Hi, I'm Taylor.

Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard.

This outfit is much more comfortable.

I would like to say a huge thank you to NYU's Chairman of the Board of Trustees,

Bill Berkley, and all the trustees and members of the board,

NYU's President Andrew Hamilton, Provost Catherine Fleming,

and the faculty and alumni here today who have made this day possible.

I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees, Susan Hockfield and Felix Matos Rodriguez,

who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work.

As for me, I'm 90% sure the main reason I'm here is because I have a song called 22.

And let me just say,

I am elated to be here with you today as we celebrate and graduate New York University's Class of 2022.

Not a single one of us here today has done it alone.

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.

Those who told us we could do it when there was absolutely no proof of that.

read stories to you and taught you to dream

and offered up some moral code of right and wrong for you to try and live by.

Someone tried their best to explain every concept in this insanely complex world to the child

that was you as you asked a bazillion questions like how does the moon work

and why can we eat salad but not grass

and maybe they didn't do it perfectly no one ever can maybe they aren't with us anymore in

that case I hope you'll remember them today

if they are in this stadium 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.

I know that words are supposed to be my thing, but I will never be able to find the words to thank my mom and dad, my brother Austin, for the sacrifices they made every day

so I could go from singing in coffee houses to standing up here with you all today

because no words would ever be enough.

To all the incredible parents, family members, mentors, teachers, allies,

friends and loved ones here today who have supported these students in their pursuit of educational enrichment,

Let me say to you now, welcome to New York.

It's been waiting for you.

I'd like to thank NYU for making me technically, on paper at least, a doctor.

not the type of doctor you would want around in case of an emergency.

Unless your specific emergency was

that you desperately needed to hear a song with a catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section.

Or if your emergency was that you needed a person who can name over 50 breeds of cats in one minute.

I 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 homeschool work on the floors of airport terminals.

Then I went out on the road for 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.

as a kid, I always thought I would go away to college, imagining the posters I would hang on the wall of my freshman dorm.

I even set the ending of my music video from my song Love Story at my fantasy imaginary college,

where I meet a male model reading a book on the grass

and with one single glance we realized we had been in love in our past lives.

Which is exactly what you guys all experienced at some point in the last four years, right?

But I really can't complain about not having a normal college experience to you

because you went to NYU during a global pandemic.

Being essentially locked into your dorms and having to do classes over Zoom, everyone in college during normal times stresses about test scores.

And on top of that, you also had to pass like a thousand COVID tests.

I imagine the idea of a normal college experience was all you wanted to.

But in this case, you and I both learned

that you don't always get all the things in the bag

that you selected from the menu in the delivery surface that is life.

You get what you get.

And as I would like to say to you wholeheartedly, you should be very proud of what you've done with it.

Today, you leave New York University and then go out into the world searching what's next. And so will I.

So as a rule, I try not to give anyone unsolicited advice unless they ask for it.

I'll go into this more later.

I guess I have been officially solicited in this situation to

impart whatever wisdom I might have to tell you things that have helped me so far in my life.

Please bear in mind 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.

And so, you know what you're doing.

you'll do things differently than I did them and for different reasons.

So I won't tell you what to do because no one likes that.

I will, however, give you some life hacks I wish I knew

when I was starting out my dreams of a career and navigating life,

love, pressure, choices, shame, hope, and friendship.

The first of which is, life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once.

Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release.

What I mean by that is, knowing what things to keep and what things to release.

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.

Oftentimes, the good things in your life are lighter anyway, so there's more room for them.

One toxic relationship can outweigh so many wonderful, simple joys.

You get to pick what your life has time and room for. Be discerning.

Secondly, learn to live alongside cringe.

No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe,

you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively.

Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime.

Even the term cringe might someday be deemed cringe.

I promise you, you're probably doing or wearing something right now

that you will look back on later and find revolting and hilarious.

You can't avoid it, so don't try to.

For example, I had a phase where for the entirety of 2012,

I dressed like a 1950s housewife. But you know what?

I was having fun.

Trends and phases are fun.

Looking back and laughing is fun.

And while we're talking about things that make us squirm but really shouldn't,

I'd like to say I'm a big advocate for not hiding your enthusiasm for things.

It seems to me that there is a false stigma around eagerness in our culture of unbothered ambivalence.

This outlook perpetuates the idea that it's not cool to want it.

that people who don't try are fundamentally more chic than people who do.

100

And I wouldn't know because I've been a lot of things, but I've never been an expert on chic, but I'm the one who's up here, so you have to listen to me when I say this.

101

Never be ashamed of trying.

102

Effortlessness is a myth.

103

The people who wanted it the least were the ones I wanted to date and be friends with in high school.

104

The people who want it the most are the people I now hire to work for my company.

105

I started writing songs when I was 12, and since then, it's been the compass guiding my life,

106

and in turn, my life guided my writing.

107

Everything I do is just an extension of my writing, whether it's directing videos or a short film,

108

creating the visuals for a tour, or standing on a stage performing.

109

Everything is connected by my love of the craft.

110

The thrill of working through ideas and narrowing them down and polishing it all up in the end.

111

Editing.

112

Waking up in the middle of the night, throwing out the old idea because you just thought of a new or better one.

113

Or a plot device that ties the whole thing together.

114

There's a reason they call it a hook.

115

Sometimes a string of words just ensnares me and I can't focus on anything until it's been recorded or written down.

116

As a songwriter, I've never been able to sit still or stay in one creative place for too long.

117

I've made and released 11 albums, and in the process, I've switched genre from country to pop to alternative to folk,

118

and this might sound like a very songwriter-centric line of discussion,

119

but in a way, I really do think we are all

120

writers and most of us write in a different voice for different situations.

121

You write differently in your Instagram stories than you do your senior thesis.

122

You send a different type of email to your boss than you do your best friend from home.

123

We are all literary chameleons and I think it's fascinating.

124

It's just a continuation of the idea that we are

125

so many things all the time and I know it can be really overwhelming figuring out who to be and when,

126

who you are now and how to act in order to get where you want to go.

127

I have some good news.

128

It's totally up to you.

129

I have some terrifying news.

130

It's totally up to you.

131

I said to you earlier that I don't ever offer advice unless someone asked me for it and I'll tell you why.

132

As a person who started my very public career at the age of 15, it came with a price.

133

And that price was years of unsolicited advice.

134

Being the youngest person in every room for over a decade meant

135

that I was constantly being issued warnings from older members of the music industry,

136

media, interviewers, executives, and this advice often presented itself as thinly veiled warnings.

137

See, I was a teenager at a time

138

when our society was absolutely obsessed with the idea of having perfect young female role models.

139

It felt like every interview I did included slight barbs by

140

the interviewer about me one day running off the rails and

141

that meant a different thing to every person who said it to me.

142

So I became a young adult while being fed the message

143

that if I didn't make any mistakes all the children of America would grow up to be perfect angels.

144

However if I did slip up the entire earth would fall off its axis

145

and it would be entirely my fault and I would go to pop star jail forever and ever.

146

It was all centered around the idea that mistakes equal failure

147

and ultimately the loss of any chance at a happy or rewarding life.

148

This has not been my experience.

149

My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life.

150

And being embarrassed when you mess up, it's part of the human experience.

151

Getting back up, dusting yourself off, and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that's a gift.

152

The times I was told no or wasn't included, wasn't chosen, didn't win, didn't make the cut.

153

Looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important,

154

if not more crucial than the moments I was told yes.

155

Not being invited to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown made me feel hopelessly lonely.

156

But because I felt alone, I would sit in my room and write the songs that would get me a ticket somewhere else.

157

Having label executives in Nashville tell me

158

that only 35 year old housewives listened to country music

159

and there was no place for a 13 year on their roster made me cry in the car on the way home.

160

But then I'd post my songs on my MySpace. And yes, MySpace.

161

And I would message with other teenagers like me who loved country music, but just didn't have anyone singing from their perspective.

162

Having journalists write in-depth, oftentimes critical pieces about who they perceived me to be

163

made me feel like I was living in some weird simulation, but it also made me look inward to learn about who I actually am.

164

Having the world treat my love life like a spectator sport in which I lose every single game

165

was not a great way to date in my teens and 20s, but it taught me to protect my private life fiercely.

166

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

167

but it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute-by-minute, ever-fluctuating social relevance and likability.

168

Getting canceled on the internet and nearly losing my career gave me an excellent knowledge of all the types of wine.

169

I know I sound like a consummate optimist, but I'm really not.

170

I lose perspective all the time.

171

Sometimes everything just feels completely pointless.

172

I know the pressure of living your life through the lens of perfectionism.

173

And I know that I'm talking to a group of perfectionists because you are here today graduating from NYU.

174

So this might be hard for you to hear.

175

In your life, you will inevitably misspeak,

176

trust the wrong person, underreact, overreact, hurt the people who didn't deserve it,

177

overthink, not think at all, self-sabotage, create a reality where only your experience exists?

178

Ruin perfectly good moments for yourself and others.

179

Deny any wrongdoing.

180

Not take the steps to make it right.

181

Feel very guilty.

182

Let the guilt eat at you.

183

Hit rock bottom.

184

Finally address the pain you caused.

185

Try to do better next time.

186

Rinse.

187

Repeat.

188

And I'm not going to lie, these mistakes will cause you to lose things.

189

I'm trying to tell you that losing things doesn't just mean losing.

190

A lot of the time when we lose things, we gain things too.

191

Now you leave the structure and framework of school and chart your own path.

192

Every choice you make leads to the next choice, which leads to the next, and I know it's hard to know which path to take.

193

There will be times in life where you need to stand up for yourself.

194

Times when the right thing is actually to back down and apologize.

195

Times when the right thing is to fight.

196

Times when the right thing is to turn and run.

197

Sometimes to hold on with all you have.

198

Sometimes to let go with grace.

199

Sometimes the right thing to do is to throw out the old schools of thought in the name of progress and reform.

200

Sometimes the right thing to do is to sit and listen to the wisdom of those who have come before us.

201

How will you know what the right choice is in these crucial moments?

202

You won't.

203

How do I give advice to this many people about their life choices?

204

I won't.

205

The scary news is, you're on your own now.

206

But the cool news is, you're on your own now.

207

I leave you with this.

208

We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition, our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams.

209

And you will screw it up sometimes.

210

So will I.

211

And when I do, you will most likely read about it on the internet.

212

Anyway, hard things will happen to us.

213

We will recover.

214

We will learn from it.

215

We will grow more resilient because of it.

216

And as long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing, we will breathe in, breathe through,

217

breathe deep, and breathe out.

218

And I am a doctor now, so I know how breathing works.

219

I hope you know how proud I am to share this day with you.

220

We're doing this together, so let's just keep dancing like we're the class of 22.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
