Watch: Taylor Swift Gives NYU Commencement Speech, Earns Honorary Degree
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 2021 Grammys for her album “folkore,” making her the first person to win the category three times. Her previous wins came in 2010 for “Fearless" and 2016 for “1989.”
She winked at the crowd when Jason King of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music mentioned her newly rerecorded albums, including “Fearless.” Swift shared advice with the class of 2022 but offered the warning that, “I in no way feel qualified to tell you what to do. You've worked and struggled and sacrificed and studied and dreamed your way here today. I won't 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.
“I hope you know how proud I am to share this day with you," she said. “We’re doing this together so let's just keep on dancing like we’re the class of 22.”
