You all read so far into every word that comes out of her mouth. Damn. It was a cute video with a cute message!!

It was always going to be a short speech because she was a GUEST speaker and frankly her speech was as long as most other guest speeches in the broadcast

The video is more than likely pre-recorded and therefore recorded before the #BLM movemwnt gained momentum. With how vocal and direct Taylor has been in this regard recently I don’t think she would’ve shied away from it last night had she had a choice to send an updated video.

As someone who is graduating college this year in a less than ideal or traditional graduation procedure, Taylor sharing a person anecdote about her own less than traditional graduation honestly gave me something to relate to even more.

There’s so much going in the world right now. I think the one thing we should’ve learned by now is to be empathic and kind. Especially so towards someone who we claim to love so much 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I went to see the rep tour in NJ bc me and my boyfriend (at the time) were on a j1 in New York together and we queued for ages to get some merch but everything I wanted wasn’t in my size so I decided to hold off...

Antway, after the show we went to get our bus (we had bought a return ticket) and it was LASHING raining and long story short they wouldn’t accept our tickets so we were stranded

and all we had on us was $50 between us in cash and about 20 different taxies refused to bring us to New York with that they wanted at least $100 and I honestly had an absolute breakdown

Then some absolute GEM of a taxi man agreed to bring us to Times Square (we were staying in the bronx) for $50 and we just the subway home but oh my god I was SO grateful that nothing was in my size hahaha
