Taylor Swift’s songs and lyrics will be the subject of a new literature course at a Texas university.

The Taylor Swift Songbook course will fill a gap in the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) curriculum starting this fall.

As Sky News reports, this means Swift’s songs will be “read” alongside other “giants” of British and American literature such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Coleridge, Keats who students hope to know very well. until the end of their studies.

The goal of this particular course is to “introduce critical literary reading and research methods, essential skills for work in English literature and other humanities,” according to the description on the UTA website.

“Focusing on Taylor Swift’s music and the cultural context within which she and her career are situated, we will examine understandings of her work as poetic form, style, and history across various themes and theoretical issues, while practicing careful and in depth reading, evaluating secondary sources and building strong arguments’.

UTA is following in the footsteps of New York University (NYU), which previously helped fans fulfill their wildest dreams by offering a class about Swift.
