  The New York University’s Clive Davis Institute has launched its first-ever course about the pop star Taylor Swift, February 2, Wednesday.

  The class, which started on January 26 and will continue until March 9, covers the singer-songwriter’s evolution as a creative music entrepreneur, the legacy of pop and country songwriters, discourses of youth and girlhood, and the politics of race in contemporary popular music.

  Though still pending, Swift has been invited to speak to the class. Some who signed up in the course noted that the program has a long waiting list.

  Chaired by veteran music writer and musician Jason King, the Davis Institute has included classes taught by Questlove, ‘Dilla Time’ author Dan Charnas, Q-Tip, legendary producer-engineer Bob Power and many others.
