Taylor Swift has been a clue and a category on Jeopardy! in the past. This time, just as a clue, viewers were shocked that no one, not even a music executive could get it right. However, she may be a national treasure to many but maybe they did not think to focus on her. Or, maybe they just got their numbers confused. At least they tried but it is understandable that diehard Swifties were not happy with the outcome.
