Looking back and cringing is good: it means you've grown.

Just heard my first Gen Z graduation speech

[@2emptywords]

And what do you think of it?

[@emotionalfish1181]

@@2emptywords I like the message of being your true self but didn't find much value in some of the other stuff like, don't worry about being cool and not trying. I feel like there are some other more important topics to cover. I feel something more inspiring would have been better but I liked her confidence in how she spoke.

@@emotionalfish1181 a good speech is about atleast 20 mins ... It's just sad humans don't have the attention span now adays for that no matter how good a speech can be.

This is so relavent now and one to listen to again as a refreshing reminder.

[@somethingwentwrong2528]

About the cringe?

[@imperpekto12ify]

Im jelly!!! I wish she gave a speech on my graduation!

[@skankhunt3624]

I'd prefer that Republican politician that made the graduation speech all about herself, her campaign, and her political views. The grads really appreciate that she didn't make it about them.

[@veeseven6295]

that was awesome, inspiring.

Excellent speach! I Love it, the Way you speak.❤

I am going to be a graduate of 2022 you know in a way Taylor is talking to her OG people because when I was little I remember she had just dropped her first song you belong with me so her talking to this graduates it’s like her talking to her little cousin or sister

Indeed. That “Life can be heavy … so don’t try to cringe at dressing like a 1950’s housewife all at once” is so deeply deep!

Well at least she read the room properly.

[@thesun6211]

It's almost like she'll be "Totally Fine, even if she's like 30, and Prince Charming still hasn't Proposed, cuz she's already got Solid Offers from Gaston, Aladdin (with Robin Williams Genie), and is Engaged to her High School Sweetheart, who almost Left Her Forever but managed to quit drinking after his Football Career was Ended by Injury but it made him focus on Business and become a Fortune Five Hundred billionaire."🤣🤘🤘

[@gan3sh_gaming]

The question of what humans would eat if there were no governmental influences on food consumption is quite complex and subjective. Without governmental regulations, individuals might have more freedom to choose what they eat based on personal preferences, cultural traditions, and access to various foods. Some may choose to consume locally sourced, organic produce, while others might opt for a diet focused on plant-based foods or animal products. Additionally, without governmental interventions such as agricultural subsidies, food safety regulations, and nutritional guidelines, the food landscape could look different. It's possible that there would be more diversity in the types of foods available, as well as in the farming practices used to produce them. However, the absence of regulation could also lead to challenges such as food safety concerns, unequal access to nutritious foods, and environmental degradation. Ultimately, the hypothetical scenario of a world without governmental influence on food consumption is complex and uncertain, and the answer would depend on various factors including individual choices, cultural norms, and societal values.

[@AlexSevigny89]

Who would you rather give a speech for your graduation? Taylor Swift, or Rep Senator Cynthia Lummis? And you can’t say neither, it has to be one or the other. There is no middle ground. It’s either Taylor talking about hardships in your future, or Lummis basically telling you transgenders don’t matter.

[@davidtee5367]

Swift. even if i didn't know what each speech was. i've more in common with swift than i do one of my 'betters' in DC. (admittedly, i've even more in common with the regular guy on the streets of pyongyang than either of those two)

[@storywala88]

Cool...

[@MB-gl2bl]

[@christineferreira2181]

Clicked on this by accident. I'm a little older than Taylor. Very talented, adorable, but somewhat clueless in real life. But it's not necessarily her fault. I think she means well. She was just always treated like stained glass in a church.

[@boohoo1785]

Did she graduate??

[@jchase5468]

Nope...honorary degree

[@Felevr]

Shes funny tho 😁

[@cokepartyusa]

If I was her I would cringe too

Imagine Kanye West interrupts and takes the microphone from Taylor when she's just about to give her commencement speech and says: "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Steve Jobs had one of the best commencement speeches of all time!"

her music is now literally not that tho. listen to folklore or evermore instead of just hating. lmao also nothing wrong with writing break up songs when ur 50. male singers do it all the time 😉

[@fakshen1973]

Pretty vapid. The opening sounded promising and the rest was like what you'd say to people transitioning from junior high to high school and she's your local celebrity that had a successful but limited career in Hollywood or music. This is a shame. It's being lectured more by form than substance. I have no qualms with Swift as a musician and an artist. But her advice to young people is left wanting.

[@darkiee69]

You saw less than four and a half minute of a almost 24 minute speech and make your judgement based on that. My advice to you, don't judge anything until you have the full story.

[@Katyloveheart]

​@@darkiee69 I know ryt there was so much to this speech 😢

[@nekonatamisterajn4269]

This has to be the most white upper class speach I've ever heard in my life. Being cringe is okay? what kind of people I hire? let go bad things? I'm a student and I don't even know how I'm going to pay rent, this girl never had any hardship in her life. If I were there hearing her speach I would die of "cringe" lol. Imagine getting preached by Taylor Swift 😅 maybe I should just "let go" this kdkskajslslal

[@kartik5001]

valid concerns. as someone who admirers her i try to see what i can again out of her speech. believe it or not even famous and rich people can give you life lessons. in taylor’s case, i think she did a pretty good job

[@kaye0091]

Im a student too, in debt in fact, but i think otherwise. Just cause she is where she is now, you dont get to invalidate her and the 15 to 16 years of hard work she put in. And you certainly dont get to judge her over an edited, spliced clip of her speech.

[@chips2coins]

Two people will cringe in the future, Taylor that she made this cringe speech and you connecting these words "white upper class" to anything, I mean, come on....

[@christineferreira2181]

She pretty much grew up with a silver spoon

[@subzero4790]

She's so Basic.

[@2emptywords]

She’s not, it’s the lame level they were able to maleate the new gen into. She used a technique of telling a pseudo smart thing at the beginning to catch attention then followed by the doctrine of do something bold because you like it and not regret… the playground for things that will be coming up in their agenda

[@sig4319]
