Description du cours
Whether or not you’re a “Swiftie”, it’s hard to deny Taylor Swift’s status as a musical icon. This course will take you a journey of Swift’s career to better understand her rise to fame and its impact on society. We’ll look at her popularity through the lens of economics and culture, considering ticket sales, concert dates and her relationship with Travis Kelce. We’ll examine Swift’s decision to re-record the music she published with Big Machine Records from a legal and feminist perspective, and we’ll consider the impact of the Eras Tour from the lens of environmentalism and climate change.
