Of course, that’s the spirit ❤️❤️

It is, even the students that may dislike Taylor will get that our point is related to them seeing plants

after that, they will keep seeing plants everywhere

I’m already expecting many botanical elements for the new album, one of the songs is called “Wood”, so, my hope is high 🤭🤭

That’s the idea!

Whether they love or hate Taylor, the method doesn’t require admiration or love for her, or for botany: it requires cognitive activation

students’ feelings for her motivate them anyway, bcs controversy sustains engagement

thus, MVs may trigger and activate students’ cognition 😃

I am really glad to hear that my article inspired you somehow ❤️

ps. supplementary data has a list with all MVs and all songs from Taylor’s discography/videography that reference plants
