Taylor Swift Receives New York University Honorary Award

Starting an artistic career is not an easy decision, since that path involves a lot of discipline, perseverance and requires all the time in the world, so personal issues and even professional education are left aside, to focus completely on being all a star.

And that is exactly the case of the famous singer of pop American Taylor Swift, who after going in search of a career in the world of music left her studies aside. However, New York University recently fulfilled her dream of wearing a cap and gown like a graduate upon receiving a Ph.D. honorary cause.

doctorates honorary cause they are honorary titles that universities, academies or colleges give to famous people who have excelled in certain fields that do not necessarily have to do with an educational career.

As a tribute to his musical career in which he has sold more than 100 million records, in addition to rewarding his support for copyright causes, his constant fight against discrimination and gender violence, as well as the support that has provided science in search of a cure for cancer, a few weeks ago the University of New York (NYU, for its acronym in English), released a statement informing that they would award the singer a doctorate honorary cause.

CONGRATULATIONS, TAY! 💜

Miss Swift is one of the most prolific and celebrated artists of her generation. She is the only female artist in history to win the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year (AOTY), three times. She is the only solo artist this century to have three #1 albums in one year.

– Official statement from NYU.

The initiative to pay tribute to Taylor Swift arose after a course was taught at the University facilities that had to do with the musical legacy, which was in charge of the journalist Brittany Spanos, who works for the magazine rolling stone.

The doctorate awarded to the 32-year-old singer was a dream come true, since because she studied either from home or on planes to tour, she never had the opportunity to wear a uniform.

Wearing cap and gown for the first time, see you soon NYU.

– Wrote Taylor Swift on Instagram.

This is how this Wednesday, May 18, Taylor Swift attended the delivery of her recognition by the University of New York, a ceremony that took place at the Yankees baseball stadium, in which the interpreter of You Belong With Me gave a speech to the Class of 2022.

The last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a sparkly leotard. This set is much more comfortable.

I know it can be really overwhelming to figure out who to be and when. Who are you now and how to act to get where you want to go. I have good news: it’s totally up to you. I also have some scary news: It’s totally up to you.

– Taylor Swift

Giving thanks to the University authorities for the doctorate they awarded her, the 32-year-old interpreter took the opportunity to thank her parents and her brother Austin for the sacrifices they made for her every day, since thanks to them she managed to go from singing in coffee shops to being in front of all that audience that day.

Singer pop was not the only one recognized during the event, since during the ceremony an honorary title was also given to Judith Hermann, to recognize her hard work and remarkable defense of the rights of the disabled.
