The University of Texas at Austin will offer a course inspired by the music of Taylor Swift this fall.
Swift’s music has many of the elements and techniques inspired by classic poetry, according to Dr. Elizabeth Scala, a professor at the university.
“A brand new course for Fall 2022 taught by Dr. Elizabeth Scala provides an introduction to literary studies and research methods that uses the songwriting of @taylorswift as the basis for teaching a wide range of skills,” Scala posted to social media.

“Let’s turn that Easter Egg hunting and reading in detail to academic purposes! First-year @lahonorsut students will be prepared for advanced work in the humanities and potential application to the English Honors Program,” she added.
The course is titled the “Taylor Swift Songbook,” according to a report.

Scala is admittedly a fan of the pop star, but she insisted the course is designed to teach older material through a modern lens.
