There’s a new Harvard course covering all things Taylor Swift — and yes, that means her relationships, including her Mr. Right Now, Travis Kelce … so says the professor who’s teaching the class
One of Harvard’s English professors, Stephanie Burt, joined us Tuesday on “TMZ Live” to discuss the class she’ll be heading up next semester called ‘Taylor Swift and Her World’ — which she made very clear will put an emphasis on the literary merit behind T-Swift’s art
It’s obvious from the video, but Prof. Burt is a self-professed Swiftie, but says that’s not the reason she’s teaching this course. As she explains to us, Taylor’s work/fandom are very much worthy of study.
In fact, because her personal life is so tied into her songwriting, that means who she dates will get some attention in this class. However, Prof. Burt notes they probably won’t spend so much time on Trav … mostly because she hasn’t written a song about him just yet.
If history’s any indication … she might have to break up with him first for that to happen.
However, Harvard isn’t the only university doing this for TayTay; Arizona State has already implemented a course focused on Taylor, and the University of Florida will launch one of its own very soon. Yes, academia adores Taylor!
Furthermore, there is a great deal of interest in this new Harvard course, as if that wasn’t already clear. Hundreds of people have already signed up for the Spring, as Professor Burt informs us.
Taylor Swift … coming to a big lecture hall near you.
