According to Orla Keogh of the Taylor Swift Society at the University of Birmingham, the pop megastar who started out as a country singer frequently incorporated literary allusions into her songs.
“She is somewhat well-known for her pop songs, but they are much more profound, and I believe she is comparable to some of the greatest poets,” Ms. Keogh stated.
Swift’s Eras tour was the most successful global tour ever, and she is the most streamed musician of all time.
Forbes magazine named her the sixth most influential woman in the world last year.
Academics gathered at the institution on Wednesday night for a special session where they discussed the popstar’s cultural contribution and effect.
According to Sarah Montano, a professor of retail marketing at the university, Swift’s social influence—such as her support of Kamala Harris in the US presidential election—should be taken into account in addition to her economic clout.
