Taylor Swift’s statement endorsing Kamala Harris for President.
Can’t help thinking of @Captain_Boot’s work hearing Taylor explicitly talk about transportation

Nice for Swiftposium to get a mention in this piece from the Guardian today, alongside @fansumption theguardian.com/music/article/…
...Ready for it? Just 2 weeks until the first European Conference on Taylor Swift!'F**k the Patriarchy': A Taylor Swift Conference, hosted by @UniKent. Students, academics and swifties all welcome 💜 taylorswiftconference.wordpress.com you can register for free tickets online or in-person🥰
Condolences to everyone having to update their papers right now
The academic experience #TTPD
I'm excited to say that the Taylor Swift & Swiftie Studies area of @southwestpca is now accepting proposals for the 2024 Summer Salon, which will be held online. Full #cfp below. I hope my @swiftposium friends will consider submitting and sharing!
💥New: Swiftposium - Why we held an academic conference on the world’s biggest pop star @binarythis, @EloiseFaichney, Rebecca Trelease & @emmawhatman #Swiftposium #HigherEducation #AcademicChatter wp.me/p4m9em-cSE
Just a note to delegates that we are aware some people are still having trouble accessing the Zoom recordings — our team is on it and will contact you as soon as we can 🙏🏼✨
Brittany Spanos taught one of the first-ever courses on Taylor Swift at @nyuniversity last year. In her keynote address at @swiftposium, she discusses Taylor’s meteoric rise to fame and the importance of academic analysis of her art and career. More → unimelb.me/3T8zzKp
Finished my Sylvia Plath-Taylor Swift seminar series with a glorious discussion on rebirth, authenticity, and multiple selves. If you are interested in similar, intellectually stimulating discussions with fans and readers join the April seminar on #TTPD: eventbrite.ie/e/sylvia-plath…
Still catching up on the immense wealth of material at the @swiftposium and I'm so pleased with the amount of times Sylvia Plath was brought into parallel with Taylor Swift, and even my blog was referenced in one of the presentations??? I'm honoured 🥺
For those of you asking for this — our end of conference photo of those who presented in person (and were still hanging around after the two day marathon)! 🌈 #Swiftposium #Swiftposium2024
What’s the big deal about Taylor Swift anyway? Dr Georgia Carroll delivered a keynote presentation at our recent @swiftposium conference exploring this and many more questions in her presentation. Watch the full recording now → unimelb.me/49DrMdv
Just a reminder to any #Swiftposium delegates that you can still catch up on papers you missed via the online Zoom events platform. The recordings are great! ✨✨✨
Are celebrities becoming more than entertainers? @Dr_HaoXu says music stars like Taylor Swift are now using their fame and fans to engage with socio-political issues, blurring the line between celebrity and activism. Read the full @swiftposium story→ unimelb.me/3OOZyUK
Was interviewed by @brodielancaster for this month’s The Big Issue, get your copy from a local vendor when you can!
We featured on the 7:30 Report last night, catch it here @UniMelb @ArtsUnimelb abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…
Congratulations to Associate Professor Samantha Owen, Elizabeth Baca, Associate Professor Madeleine Dobson and colleagues on Swiftposium, which was held in Melbourne this time last week 👏 🧵 (1/5) #swiftposium2024 @CurtinUni @CurtinGRN @SamanthaOwen_7 @drm_mrd @elizabethrbaca
And shout out to the @swiftposium for leading the academic charge and recognising this cultural moment needed scholarly attention and critique by bringing together a group of amazing interdisciplinary researchers - looking forward to seeing all the projects presented develop 🫶
