Ang tatalakayin daw sa nasabing subject ay ang “conception, construction, and the performance of Taylor Swift as a celebrity.”
Bukod diyan, pag-uusapan din daw sa klase ang media relationship ng international pop star pagdating sa “class, politics, gender, race, and fantasies of success and mobility.”
Nakapanayam ng GMA News Online si Prof. Brillon at inamin niya mismo na isa rin siyang Swiftie.
Ayon sa kanya, “I’m very interested in how Filipinos have appropriated Taylor Swift as an icon.”
“It is also interesting for me how Taylor Swift has inspired her Filipino fans in a kind of political activism that was very evident in the last elections,” sey pa niya.
Para sa kaalaman ng marami, unang nagkaroon ng Taylor Swift subject ang ilang sikat na unibersidad sa ibang bansa.
Kabilang na riyan ang Harvard University, Stanford University at New York University.
