For years, 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, 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.
