Thanks to our audience for the fantastic questions, from panellist’s favourite album, to what makes Taylor’s business model different, to should we expect more politically from Taylor as a white privileged artist. Brilliant discussion

@laurenahooper
We tried so hard to tell everyone — media included! — that we were not the first. We even put it in our program! The only reason we can think for why we became newsworthy was the timing and perhaps that we are in Australia so it makes it “quirky”

One of our organisers,
@JenniferBeckett
spoke to BBC women's hour about why this Swiftposium is important!
#Swiftposium2024
'When a person like Taylor Swift has an outsized impact on the economy... those things are worthwhile to critically engage with'
@JenniferBeckett
told
@emmabarnett
why she's organised a Taylor Swift Symposium at
@UniMelb
, which will see academics gather to discuss the singer.
