"Taylor Swift und die alten weißen Männer"

How do old white men talk about one of the greatest phenomenon of today’s pop culture, the singer-songwriter Taylor Swift? Prof. Dr. Jörn Glasenapp (University of Bamberg) spoke about and discussed this in his guest lecture. Being himself a committed Swifty, he shared his research on Taylor as a pop culture phenomenon in front of a really crowded audience.

The entertaining guest lecture organized within a cooperation by Prof. Dr. Daniel Illger (Chair of Popular Cultures) and Prof. Dr. Cornelia Müller (Chair of Language Use and Multimodal Communication) in a crowed lecture hall addressed the old white men, a highly discussed term, in pop and rock music. Knowing that his time is over, he tries to fight it with misogyny in general and toxic praise for the female artist Taylor Swift in particular.

But: Taylor Swift doesn’t put up with anything, especially not from men.
