"Being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful."

“I was a teenager in the public eye at a time when our society was absolutely obsessed with the idea of having perfect young female role models,” she explained. NYU previously said in a press release: “Taylor Swift is a trailblazing and influential advocate for artists’ rights in the face of exploitation and a forceful global advocate against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.” “But it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute-by-minute, ever-fluctuating social relevance and likability.” “I’m trying to tell you that losing things doesn’t just mean losing. Speaking to MTV way back in 2008, the singer said: “College, to me, I always thought I was going to go.

Find out what 'William Bowery' means and how Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift chose it.

Who Said It: Taylor Swift or a Fortune Cookie? (The Cut)

On Thursday, Taylor Swift became a doctor (the scholarly kind) and delivered a 23-minute commencement speech to NYU's Class of 2022.

Are these rejected Taylor Swift lyrics? And even though I would have accepted a Taylor Swift cover of “Graduation (Friends Forever),” it was nice to hear the sage, sisterly advice she offered the crowd of graduates. Are they promotions for aspirational pillows Taylor is selling on Etsy? Maybe they’re fortune-cookie messages.

Taylor Swift made reference to the negative press she received in 2016 in her NYU graduation speech. Was the singer ever really canceled?

“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 and likability,” Swift shared in her speech. After the negative media attention, Swift released her album, Reputation. Despite not doing any press, the album was highly-successful.
