Course professor Meghan Burry said about teaching Taylor Swift’s Literal Legacy (Taylor’s Version) “I think Taylor Swift has struggled to be taken seriously, and a literary course on her is long overdue”.

 

This marks the second time a major pop music star is the theme of a university course in Canada. Last year: Toronto Metropolitan University announced a course titled Deconstructing Drake & The Weeknd, which will begin in Winter 2022.
