Taylor Swift says, "ConGRADs, Zendaya!"

 
It seems like just a year or two ago that we were watching baby Zendaya strut her stuff as a tween on Disney Channel's Shake It Up!, but yesterday the now-18-year-old proved she's no longer just a kid as she walked across the stage to become a high school graduate. 

Z already commemorated finishing high school on set with her K.C. Undercover family, but yesterday she made it official in a ceremony with Oak Park High School. But Z didn't just party it up, she also took the opportunity to write a super inspiring message to her fellow grads, future grads and fans. 

"Shout out, not just to all the 2015 grads but to the soon to be!" Zendaya captioned an Insta pic. "Please remember knowledge is one of the most powerful gifts we have the privilege of receiving...don't take that for granted. To every soon to be grad, know that you CAN do it! (if I can get through it then anyone can) It's a long road, so many things will pose as obstacles in your way and at times the end seems further and further away, but please remember the importance of that beautiful mind you have and all the limitless powers you hold. All my love."  

"#sorryforgettingdeep," Zendaya added at the end of the message, but there's nothing to apologize for. Zendaya is super smart, sensitive and, above all, wise—and we love when she drops some truth on us.

And just like last time when Z's former Dancing with the Stars partner Val Chmerkovskiy showed his support, Z isn't celebrating alone. Her pal Taylor Swift stepped right up to the plate to shower Z in all the congrats she deserves.

 

"I'M NOT CRYING, YOU ARE," Tay wrote on a picture of the new graduate, adding, "#proudofyou."

We're super excited for Z, and love that Tay is showing just as much love as we are. Congrats, boo!
