4. New York University
Since Taylor Swift started her professional career young, signing with Sony/ATV Music at the age of 14, she skipped out on the traditional college experience. Now, she’s Dr. Swift, as she received her honorary doctorate of arts from New York University in 2022. It was a fabulous and fearless feat for Swift, to not only walk the stage but to also give the commencement speech to the graduating class at Yankee Stadium.
