That's my baby and I'm proud, pass the tissues because we're feeling very emotional today!

It's been a big day for those graduating from NYU and amongst the graduates was none other than pop icon Taylor Swift.

Taylor shared in a 2016 Vogue interview how she'd love to receive an honorary doctorate one day, and six years later her dreams came true - receiving an Honorary Doctorate for Fine Arts.

Imagine graduating at the same time as Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift?!

Taylor even documented her getting ready on TikTok. She shared clips of her getting into the gown, taking photos with loved ones, and then finally driving to the event! It's so wholesome 💖

Taylor gracelessly accepted the doctorate for Fine Arts followed by an inspirational, humorous, and reflective speech, who knew she was good with words? (Oh just every #1 song she's ever had!)

'Tis the damn season for graduations, congrats Taylor, and everyone else celebrating this amazing achievement!
