No, Taylor Swift did not go to college as her career took off when she was around 15 and it got sort of hard for her to fit into the college mix.
In 2022, singer Taylor Swift made headlines for receiving an honorary doctorate from New York University. For the unversed, she received her degree in Doctor of Fine Arts. During her big day, Swift looked super excited to collect her degree and was donning the convocation attire with all the cap and gown. Not just that, Swift also delivered a speech that left her fans super emotional for her.
Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in West Reading, Pennsylvania. She attended preschool and kindergarten at the Alvernia Montessori School, which was run by the Bernadine Franciscan sisters. She then transferred to The Wyndcroft School.
Once her family shifted to a rented house in the suburban town of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, there Swift attended Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School. Swift has been interested in the field of music since her younger days and she aspired to follow her passion and she began working towards her goal from the time she was just 9 years old. Swift’s career took off when she was just 15 years old due to which she didn't experience college life.
What did Taylor Swift say in her speech at NYU?
Swift covered many topics such as being chosen as a speaker, her college, letting go, living alongside the cringe, receiving a doctorate from NYU, making mistakes, trying to be too cool to be excited about things, and many more.
Talking about her college, Swift said in her speech, “I never got to have the normal college experience, per se." She then added, “I went to public high school until tenth grade and finished my education doing homeschool work on the floors of airport terminals. Then I went out on the road on a radio tour, which sounds incredibly glamorous but in reality it consisted of a rental car, motels, and my mom and I pretending to have loud mother-daughter fights with each other during boarding so no one would want the empty seat between us on Southwest.”
Swift also gave words of encouragement to her fans and the class of 2022. “Not a single one of us here today has done it alone,” she said. “We are each a patchwork quilt of those who have loved us, those who have believed in our futures, those who showed us empathy and kindness or told us the truth even when it wasn’t easy to hear. … I hope you’ll find your own way to express your gratitude for all the steps and missteps that have led us to this common destination.” Taylor then added, “I won’t tell you what to do because no one likes that." “You can’t carry all things, all grudges, all updates on your ex, all enviable promotions your school bully got at the hedge fund his uncle started. Decide what is yours to hold and let the rest go," she concluded.
