She speaks to what Taylor represents, her fandom, and how and why Taylor has been dismissed and discredited over the years.  Dr. Elly McCausland teaches Literature: Taylor’s Version, which draws parallels between Taylor’s lyrics and some of the literary greats. She speaks to the backlash she’s received after her course was announced. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
