Annotation:
	Drawing on ideas of "affinity spaces," suggests pedagogical value of pairing Shakespeare with "texts that students love outside the bounds of school," in this case, Taylor Swift's Midnights album (2022). Offers prompts to compare Swift's lyrics with Shakespeare's sonnets in an undergraduate classroom. English summary, 7.
