Professor Elizabeth Scala, who'll be teaching the course, said:"I want to take what Swift fans can already do at a sophisticated level, tease it out for them a bit with a different vocabulary, and then show them how, in fact, Swift draws on richer literary traditions in her songwriting, both topically but also formally in terms of how she uses references, metaphors, and clever manipulations of words.
"I'll be showing students that these operations and interpretive moves one makes when reading her songs are appropriate to all forms of writing," she added."I actually did English literature studies in college, I would have absolutely loved to do a course like this. "When I was doing English always the most popular courses... were those ones that integrated something a bit more contemporary.to the whole history of literature?'"So I think absolutely: I love the fact that Taylor Swift is up there.
"I was actually looking at a few of her lyrics online, and there are entire webpages already dedicated to the countdowns of her best ones, breakdowns of what colour means in Taylor songs, what Taylor has to say about heartbreak, about youth.UTA follows in the footsteps of New York University , which previously offered a course on Swift as a music entrepreneur - and the various pop and country songwriters that helped shape her work.
The new course also comes after a separate university in Texas announced it will be offering a course based on the work of Harry Styles from 2023.Main image: Taylor Swift arrives at the MTV VMAs in Los Angeles, California in August 2014. Picture by: Francis Specker / Alamy Stock Photo
