Swifties Outraged: 'Celebrity Jeopardy' Shady Move Leaves Taylor Swift's Category Untouched

As the December 6 episode of "Celebrity Jeopardy" concludes, fans began to wonder why the celebrities saved the most challenging category for last.

Kyra Sedgwick, Mo Rocca, and Amanda Seales faced the challenge with determination and grace.

Entering the final quarterfinal game of the year, hosted by Ken Jennings at 49 years old, two competitors faced off. During "Double Jeopardy!," a peculiar category was presented: "Also A Taylor Swift Song."

Taylor Swift Category

As the round drew to a close, only one category was left unchecked on the board - and Taylor Swift's fans would have seized it without hesitation. Nonetheless, none of the celebrities elected to choose that option.

The least amount of money was offered to the celebrities on the show for this particular query: "Be sure to use cold water with a low spin speed when washing lingerie and silk ties in the machine."

Unfortunately, they were only able to answer it correctly, per The Sun.

Viewers of the show on X, once known as Twitter, were outraged when Taylor's category received no recognition.

One fan tweeted: "It's as if they are purposely avoiding the Taylor Swift category. What an insult to one who has just been crowned Time Person of the Year!"

Expressing frustration, someone inquired: "What's the deal with not playing 'Also a Taylor Swift Song' on Celeb Jeopardy?!"

Taylor Swift, Beyonce Pitted Against Each Other

This summer, two of the most widely anticipated tours were Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" and Beyonce's "Renaissance" World Tour.

Understandably so, considering both artists- Taylor and Beyonce enjoy worldwide fame for their musical contributions. Comparisons between the two were inescapable.

As the magazine Time noted, Taylor expressed his frustration with how "rival" tours were presented.

The "Anti-Hero" singer stated that it was "vexing." Consequently, this became a focus of their discussion.

"There were so many stadium tours this summer, but the only ones that were compared were me and Beyonce," the 33-year-old Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter said.

"Clearly it's very lucrative for the media and stan culture to pit two women against each other, even when those two artists in question refuse to participate in that discussion."

Taylor addressed the notion of female artists being compared to each other but also pointed out that with the great success found in art created by women, it's likely that they'll be able to spread their perspectives more widely.

"What fuels a patriarchal society? Money, the flow of revenue, the economy. So actually, if we're going to look at this in the most cynical way possible, feminine ideas becoming lucrative means that more female art will get made. It's extremely heartening."
