Taylor Swift is a serious subject for New York University (NYU). The institution recently launched a course dedicated exclusively to the American singer. Students signing up for the class can immerse themselves in the star’s musical heritage through lectures and more.

The course at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute is taught by American journalist Brittany Spanos. She traces Swift’s career from her early recording days in Nashville, Tennessee, to her transformation into a global pop icon. The course also looks at the legacy of the country singer-songwriters she draws inspiration from, as well as the evolution of the musical genre and “politics of race in contemporary music”, according to Variety.
