The superstar received an honorary doctorate of fine arts from New York University on Wednesday, blowing kisses as the crowd roared when she walked toward the stage at a packed Yankee Stadium.

Sporting her signature red lipstick and newly awarded honorary robe, Swift joked to the thousands of graduates assembled: B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 90% sure the main reason IB次元官网网址檓 here is because I have a song called 22.

B次元官网网址淚 never got to have a normal college experience per se. I went to public high school until 10th grade and then finished my education doing home school work on the floor of airport terminals,B次元官网网址 Swift said in her commencement speech.

The singer-songwriter, producer and director said that she began her music career at 15, touring different radio stations across the country. She went on to sell more than 100 million albums and won album of the year at the making her the first woman to win the category three times. Her previous wins came in 2010 for B次元官网网址淔earlessB次元官网网址 and 2016 for B次元官网网址1989.B次元官网网址

She winked at the crowd when Jason King of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music mentioned her newly rerecorded albums, including B次元官网网址淔earless.B次元官网网址

Swift shared advice with the class of 2022 but offered the warning that, B次元官网网址淚 in no way feel qualified to tell you what to do. YouB次元官网网址檝e worked and struggled and sacrificed and studied and dreamed your way here today. I wonB次元官网网址檛 tell you what to do because nobody likes that, but I will however give you life hacks for when I was starting out my dreams as a career.

B次元官网网址淣ever be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth,B次元官网网址 she said.

Swift concluded her speech by telling graduates that making mistakes is inevitable but B次元官网网址渨hen 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.

B次元官网网址淚 hope you know how proud I am to share this day with you,B次元官网网址 she said. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e doing this together so letB次元官网网址檚 just keep on dancing like weB次元官网网址檙e the class of 22.B次元官网网址
