Taylor Swift to Give Commencement Speech at NYU — and Receive a Doctor of Fine Arts!

She's got everything from a Grammy to an Emmy Award under her belt, but Taylor Swift is about to add a new accolade to her list.

The "All Too Well" singer will receive a Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, from New York University in May,

and will also address the school's class of 2022 graduates as a commencement speaker.

The prestigious Manhattan school called Swift, 32, "one of the most prolific and celebrated artists of her generation" in a statement,

and recognized her various career achievements, including the fact that she is the only female artist to ever win album of the year three times at the Grammys,

and the only solo artist this century to have three albums reach No. 1 in one year.

The commencement ceremony will take place on the morning of May 18 at Yankee Stadium in a "doubleheader" event that will also honor the Classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Disability rights advocate Judith Heumann will also receive a Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, at the evening ceremony on May 18,

and will deliver an address to the Classes of 2020 and 2021.
