"I have some good news: It's totally up to you. I have some terrifying news: It's totally up to you," she added, dressed in a purple robe and black mortarboard at the graduation ceremony in Yankee Stadium. She praised the graduates for taking on the challenge of attending college during a pandemic. "Never be ashamed of trying - effortlessness is a myth," Swift said.

Yep... Let that sink in.

it’s like a slap in the face to all those students who actually EARNED their degree and didn’t just get one for being a teen pop singer

Won’t hear anyone complain about “privilege” in this instance; (except maybe those that owe student loans for the same degree she just got with 0 credit hours)

Imma let you finish...

First college degree to be a doctorate, what a slap in everybody’s face!
