Brittany Spanos: Swiftmania (Taylor’s Version)

Taylor Swift’s concerts have shifted the economic climate of entire cities; she has prompted US Senate hearings about major ticketing reforms and industry-defining conversations about copyright and ownership; and her public and private life have driven tabloid fodder for decades (Kimye drama, anyone?). The pop icon’s genre-bending career and reputation have made waves across the globe, and her cultural influence will be felt for generations.

In February, journalist Brittany Spanos and host Brodie Lancaster delve into the mythology and influence of Taylor Swift. A Senior Writer for Rolling Stone magazine, last year Spanos taught New York University’s first-ever course on Taylor Swift. At this exclusive Melbourne event, Spanos will analyse Swift’s meteoric ascent to become one of the most celebrated and prolific musical artists of all time, and her ongoing impact on fandom, popular culture and the music industry. Are you ready for it?

Brittany Spanos’s visit to Melbourne is part of the University of Melbourne’s Swiftposium conference. This will be her only public event.
