The University of Guelph will launch an online course titled "Icons of Popular Music," focused on Taylor Swift, in winter 2025. The course will explore her influence on social issues like gender politics and fan culture. Demand for the course has surged, with nearly 500 students signing up before its official announcement. The course quickly reached its 600-student limit shortly after the press release. The course is asynchronous, allowing students to learn at their own pace, with optional live discussions. Future plans may include similar courses on other popular musicians, depending on demand.
