Taylor Swift fans outraged over ‘Jeopardy!’ contestants’ ignorance

nypost.com:

The clue, which was in the “Literary Groups” category, read: “Windermere, Thirlmere & Grasmere are 3 of the sites that helped give a 19th-century literary group this name.”The answer was, “What is the Lake Poets?” Two-day champion Diandra D’Alessio, Nathan Dennis and Ilhana Redzovic all guessed incorrectly.Contestants on the game show were stumped by the question, but fans of Swift were pointing out that they knew the answer thanks to the singer.Swift, 33, has a song called “The Lakes,” which is about going to the Lake District with her “muse” and leaving the rest of the world behind, on the deluxe version of her eighth studio album “Folklore.”Lyrics to the bonus track include: “Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die / I don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you” and “Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry / I’m setting off, but not without my muse.”The song references both the sites and poets that were part of the Final Jeopardy question and answer, and Swifties took to Twitter to share their knowledge.“Me swearing up and down for some reason I know the jeopardy final clue.

And can’t figure out why…Taylor swift is why,” one person tweeted. “The Lakes talks about Windermere peaks and she talks about the poets going there to die.”“Did I just know final Jeopardy because of The Lakes by @taylorswift13?!

Yes I did. Aren’t you proud @taylornation13?” another wrote.“I only got Final Jeopardy right because of the song The Lakes by Taylor Swift.
