GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WPEC) — Are you "ready for it," Swifties?
Taylor Swift is about to make her debut at the University of Florida (UF) in the form of a 13-week course during the spring semester of 2024.
According to the UF Honors Program website, the class will be called "Musical Storytelling with Taylor Swift and other iconic female artists" and will discuss Taylor Swift's discography while focusing on evergreen songwriting.
The course will focus on the parallels between Swift's lyrics and the works of other female artists such as Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton.
Each week students will be expected to write on themes like old flames, infidelity, aging and double standards.
Students will be expected to write two discussion posts, an introduction and an analysis of themes. Students will also see 'On Your Feet!' a musical about Gloria Estefan.
At the end of the semester, students will partner to create a final project of their choosing.

LSU has a course that ties her with Shakespeare.

As if we needed any further evidence that college is a joke.

I am enrolling in the online Bad Bunny course through Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles soon.

That’s definitely worth borrowing $100k for

I’m ready for the critical theory course on deconstructing Taylor Swift for her manifestation of White colonialism.

No Tom Petty?
What was this UF fan even fighting for then?

These courses are just marketing gimmicks (and judging by the headlines and this story it worked)
it’s still a class limited to a few students each semester and is it really different than “history of jazz” or other music electives were required to take? I think LSU had a history of rock and roll when I was there.

I really hope I am alive when the downfall of women happens.
The overcorrection they are setting themselves up for is catastrophic.

This is making me question my donor support as a UF alum. 
Although, points toward UF, I have a liberal turned progressive friend who is a Neuropsychologist there and is angry because UF, and DeSantis, have prevented them from learning about/researching things like the impact of systemic racism on minority students, minority students ability to pursue postgraduate work, and other horseshite that I cant remember her telling me about.
I'll take a Taylor Swift musical course over all of the bullshite being taught at most universities. Still seems like UF is keeping most of, and certainly the worst, woke/progressive, racist shite out of our curriculum.

You have to have something for those who receive NIL money to take.

Meh - if it’s an Arts elective - who cares?
I can’t remember what I wasted my money on in college filling that requirement.

UGA used to have a class when I was there that basically watched porn.

Taylor Swift is a middle aged woman acting like she is still 18.
Posted on 11/27/23 at 10:05 am to GumboPot
I just don't get why people think she's "hot".

Didn't LSU have a class on Jimmy Buffett?

further proof that college is a waste of money...
