Gainesville and Cambridge will host Taylor Swift in 2024. Not additional Eras Tour dates, but college classes. Harvard and the University of Florida (UF) also announced 2024 Swift courses.
Scholar, poet, and critic Stephanie Burt will teach “Taylor Swift and Her World” at Harvard. Melina Jimenez will teach “Musical Storytelling with Taylor Swift and other iconic female artists” at UF.
Swift’s career, “her evergreen songwriting,” and Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, and Dolly Parton will be studied within the UF course. The Harvard Crimson reports that Burt’s course will examine Swift’s relationship to the literary canon, reading Wordsworth and Cather.
Ghent University, UT Austin, Rice University, Berklee College of Music, Berkeley, Arizona State, New York University, and Stanford also offer Swift, Swifties, and culture classes.
