Good News for Swifties! Fans Can Study Taylor Swift, Pop Music in THIS University; But How?

It looks like Swifties will have a good time studying Taylor Swift in university.

Learning will definitely be fun, especially if you will be studying Taylor Swift and pop music.

As per Variety, New York University's Clive Davis Institute has officially created a fresh new course on Taylor Swift for the spring semester.

Taking place at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, the course started on January 26 and will continue through March 9. The Davis Institute is part of the Tisch School of the Arts.

According to a representative for the program, the course will cover Swift's evolution as a creative music entrepreneur, the legacy of pop and country songwriters, discourses of youth and girlhood, and the politics of race in contemporary popular music.

Swift has been asked to speak to the class. The status is still pending as the waitlist is already full.

The Davis Institute, chaired by renowned music writer and musician Jason King, has hosted classes given by Questlove, author of "Dilla Time" Dan Charnas, Q-Tip, famed producer-engineer Bob Power, and many more.

What exactly will be taught?

The official description reads that the course proposes to deconstruct both the "appeal and aversions to Taylor Swift" through close readings of her music and public discourse as it relates to her own "growth as an artist and a celebrity".

In addition, the class will go in-depth into analyses of the "culture and politics of teen girlhood in pop music", fandom, media studies, whiteness, and power related to her image and the images of those who have both preceded and succeeded her.

The course will also discuss copyright, Ownership, American nationalism, and social media impact on pop music.

Teaching the course will be Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos. She said in a statement that she took "several of the Topics in Recorded Music courses in the program while an undergrad" as it was foundational to her work as a music journalist.

She also added that it is "such an honor" for her to share her "Swiftie expertise" with those who will be qualified to enroll in the course. Spanos also mentioned that she hopes that the course would help people rethink "how to engage with one of the world's biggest and sometimes divisive stars".

In 2015, Beyonce also had an almost similar course offered at the University of Waterloo in Canada that focused on Beyoncé's 2013 album, Beyoncé on feminism and pop culture.
