Taylor Swift Poetry Analysis
🎵 Dive into the rich tapestry of storytelling, metaphor, and emotion as we break down, discuss, and analyze a new Taylor Swift song each week. 🎵
In this class, we'll analyze the intricate songwriting skills of one of pop music's most influential artists. Students will explore the evolution of Taylor Swift's musical and lyrical style, from her country roots to her pop and indie-folk reinventions. Each week, the class will focus on a different song, examining its poetic devices, narrative techniques, and thematic elements to understand the depth and breadth of Swift's work as a modern-day poet and songwriter.
While we're diving deep into literary devices, this class is still a great fit for learners new to poetry analysis—we'll take the time to review each literary device before discussing its role in the given song!
Please note that some Taylor Swift songs do contain mature themes or language. In this class, we will always defer to the album version of the song (which may have expletives) rather than radio edits (which generally do not have expletives). We also may compare and contrast the album version feels compared to the radio edit, diving deep into how the use of expletives effects the impact of the song.
Each 8 week term is totally different, so students may sign up repeatedly and never get the same content.
