The film is a remake of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew".
Kat's last name is Stratford. A homage to Shakespeare's home town perhaps?
The music store where Kat plays with the guitar is called Gil's. This is a sly reference to the film's director, Gil Junger.
The book Kat is reading at the beginning of the movie is "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, which is about a young girl's descent into madness.You may also like: 13 Going On 30 | Titanic | Friends | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets | The 40 Year Old Virgin
