Harvard University plans to offer course on Taylor Swift

Fans of Taylor Swift who attend Harvard University may be filling a "Blank Space" in their course schedule with a new course about the pop star's career.

Taught by Professor Stephanie Burt, a self-identified fan of Swift's work, Harvard's English Department will offer "Taylor Swift and Her World" for the first time this spring. The planned course will include diving into Swift's lyrics, music and influences.

"I love that I'm able to do this in a way that both gives people the chance to study and write about things they already love, and maybe build some bridges to things they would not have otherwise encountered that they might also love," Burt said.
