"Doctor" Taylor Swift you ask?
Yes, the singer/songwriter received an honorary doctorate as well as delivered her viral commencement address at New York University's graduation this year.
To her credit, she panned the doctorate with a swift joke:
I'm not the type of doctor you would want around in the 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.
The crux of the speech that sent the internet abuzz came when Doctor Swift addressed "cringe."
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... you can't avoid it, so don't try to.
It's not wrong advice – we all have things in our youth that we look back on and cringe about a little. I remember dressing in nothing but Joker green and purple for a few months after Tim Burton's Batman came out.
However, everyone Doctor Swift's age and older have less to cringe about. Swift might cringe about dressing like a 1950's housewife for years, but younger generations will cringe about transition surgeries, hormone therapies, canceling people, and embracing their abortions—all nonreversible actions with significant consequences.
I have a feeling these new woke college grads will have less "cringe" and much more "regret."
