Taylor Swift Set to Become a Doctor.
The New York University (NYU) is awarding the “All Too Well” singer a well-deserved honorary doctorate degree.
The songstress and mutiple award winner is set to get passed a diploma, a Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, and toss her cap when she addresses the university’s class of 2022 on May 18 at Yankee Stadium, according to a press release from NYU.
Prior to today’s announcement that Swift would become an NYU alum, the university had already given her academic reverence. NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music debuted a new course back in January, focusing on the singer-songwriter’s business and writing practices, as well as how fandom, gender, and race collide in the music industry.
To celebrate her graduation, Taylor recently premiered a new line of merchandise for recent college grads called the “I’m Feeling ’22” graduation collection. Dr. Swift has truly had everything lined up and well thought out. The lineup includes patches and charms to decorate your graduation cap with, party supplies like balloons and cake toppers, and just about everything else an academically inclined Swiftie could want to commemorate the occasion.
In her words: “As a ’22 grad myself, I’ll be stocking up on these *super cute* sweaters with an emblem of Meredith surrounded by the song lyrics “Happy, Free, Confused, and Lonely at the same time.”
Taylor is certainly no stranger to receiving accolades, This hits different though, as it is her first academic award.
