Description
Taylor Swift often references poetry in her lyrics, even sharing her own. This talk explores her lyrics through a poetic lens comparing them to prominent nineteenth and twentieth century poets such as Sylvia Plath, Robert Frost, and Emily Dickinson. By analysing sound, technique, and themes, it will highlight how Swift’s lyrics can be read as poetry, making this art-form more accessible to a wider audience.
