University course on Taylor Swift and literature launches in Belgium

In Belgium, the University of Ghent launches a Taylor Swift-inspired English Literature course.

The syllabus will look at the themes, styles and techniques employed by famous historical literary writers and their connections with the lyrics of the US pop superstar.

The course is among a handful that have popped up at universities around the world as pop titan Swift has racked up hits and awards and as her Eras Tour is expected to set a record for the first billion-dollar tour.
