Taylor Swift question stumps 'Jeopardy!' contestants 

During a recent episode of 'Jeopardy: Tournament of Champions', all three contestants were left stumped by a Taylor Swift question, much to their amusement and chagrin.

In the 'Songs of Youth' category, host Ken Jennings presented the $400 clue, which referenced a Taylor Swift song inspired by her friend's experience of love at a certain age. The prompt read, "Inspired by her bestie, Tay Tay sang when 'somebody tells you they love you' at this title age 'you're gonna believe them'."

Despite their best efforts, none of the contestants could provide the correct answer. Troy Meyer guessed 17, while Yogesh Raut opted for 22. However, the correct response was 'Fifteen', referring to Swift's country pop song from her album 'Fearless', released in 2008. After the reveal, Meyer jokingly remarked, "We're gonna get killed for that," acknowledging the likelihood of facing scrutiny from Swift's passionate fanbase.

Former Rep George Santos jokes about Taylor Swift's endorsement

Former Rep George Santos sparked controversy with a tongue-in-cheek prediction about Taylor Swift's potential political endorsement. On Saturday, Santos humorously speculated that Swift would endorse President Joe Biden, citing her penchant for songs about choosing the wrong romantic partners.

Santos' jest referenced Swift's previous endorsement of Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Despite the humorous tone, Swift's political activism is well-known, as she has actively encouraged voter registration and participation among her followers. While Santos has not formally endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election, his comment adds to the ongoing political discourse surrounding Swift and her potential involvement in future campaigns.

Santos, who faced expulsion from Congress last year, is currently seeking reelection in New York's 1st Congressional District. Despite lacking endorsements in his second campaign, Santos remains active in political circles.
