In a groundbreaking move that has left academia scratching its head, the University of the Philippines has announced a new course dedicated entirely to the intricate study of Taylor Swift – and no, it’s not about mastering auto-tune. Titled “Swiftian Studies: Decoding the Melodies of Emotion,” the course promises to delve deep into the lyrical nuances, cryptic messages, and hidden meanings behind every Taylor Swift song. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, as Swift recently made headlines for allegedly being less than thrilled about Jo Koy’s Golden Globes joke.

Not to be outshone, Ateneo de Manila is reportedly crafting its own curriculum, centered around none other than the Filipino American comedian The course, tentatively titled “Jo Koyology: Navigating Laughter and Cultural Commentary,” is shrouded in secrecy, with details being guarded more closely than the recipe for Ateneo’s cafeteria’s famous adobo. 

Academia has never been more entertaining, as universities race to embrace the pop culture icons du jour.
