She's a legend and a phenomenon around the world— and now the subject of an academic conference that kicked off today in Bloomington.
INDIANAPOLIS — In less than a year from now, a superstar singer and songwriter will perform for three nights at a sold out Lucas Oil Stadium.
It's no different for the historic Buskirk-Chumley theater in Bloomington -- the site of the world's first academic conference focused on all things Taylor Swift. "Taylor swift: The Conference Era" is the brainchild of Natalia Almanza, a member of IU's Arts and Humanities council. They dive into the ways she is breaking barriers, making historic contributions, influencing voters, and selling out stadiums around the globe.
The organizers paid attention to every detail. There's even drink specials available named after some Taylor Swift songs: Cruel Summer, Red, and one of Taylor's favorites, a vodka and diet coke. "I think that's what keeps us all hooked. The push and pull. The glitter and then the sort of dustiness of the folk movement that she's got in her aesthetics. So, that's where I'm at," Mahmassani said.
