The University of Costa Rica (UCR) offers a new course "Taylor Swift y la literatura escrita por mujeres", or Taylor Swift and female-authored literature, which is inspired by the American singer-songwriter through its Faculty of General Studies.



The San José-based university said the program aims to analyze the cultural impact of Swift’s music and her role as a modern popular culture icon.



“Taylor Swift is a cultural phenomenon and a global figure who promotes female empowerment,the Faculty stated in a release.



The course was developed by professors Diana Alpízar and Mariela Romero, experts in Critical Reading of Language and Literature. It explores themes of women’s empowerment and resistance to patriarchal systems.



The curse will be offered on Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. until noon. Those interested can contact the General Studies Faculty at 2511-4165 or email cursos.libres@ucr.ac.cr



According to CNN’s report, How Taylor Swift became the Trojan horse of academia, many U.S. universities such as Harvard, the University of Texas, Stanford, Arizona State University, the University of Florida, and UC Berkeley, have also introduced courses focused on Swift’s work and cultural influence.








Taylor Swift  debuted as a country artist in 2006. Her Eras Tour (2023–2024) is reportedly the highest-grossing tour in history.


One of the world’s best-selling music artists, the first billionaire primarily from music, and the world’s richest female musician.


Publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Forbes have listed her among history's greatest artists. She is also the only artist named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2023.


Swift’s accolades include Grammy Awards (14),  American Music Awards (40), Billboard Music Awards (49), and MTV Video Music Awards (30).


She is also a vocal advocate for artists' rights and women’s empowerment.
