‘Did Taylor Swift Go to College?’ question explained
Taylor Swift did not go to a traditional college but received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts at the New York University graduation in 2022. During high school, Swift changed institutions a couple of times. She attended Hendersonville High School at the age of 14 and later, Aaron Academy.
After moving to Nashville, Swift chose homeschooling as she had to dedicate more time to her music. At the NYU graduation ceremony, the singer recalled her high school experience and the early days of struggles.
The “Cruel Summer” crooner told the audience, “I never got to have the normal college experience, per se. I went to public high school until tenth grade and finished my education doing homeschool work on the floors of airport terminals.”
After confessing that she dreamt of going to college like other kids, Swift went on to acknowledge that she “can’t complain” about that. The 14-time Grammy-winning singer admitted, “I even set the ending of my music video for my song “Love Story” at my fantasy imaginary college.”
Meanwhile, Swift may not have gone to college, but she passed high school with exceptional grades. She reportedly had a 4.0 average when she was homeschooled during her junior and senior years.
Moreover, she managed to finish her coursework for both the junior and senior years within a span of 12 months. After receiving her high school diploma, she had told the Associated Press, “I never expected that my senior year would go the way it has. There’s something really exciting about getting to live your dream and continue your education at the same time” (via Chron).
