It is safe to say that Taylor Swift is a global phenomenon that has reached new heights. It is a Swift-crazy world out there with some treating her lyrics like sacred texts, while others dissecting her songs like Shakespearean sonnets in academics. With catchy tunes and charm galore, she has got fans, scholars, and even sermonizers wrapped around her finger alike and authorities are taking care they are enjoying every bit of it. 

First the USA’s University of California, then Germany's Church of Holy Spirit, and now the UK’s Capital, the Taylor Swift effect is spreading across official powers.
