admire her courage. Her success is hard work w the guts to stand outside the norm. Congratulations.
Absolutely amazing. I had no idea Taylor was so accomplished and captivating. What a wonderful speech.
I'm so proud of her💕💕💕
Best decision in life is becoming a Swiftie when I'm a kid.
That's very true
I'd say even if they don't like Taylor's music,
you'd have do admire her courage in not lying down when people were trying to destroy her career
When the Doctor wants to shake her hand but she gave him a big hug is just pure happiness ❤️
She’s brilliant. I have nothing more to say 👏🏽
It’s definitely a #classicof2022❤ Thank you Taylor for telling us the perspectives you earn in your life! You’re my angel
She deserveeeeeed it! Such an inspiration!
Listening to Dr.Taylor since I was 14 and now 28 she really just keeps me going day after day. All through school and now through my career. She will forever be my idol and I can't wait to see what she puts out by the time im in my 70's. She is a legend.
Listened to the whole speech & she is amazing❤️ Of course she is my fav pop star & she is always amazing 🥳🥂
I never stop admiring and loving her more... she's the best kind of friend and she always acts and speaks familiar... like she's family... and to me she always will be
Damn, can you imagine Taylor Swift being the speaker at your graduation? That would be freaking amazing I would freak out
Im not part of NYU but it feels that Taylor speak for all of students around the world...
She’s just such an amazing woman!🙌🏻 💖
in fact, she gave us the first spoiler of her new album release in this speech, but we couldn't understand it
What a genius!!
She's so amazing it really made me feel good, her words are what you don't want to hear but she says them in a way that doesn't seem so bad, even if it's bad she makes it look like.The best I'm happy I heard everything
She is my role model. I love her. Most inspiring ,TS ❤️
When I think of the expression “won the genetic lottery” I think of Taylor first as the epitome of that saying. At age 32, she has lived her life to it’s fullest potential. What does the future hold for her? Anything is possible!
"Winning the genetic lottery" has nothing to do with anything except her natural good looks. Everything else she's accomplished is purely and completely the result of her own brilliance, resolve and persistence. She's worked so hard for this for so long and we could not be more proud of her! 💙
For such a young person Taylor has learned a lot of great lessons and Wisdom to give to others❤ I surely can Respect her for that !!
she is so motivational!!! 💛
I was clapping again and again as she gave her speech, when she completed her speech, I was alone sitting in my room watching KZclip video
This is so inspiring
She is a Gift. We are "obliged" to listen, hear and be inspired by these kind of people. To grow. No one is omitted. I am starting (yes, starting even in my middleage) to be impressed by these people. Taylor is standing beside Steve Jobs, Arnold Swarzenegger, David Steindl-Rast, Richard Rohr and others i like. I am thinking about someone from my country, but i remember only one person so far who could be compared, Vaclav Havel. They speak directly from the heart to the heart. Amazing. Wonderful. Well and moreover she is so pretty of course!
