Stanford University is offering a unique course called "All Too Well (Ten Week Version)," where students will analyze Taylor Swift's 2021 hit song in-depth.

Taylor Swift has become an object of study in academia because of her success as a singer-songwriter. She received a Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, from NYU in May 2022. Also, she gave her first-ever commencement speech during the commencement ceremony at Yankee Stadium.

"Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable," Swift starts, later referencing her hit 1989 song. "To all the parents, family members, mentors, teachers, allies, friends, and loved ones here today who have supported these students ... let me say to you now: Welcome to New York. It's been waiting for you."
