Australia will host the first-ever international academic conference on the influence of Taylor Swift.
The “Swiftposium” is a gathering where people will talk about how the famous singer has affected things like the music industry, culture, and the economy.
The people planning the event that will last for three days are wishing that it will attract researchers from different countries in the Asia-Pacific area.
It will happen in February – during the same week Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour comes to Australia.
Swift became really famous when she was young. She has been involved in many important events and discussions throughout her career.
The person who is 33 years old has become very successful and respected in the art world. They have earned a lot of money and won many awards. They have also started discussions about different topics like how much artists get paid for their music and who owns the music. They have also talked about treating women badly and the practice of canceling people.
Swift’s Eras Tour is having a big impact. Ticketing sites have crashed because so many people are trying to buy tickets. Experts have even come up with a new trend called “Swiftonomics. ” In Victoria, Australia, they are quickly changing the laws about scalping.
“She’s really incredible,” said Swiftposium organizer Jennifer Beckett from the University of Melbourne in an interview with the BBC.
The event was initially suggested as a joke on Twitter, but it gained support from seven universities in Australia and New Zealand.
Dr Beckett said that Taylor Swift has a significant influence worldwide in areas that affect everyone, such as the role of women in industries, entertainment laws, and even the overall economic growth.
“Leaders from around the world are desperately asking her to bring the Eras Tour to their country because it brings economic advantages,” she said.
Swift has been taught in American universities before, but this is the first time people from all over the world are coming together to talk about her impact.
The people planning the conference want to cover topics like the popularity of fans, Swift’s team’s effective marketing strategies, and the singer-songwriter’s influence on conversations about gender, identity, race, and intersectionality. They also say that it is good to carefully examine and judge her brand and influence.
The people who will be speaking will be decided in the next few months, and there are plans to organize an event where fans can buy tickets to participate.
But they have kept an empty spot in the lineup for the superstar herself, just in case she wants to join.
Dr Beckett said that if Taylor Swift decides to come, we would all be very surprised, but she is definitely welcome to come.
“TayTay, if you want to join us, we would be very happy to have you. ”
