Ah, the University of the Philippines, where taxpayer money isn’t just for textbooks and lab equipment; it’s also for diving deep into the lyrical genius of Taylor Swift. 

Who needs Jose Rizal’s groundbreaking literature or Nora Aunor’s iconic performances when you can dissect the deeper meaning behind “Shake It Off” or “Blank Space”? 

Clearly, UP knows where its priorities lie – forget about national heroes; let’s idolize pop stars instead. After all, who needs historical context or cultural significance when you can analyze the evolution of Swift’s hairstyles over the years? 

Perhaps next semester, they’ll offer a course on the intricacies of Justin Bieber’s discography and tattoos or the symbolism behind Ariana Grande’s ponytail. Because why study the past when you can study the latest Billboard charts? 

UP, where academics meet the latest pop sensation – talk about hitting the books, Taylor Swift style.
