New BYU course explores the philosophy of Taylor Swift

• The political science course's formal name is ""Miss Americana: Taylor Swift, Ethics and Political Society," KSL.com reports.

Details: Davis said he was first inspired by "Teardrops on my guitar," in which a 17-year-old Swift sings of keeping her love a secret from a boy who loves someone else.

• "All these questions are questions about ethics, and she's just interested in the ethics of all of those things," Davis told The Universe "… And so even though it's pop music; it's pop music that's about the moral structure of relationships."

The latest: Enrollment is full for the first semester.

The big picture: Swift is the subject of growing academic interest, with Stanford, Berkeley, University of Texas and NYU among the universities offering courses about her music.
