➡️I am not 100% sure of the validity of this statement, I have absolutely no reason to doubt the person that told me this..just wanted to put this "disclaimer" here just in case⬅️

I used to work with a girl whose cousin apparently attended the same High School as @taylorswift . One day we were talking and everyone I ever work with, or heck ANYONE I know, knows my immense love for Taylor. So she told me that @taylorswift didn't get to walk at her Graduation due to the "spectacle" it would become. Basically the School knew her being there would take all the attention away from the other people Graduating. The girl that told me this also said there were rumors that this came to be because of jealousy and parents of jealous kids went to the school and demanded something to be done. Idk if that's how or why it happened, but it is very possible.

This could have been in junction with what @taylorswift said, she was in a car with her Mom doing radio tours and simply couldn't attend. Logistically wise. So, it could have been a combination of things, Taylor has always been very open about her High School experience and that it wasn't good. So I totally believe people didn't want the girl they made fun of for having such a "far fetched" dream, and keep in mind at the time of Graduation she had already had a development deal with RCA and was songwriting with them, then signed to...that label no one cares about anymore...had also released her debut album, "Taylor Swift", and was getting ready to release "Fearless"((Love Story, the lead single, was released in September 2008, her graduation year)). She had done one of her most famous acceptance speeches where she says "this is definitely the highlight of my Senior Year"((when she won the Horizon Award)). My point is, she was ridiculed for having a dream, and before they Graduated, Taylor was already starting to achieve those dreams, and I think it made a lot of people jealous.

So I do think her speech to the class of 2020 about not attending Graduation was GREAT. Here is the biggest celebrity of our generation, and one of the best of all time, telling them that look, I didn't get to go to my Graduation and I still went on to do great things and so will you. And that she also can relate to looking forward to that day for years only for it to be taken away from you, it sucks.

I edited these after listening to "Breathe" by @taylorswift on repeat for hours and even learned it on guitar that day. It's such a wonderful song and I was so happy to see young Tay so excited to record it. 😊

These are on my ig too and I post lyrics there by Taylor If you want to follow: _theluckyone14 💕
