Swifties can’t calm down over a major fail that was made onJeopardy!.
A song fromTaylor Swiftwas the answer to a $400 clue during the quiz show’s Wednesday episode. Unfortunately for contestants, knowledge of the 32-year-old “Blank Space” singer was not their strong suit.
In the “Title That Completes the Rhyme” category, which quizzes players on their music knowledge, hostKen Jenningsread: “And I’m just like oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, you need to just stop. Like, can you just not step on my gown?”
Clearly knowing the tune himself, Jennings, 48, did his best not to give too much away. But the contestants still stumbled over the clue, nonetheless.
Returning champ Matt Mierswa appeared to be completely stumped. After the beep indicated Mierswa’s time was up, Jennings told the players the correct answer.
“Everyone who makes it on to #Jeopardy clearly has a crown in my book, but I cannot calm down when there is a triple stumperTaylor Swiftclue,” wrote another Twitter userwroteas a third personsaid, “Having a little power trip bc I knew the answer to a Jeopardy question wasTaylor Swift& none of the contestants got it.”
One Swiftie evencalled the players “tasteless contestants.”
Despite the hiccup, Mierswa still came in first place and won a whopping $26,644.
This is not the first timeJeopardy!contestants have blanked on a musician or their discography. In December,Machine Gun Kelly(real nameColson Baker) was the answer to an $800 clue under the category “MUSICAL 3-INITIALers,” butnone of the contestants appeared to knowwho the multi-hyphenate celeb is.
“Not fans of Machine Gun Kelly, apparently,” Jennings then remarked to the contestants, who didn’t even recognize the photo that was paired with the clue.
