Across Acoustics

The Eras of Taylor Swift's Changing Dialect

10 Nov 2025

Description

Longitudinal studies of how an individual's accent changes over the course of their life are hard to come by. Fortunately, Taylor Swift's decade-plus career-- and the numerous interviews she's given over those years-- has opened a window into our understanding of how and why dialect changes may occur on an individual level. We talk to Miski Mohamed and Matthew Winn (University of Minnesota) about their work analyzing the shifts in Taylor Swift's speech over the years.Associated paper:- Miski Mohamed and Matthew B. Winn.
