(KERO) — The newest class at the University of Texas at Austin involves breaking down Taylor Swift songs.
A professor at the university says Swift's music uses a lot of the same techniques you'll find in classic poetry so she's basing a class around it called "The Taylor Swift songbook."
The professor says it's not about celebrity or fame, although she is a fan.
She says it's about the literary traditions that connect writing over the ages, whether the author is a pop-star or a Pulitzer prize winner.
She says her goal is to teach students about older material through a contemporary lens.
