This Final ‘Jeopardy’ Clue May Have Stumped Contestants, but Taylor Swift Fans at Home Knew the Answer

Swifties, this is your moment. The many fans of Taylor Swift rejoiced on Twitter after they realized they knew the answer to the final Jeopardy puzzle thanks to one of her songs.

In the category “Literary Groups,” the clue read, “Windermere, Thirlmere & Grasmere are 3 of the sites that helped give a 19th-century literary group this name.”

None of the contestants were able to guess the correct answer, which was the Lake Poets. However, contestant Ilhana Redzovic came out on top at the end of the episode with $20,400 in winnings.

Even though the clue stumped all three of the contestants, Taylor Swift fans at home knew the answer thanks to her song “The Lakes” from her 2020 album Folklore. The song directly references the area and the group of poets the Jeopardy clue is asking about.

“I only got Final Jeopardy right because of the song The Lakes by Taylor Swift. Don’t tell me she’s not an educator!” one fan wrote on Twitter.

I love it when I know Final Jeopardy answers due to my deep knowledge of the Taylor Swift discography.
