Taylor Swift gets honorary doctorate from NYU; asks fans to ’embrace cringe’, netizens hail her address [See Twitter Reactions]
Taylor Swift added another feather to her cap as she was honored with a doctorate degree in fine arts from New York University on Wednesday. She delivered a ceremonial speech at the school’s commencement at Yankee Stadium. “Hi, I’m Taylor. Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable.”
She added, “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.” She also said, “I even set the ending of my music video for my song ‘Love Story’ at my fantasy imaginary college, where I meet a male model reading a book on the grass and with one single glance, we realize we had been in love in our past lives. Which is exactly what you guys all experienced at some point in the last 4 years, right?”
“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,” she stated.
Her speech is getting a lot of reactions from fans. A tweet read, “Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth’—Dr. Taylor Swift ?? @taylorswift13” Another netizen commented, “Life can be heavy especially if you’re trying to carry it all at once” – dr taylor swift” Read another comment, “Being embarrassed when you mess up? that’s part of the human experience. getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it: that’s a gift.” – dr. taylor swift” Have a look at some of the tweets below:
