Elizabeth Warren Quotes Taylor Swift, Slams Trump In Commencement Speech 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) delivered the commencement address Saturday at Bridgewater State University, where she quoted Taylor Swift and once again took shots at presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.

The freshman senator said her life was full of “mistakes and twists and turns and failures" and urged students to embrace the unexpected.

“Heck, on my day of graduation, I never imagined I would visit foreign countries.

I never imagined I would be a commencement speaker. I never imagined I would get into a Twitter war with Donald Trump,” she said, according to the Boston Globe.

Trump and Warren got into a huge Twitter spat earlier in the week. Warren blasted the real estate mogul\'s penchant for trashing women and criticized his positions on the minimum wage, financial regulation and student loan debt. He mocked the senator as “Goofy Elizabeth Warren” and questioned her accomplishments.

Aides to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton have noticed, setting off speculation about tapping Warren as a possible vice presidential nominee.

Following the speech, Warren told reporters that Trump is a "truly dangerous man" who would pose "some risk" if elected president.

In her speech, Warren also quoted singer Taylor Swift, telling graduates to brush off critics and naysayers.

“As one of the great philosophers of our time has said, ‘Haters going to hate, hate, hate hate, hate, \'” Warren said. “Knowing who you are helps you ‘Shake It Off.’”

Elizabeth Warren announced a bill creating a Financial Product Safety Commission with House and Senate Democrats in March 2009. The body was designed to have oversight over mortgages and other financial instruments to protect consumers against predatory practices. She said if the agency had existed before the subprime collapse then "there would have been millions of families who got tangled in predatory mortgages who never would have gotten them." HuffPost\'s Ryan Grim reported: Without all these toxic assets on banks\' balance sheets, the institutions wouldn\'t be on the brink of collapse and the recession would be more manageable. "Consumer financial products were the front end of the destabilization of the American economic system." Sen. Charles Schumer\'s cosponsorship of the bill is notable because of his proximity to Wall Street. The bill\'s merit, the New York Democrat said, is that it regulates the actual financial product rather than the company producing it.
