Why Harvard Has Chosen to Study Taylor Swift and Her Musical Accomplishments

For years, Taylor Swift [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/taylor-swift/] and
her musical journey have been a source of intrigue for the world. While some of
her success might forever remain a mystery, her fans will soon be able to study
her journey and accomplishments. Just a month ago, Harvard announced their plans
to have a course on the pop sensation from their next semester. Although her
fans were ecstatic about it, others were not on board with the whole idea.

However, the doubters could not stop the esteemed university from following
through with their plans. Just recently the professor set to teach the
much-awaited course opened up about why they are choosing to see it through.


PROF. STEPHANIE BURT OPENS UP ABOUT WHY HARVARD CHOSE TO ADD TAYLOR SWIFT TO THE
SYLLABUS

According to reports from Entertainment Tonight
[https://www.etonline.com/professor-of-taylor-swift-class-at-harvard-on-why-the-pop-stars-work-is-worthy-of-study-217875],
it was revealed that the professor, Stephanie Burt, had written a rather
convincing argument as to why students should learn about Taylor Swift and her
work. The professor would be the one teaching the upcoming hour-long class at
Harvard. In her letter, she stated that her students would “benefit from
studying art that they love — art new and old, art in many genres.”

Burt also said that the course would focus on how students should think about
“illicit affairs, and hoaxes, champagne problems and incomplete closure.” Apart
from that, they will be diving into works that the 34-year-old singer seemed to
find important and about legendary musicians that came before the ‘Anti-Hero’
singer. While there is no doubt that the class will be filled with music lovers
and Swifties, it is not the only university to offer a course on the singer.

Notably, Harvard might be the latest addition of colleges to add the singer and
her work to their course list.


WHICH OTHER UNIVERSITIES OFFER A COURSE ON TAYLOR SWIFT?

Before Harvard announced their ‘Taylor Swift and Her World’ course a month ago,
universities like Stanford, the Clive Davis Institute, Berkeley, Arizona State,
and even the University of Texas had already unveiled their courses.

Most of the courses tend to center around the 34-year-old and her
record-breaking success over the years. With so many different big-league
colleges embracing Swift and her incredible journey, the future generation might
be able to learn things about the singer that some of us could never understand.

She can go and on about the British Royal Family and everything Hollywood and doing so works like a shot of espresso for the writer. She aims to interview her favorite rapper, Nicki Minaj, some day. In her free time, you will find her playing Call of Duty, watching BoJack Horseman, or catching up on true crime documentaries.
