Taylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0is now the subject of an official college course.<\/p>\n In January, New York University’s Clive Davis Institute launched the first-ever U.S. college course centered on the superstar “All Too Well” singer.<\/p>\n Rolling Stone<\/em> writer and NYU alum Brittany Spanos teaches the course, which began Jan. 26 and runs through March 9.<\/p>\n Spanos recently shared with her Twitter followers how the unique class is going so far.<\/p>\n “For all those waiting on updates on how the Taylor class is going, I played ‘Dear John’ more than once and went on a too long tangent about Gaga\u2019s 2009 VMA performance (I promise I had a point),” she tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to Variety<\/a><\/em>, the class covers “Swift\u2019s 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.”<\/p>\n Some of the course objectives include analyzing Swift as a “creative music entrepreneur” and deconstructing her creative process; the legacy of songwriters that influenced her; and how women are exploited in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n Swift herself has been invited to lecture in the class. That request is currently “still pending.”<\/p>\n If you’re considering taking the course, there is apparently a long waitlist to sign up for it. Unfortunately, there’s no degree specializing in all things Swift just yet.<\/p>\n This isn’t the first time a modern music star has been the subject of a college course.<\/p>\n In 2015, the University of Texas at Austin ran a course called “Beyonc\u00e9 Feminism, Rihanna Womanism<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Additionally, the University of Missouri held a course called “English 2169: Jay-Z and Kanye West.”<\/p>\nCelebrities With Surprising College Degrees<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
