(Human being = SPIRIT BEING). - the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN. Matthew 7:21 The truth we don`t like: - we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7 - we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment. - we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12 - there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25 - the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them.

Hello @leavega6874 from another Swiftie mother, I so resonated with your comment, Im a protective mom too, and a recently converted "Swiftie" after my daughter forced me to accompany her to the Eras Show movie (since her friends were busy and she had no company) and I couldnt be more comfortable of her choice to adulate Taylor since then! She is so elegant and totally bowled me over with her flowwy dresses and simple yet touching lyrics. And this speech - simply amazing.

Such wisdom usually comes from a long life. As a 72 year old woman, I look at Taylor with hope for future generations. I only wish I had had someone in my life like her to talk to and to seek advice from. Kind of funny that a woman of my age would see Taylor as a roll model, but she inspires me to continue a life with hope for my future. Thank you , Taylor.

She is Marvelous

I had never listened to this speech before today and I really have to say She never ceases to amaze me. I've never admired someone as much as I admire her, for her strength, her intelligence, her ability to use words. I love her music, the way It makes me feel and think. I wish I had been able to get tickets for the italian dates of the tour... She's my favourite artist, a great person and a great woman!

I love how proud she is of herself ❤️ she isn’t full of herself but she knows who she is and what she’s accomplished. Very humble young woman.

I imagine phrases from this speech echoing back to these alumni all throughout their lives, encouraging them to shake off mistakes and knowing when it’s time to go.

I realized I never left a comment here, although I always come back to hear this speech over and over again. Taylor might have not given advice, but she certainly made us breath. Everytime I listen, I feel stronger, inspired and not alone. Thank you Taylor.

I watched this speech of Taylor two years ago and rewatched it today. Man, she is really one great speaker aside that she is already known for as a great singer/songwriter and businesswoman. Her speech was so simple yet so natural, moving, inspiring, and realistic. It is just like she is talking to friends. 😊😊

I love how Taylor delivered her speech with some jokes but also shared a powerful word of wisdom. I love you Taylor. Big fan here🙋🏻‍♀️💗✨

Totally awesome Taylor. I just recently completed a four year degree. I am sixty eight years old and just now going for my Master's Degree. Congratulations, Nice Work.

​@@thezone3612 so other people would work their ass off and have to scrounge up tons of tuition but Taylor gets a degree in something she DIDN'T EVEN STUDY. Its kinda offensive to the people who actually put the work in. No shame for her rising to be a celeb but she can't just be handed a degree for it.

Our Taylor saying " Hi I am Taylor " As she hasn't healed us through her lyrics, helped us with the music, encouraged with her speeches and amazed us with the sarcasm and much more is cutest and forever favorite thing about her!

What a Woman she is. We are all blessed to be alive along with her in this world.

I am mesmerized while getting goosebumps hearing her deliver her speech. She's is exemplary in what she does.

She doesn't give advice .. she just makes suggestions ❤

don't forget Taylor managed to do the 10 minute song all too well from memory, Taylor said. When she was doing the song it lasted nearly 15 minutes, to say Taylors a genus is a understatement, thank god she didn't give up, reputation, lover and folklore might never happened if she gave up and evermore, fearless and red both Taylors version might never have happened, Taylors family and Joe are the best thing that's happened to her, she's also with a label that respects her, not like a certain so called company that effectively stole her music.

This is the best speech I have ever heard. She regards sincerity as the most important thing. Taylor Swift is a great story teller. I root for her as a writer, artist and 'good girl'. She will be 22 years old forever.

Why am I crying? You’re so sweet and kind and outrageously talented. Thank you Taylor you’re one of the greatest person of this century. 🤗😘🌹🎵🎼🎤

"You're on your own kid. You always have been."

The way she said welcome to New York it’s literally one of her songggg 😍

The person who yelled PERIOD ate that and Taylor’s speech was phenomenal 🎉

Tho I’ve not appreciated this young woman’s talents before, THIS is demonstrably excellent. With an acre of TheReddestLipstickEver, she navigates a LONG, uplifting talk (*seemingly without a glance at a teleprompter), delivered like the girl next door. I’m impressed.

She was born to speak and write and be a performer so poised and inspiring. Also beautiful ❤️ A role model for anyone! Congratulations Dr. Swift.

My God, every time I listen to this woman I love her more♥️ what a beautiful example of a human being😇

I guarantee she sat on a couch or a bed and wrote that whole speech herself. She is an unbelievable person. After this 2023 tour, she will go down as one of the biggest ,here from Pittsburgh. I hope I get to see her someday

Beautiful! I can see why my eight-year-old granddaughter loves her. She has made me a fan as well. You go, girl! Thank you for sharing your talent and heart with the world. You are a shining, singing light. Lead on!

I am Kelce Mahomes Andy Reid of the Chiefs fan. Not previously a fan of TS. Kelce falling for Taylor leads me to check out why such devoted Swifties. What non-Swifties are missing out? Couldn’t be just music. This speech, the best commencement speech I have ever heard, explains a lot. Then my research into her struggles, lyrics, work ethics etc. … explains a lot more. Respect to Swifties. Travis, you can call on Kylie K. as a friend but are on your own now.

@rose D’encole agreed. I’m an accomplished woman in my late 40s and I am floored by her. She is truly something special.

I don't know how I'm only watching this now. This made me cry. I grew up with Taylor- I was 13 when "Tim McGraw" first hit the radio, and I've been a fan ever since. I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. Somehow this feels like she's up there on behalf of all of us who never got that opportunity.

I'm a 73 year old Australian...at my age nearing the end of life's journey...I never ever expected to become an unashamed fan of this very clever... intelligent young lady...a multitalented genius who has...all by herself...albeit abley supported by those who believe in her...made such an impact upon not only her own country...but the world. And as an added bonus... beautiful as well. Listening to her giving her speech here...unassisted...no teleprompter...no notes...relevant and amongst so many superlatives interesting...no hesitation...confident. if anyone well deserves a Doctorate and incredible honor...Taylor Swift does. In the future...when the tours are done...the songs have ended...I can think of no one more suited able and if willing and brave to serve her country enter into the turmoil of politics and stand for the Senate and for the Presidency. Amongst the turmoils and sadness...conflicts throughout the world...she alone has bought untold relief...happiness hope and joy to millions. What a star...what a legacy.

is it just me who randomly started crying trough this? it’s hard to put into words what taylor is. shes literally so inspirational and kind and smart, guess you could call her a mastermind. but i physically can not say how much of a impact she has put on us swifties through so, many, years. Does anybody just genuinely wanna be her friend? like, not for fame. just because she seems like a awesome person? And you all do realize. There is physically nobody in this world who has had the amount of success in the way she has, like, ever. ilysm taylor you ARE the music industry and you are a one of the most amazing people to step foot on this planet. People have been supporting you since you took those first steps :)

I think she so represents a person who has talent and goals and she's been able to execute all that with intelligence, a level of maturity and balance amidst consistent grow and success. So few people achieve that - on top of being beautiful, adorable and kind. Many of us wish we could have all that goodness active in our own lives .... that's part of what I think the tears are about for many of her fans. And despite the attacks and vicious behaviors of others, she keeps taking the high road it seems. Its ALL GOOD. By and large its all good ..... and in this world with many "less than admirable" young female artists who are very visible and sadly, hugely trashy ...... she shines brilliantly. Good does triumph.
