Uni Wien Examines Taylor Swift from a Theological Perspective

Under the title "Take us to Church, Taylor!" lectures and discussions will continue on Friday about the "religious impact" on the audience or the biblical exegesis of the superstar's song lyrics.

University of Vienna Approaches Taylor Swift from a Theological Perspective

In principle, theologians of different disciplines want to academically pursue the Swift hype and discuss which religious elements can be found in Swift's music and appearance. "The singer is revered by her fans as a kind of everyday saint, and she obviously satisfies spiritual needs," explained organiser and social ethicist Linda Kreuzer, according to Kathpress. The idea for the workshop came to her and her colleagues after the cancellation of the Vienna concerts in the summer: "We were sad for different reasons after the cancellation and discussed over lunch what appeals to people about Taylor Swift." The results of the event are to be published as scientific papers and presented at possible follow-up events.
