RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. New York University is expanding the definition of a liberal arts education because how can you be a well-informed person in this world without taking a course dedicated³ to the musical genius that is Taylor Swift? That's what NYU is offering now. The class will look at, quote, "culture and politics of teen girlhood in pop music, fandom, whiteness and power." There's already a long waitlist to enroll. No word yet whether Taylor Swift will accept the invite to speak to the class. It's MORNING EDITION.

该课程将探讨“流行音乐、粉丝、白人和权力中的青少年少女时代的文化和政治，因为这与泰勒·斯威夫特的形象有关。”已经有一个很长的候补名单。
