This talk is a must for any ‘Swifties’ as our speakers explore the speech (both spoken and song performance) of Taylor Swift. Popular discussion from Taylor’s fanbase discusses how Swift’s earlier music was performed with a Southern American accent, while her more recent music is performed with a Northern American accent.
Guiding us through this talk are two Swiftie experts: Dr Helen West of University of Chester and Dr Esther Humphries, Independent Researcher. The pair have recently teamed up to research how Taylor Swift’s accent changes between her country and pop style music. This promises to be a fascinating evening for anyone interested in language, music, American culture and of course Taylor Swift!
