Move over Bach and Beethoven, and make room for Taylor Swift -- who's now the subject of a course at New York University.
The prestigious Big Apple school launched "Topics in Recorded Music: Taylor Swift" at the end of January, and will offer the class through March. The course description promises to cover "her evolution as a creative music entrepreneur, the legacy of pop and country songwriters, discourses of youth and girlhood, and the politics of race in contemporary popular music." There's currently a long wait list for a seat in the class.
I haven't been to school in years but this is one course I definitely sign up for!
