Stanford University now offering a course on Taylor Swift song

Beginning in the winter 2023 quarter, co-eds at Stanford University will be able to sign up for a course called ‘All Too Well’, a 10-week course that is an in-depth analysis of the popstar’s 2012 hit.

‘All Too Well’ was released on Swift’s 2012 ‘Red’ album. The 10-minute track instantly became one of her most popular among fans.

The course joins the list of Stanford’s ITALIC 99 courses, which according to the college’s website, is designed to “offer students an introduction to topics taught by alumni of the program.”

“With each quarter offering unique courses, these student-led classes are focused on hands-on learning and have included topics such as travel sketching, watercolor, music composition, improv acting, animation, and digital art, among many others,” the website reads.

Swift under study

This is not the first time Swift’s music has been studied at the university level.

New York University launched a new Taylor Swift course for its 2022 spring semester, while the University of Texas at Austin also announced in 2022 a new undergraduate course called ‘The Taylor Swift Songbook’.

Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada offers a course in ‘Taylor Swift’s Literary Legacy’.

Taylor the honorary graduate

Taylor Swift received an honorary degree from NYU at Yankee Stadium in May 2022. The 33-year-old singer received a Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa.

“Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard,” Swift said in her graduation speech. “This outfit is much more comfortable.”

Later in the speech, the superstar thanked her friends, family, and fans for all their support.

“To all the parents, family members, mentors, teachers, allies, friends and loved ones here today who have supported these students ... let me say to you now: Welcome to New York. It’s been waiting for you.”
