From “Winter Quarter 2023” students at the prestigious California college will be able to take a course called"All Too Well (Ten Week Version)" and embark on “an in-depth analysis” of the lyrics on the 33-year-old singer’s 2012 hit, per the Stanford University website.
“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,” it continued.

The University of Texas at Austin announced last year it was also offering an undergraduate course named"The Taylor Swift Songbook" as part of its liberal arts honors program to study Swift’s lyrics alongside other literary works.
At the same time, Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada offers a course in “Taylor Swift’s Literary Legacy” as part of its Cultural Studies program.

“Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable,” Swift began, later referencing her hit1989song. “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.”
