A symposium dedicated to the Taylor Swift phenomenon in Australia. “We can learn a lot from her, but we also need to think critically” Singer, actress, Taylor Swift, 34, is also a poet, feminist icon and skillful businesswoman.

The conference also looked at "Swiftonomics", the economic impact of Taylor Swift's tours on cities, urban planning, public transport, restaurants and hotels. The famous Bee Gees song "Stayin' Alive" was taught for years as the rhythm for CPR; but scholars have identified Swift songs with the right number of beats per minute.
