Which classic love story inspired Taylor Swift’s 2009 hit “Love Story”?

In 2009, Taylor Swift released “>Love Story,”> echoing the timeless tale of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, with all its balcony drama and star-crossed love. Fast forward to 2023, and Swift’s lyrical prowess inspires an entire university course in Belgium. The University of Ghent is set to launch “>Literature (Taylor’s Version)”> this autumn, where students will dive deep into literary classics, all through Swift’s songs. This elective course is considered the first of its kind in Europe. New York University’s Clive Davis Institute introduced a Swift-inspired course in 2022, focusing on her impact on country music.
