Popularly known as Satan's Vatican, America's prestigious Harvard university's set to debut a course on pop icon Taylor Swift in the Spring. Called "Taylor Swift And Her World," students will earn credit for "deep dives" into the smash hit celebrity's "lyrics, music" and "artistry."
In this class, students will earn college credit for their deep dives into Swift’s lyrics, music, and influence, dissecting her catalog and reading a host of authors Burt finds relevant to understanding Swift’s artistry,” the newspaper reported.
Professor Burt, who graduated from Harvard in 1994, told the Harvard Crimson, “I try to teach only the courses that I think our students can really use — either because students want them or because our curriculum needs them.”
Exactly, really, really expensive classes at Limo Lib Ivy Schools have gotta be useful and necessary, and that's where the legendary singer/songwriter genius of Taylor Swift comes in. Prof Burt continues:
"Taylor Swift is someone who establishes complicated and changing relationships to the idea of Americanness and to the idea of white Americanness and of middle America,” Burt said.
What can we say? Tay Tay is someone who establishes complicated and changing relationships to the idea of Americanness. Quite.
Tay Tay's net worth's at a jaw dropping >1BN$. Have you ever looked into her eyes and not gotten a migraine?
Cheers,

I can say I've never listened to her songs. What I respect is she has earned her wealth and comes from modest beginnings. Role model? Probably not!
ReplyDeleteWSF, I don't scorn her in the way we all scorn Harvard. But... I challenge you to look into those cunning little eyes and not get a migraine.

ReplyDeleteI see enough red flags for a May Day Parade.
The Taylor Swift's of the Copybook Headings,
ReplyDeleteWith slaughter and carnage return!
There is actually no truth to the rumor that the Kansas City Chiefs are to be renamed the Swifts, but there is a meme out there with her and Travis Kelce walking hand in hand and labeled Taylor writing her next album.

ReplyDeletePretty scary, WSF.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent meme, Wild.
ReplyDeleteYes, DOS.
ReplyDeleteKyrie...
Judging from the cheap seats here...but when one with obvious talent and business sense is themselves the marketable item - developed over time to this monolith of popularity and cash and constantly "on point" with this image, what does she think of when alone at night? Is it "Thank you God", or...nothing? I would never trade my lifestyle and life for all her money and fame...ever. Reminds me of Jerry McGuire, high power agent...the man...except he could never be alone as reality would sink in.
ReplyDeleteTaylor Swift is an odd woman.
ReplyDeleteThe Tzar had cameo roles in the feature film, Napoleon. He was portrayed as a spoiled child who wanted to bone Josephine.
ReplyDeleteGood question, Paul, and we're reminded of what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world... to say nothing of eyes and needles. That in mind, I don't get the impression that Tay Tay's in it for treasure in heaven but hey, what do I know.
ReplyDeleteGood JM point.
She's definitely done well, LL, but just look at those eyes.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the Boney movie, though a friend did and was disappointed, but I do know this: Josephine's teeth were rotten and the, ahem, courtesan, you might say whore, was wildly successful at entrancing men with her amorous art.
Perhaps this included the Tzar, it most certainly applied to the Corsican Upstart.
