Mirrorball: 13 Reflections

In this hybrid course, we dive into 13 iconic Taylor Swift songs, each chosen for its storytelling, emotional resonance, and universal themes. Through listening, discussion, and personal reflection, we’ll explore how music can illuminate our own experiences and foster self-understanding. Each session focuses on one song, analyzing the lyrics, narrative, and themes—such as love, loss, growth, and resilience—before shifting to reflective activities that encourage us to connect these themes with our lives.

Whether you're a dedicated Swiftie or new to her music, this course invites you to use these songs as a lens for self-exploration, creative expression, and meaningful conversation with your peers.
