Swifties know these words all too well.
Taylor Swift received her honorary doctorate of fine arts in May from NYU, where she also imparted 24 minutes of wisdom to new grads.
Now, hours before the 32-year-old releases her 10th album, “Midnights,” on Friday, fans have realized that the notorious Easter-egg leaver included forthcoming song lyrics in her commencement speech.
“Breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out,” she instructed the graduates five months ago.
“And I am a doctor now, so I know how breathing works,” she joked.
Those same words appeared on billboards around the world this week as Swift and Spotify teamed to share “Midnights” lyrics on flashy signs in cities such as New York, Nashville and São Paulo.
The “Shake It Off” songstress also asked NYU students, “How do I give advice to this many people about their life choices?
“I won’t,” Swift said. “Scary news is: You’re on your own now. Cool news is: You’re on your own now,” she added.
“You’re On Your Own, Kid” is track No. 5 on “Midnights.”
“If she was teasing ‘you’re on your own kid’ i’ll actually throw up,” one Twitter user said of Swift’s ingenious move.
“Of course she did,” another echoed the singer/songwriter’s clever reveal.
“Her mindddd,” another simply stated.
Swifties also went crazy when the album’s songwriting credits were released. “Catwoman” star Zoë Kravitz co-wrote Swift’s “Lavender Haze” — the first track on “Midnights.”
Swift’s longtime “Lover,” Joe Alwyn, is also credited on the album for “Sweet Nothing” under his pseudonym William Bowery. He previously used the name as a co-writer on Swift’s 2020 releases “Evermore,” “Champagne Problems,” “Betty,” “Coney Island” and “Exile.”
“Midnights” drops at midnight Friday.
