Imaging being in varsity and you are told that you can take a study course that will teach you how to write songs like Bouwer Bosch, or maybe Karen Zoid. We'd like to think that that course would be filled to capacity with hopefuls, eager to learn how to write songs like some of their favourite musicians. Well in Texas, this isn't imagined, it is brought to life!

According to skynews, the course - The Taylor Swift Songbook - will fill a blank space in the line-up at the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) from this autumn.  It means the pop megastar's songs will be "read" alongside other UK and US literary giants such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Coleridge, Keats, and other artists students will hope to know all too well by the end of their studies.

The course will use "the songwriting of pop music icon Taylor Swift to introduce literary critical reading and research methods-basic skills for work in English literature and other humanities disciplines," according to a description on the UTA website.

UTA follows in the footsteps of New York University (NYU), which previously helped fans fulfil their wildest dreams by offering a course on Swift as a music entrepreneur, and the various pop and country songwriters that helped shape her work.

The singer boosted her reputation by receiving an honorary doctor of fine arts from NYU earlier this year.  The new course also comes after a separate university in Texas announced it will be offering a course based on the work of Harry Styles from 2023.
