“This is such a good night. Earlier this morning, I watched my brother Austin graduate from Notre Dame and then I flew here. So, I guess I wanna say to anyone who’s graduating this year from high school, college, grad school, whatever you’re graduating from, this is for you," said 25-year-old Swift. "Congratulations. This is kind of a graduation for us because it honors what we’ve achieved but it also reminds us that we have so much learning to do, we have so much more to accomplish, and to fight for.”
