Jeopardy Contestant Redeems Taylor Swift Trivia Fail

25
Taylor Swift

Back in September, Drew Goins, a Jeopardy! contestant, stumbled on an $800 clue about Taylor Swift’s first Grammy-winning album.

The correct answer was “Fearless,” but neither Goins nor his competitors buzzed in. Swifties were unimpressed, and the moment became a sore spot, especially with Goins’ brother—a devoted Swift fan—watching in the audience.

A Chance for Redemption

Fast forward to Monday’s Second Chance Tournament, where Goins had an opportunity to right his wrongs. The clue? “In 2014, Taylor Swift gave us this album named for a different year.”

This time, Goins didn’t hesitate. With confidence, he buzzed in and answered, “What is 1989?” The audience erupted in applause, and even host Ken Jennings chimed in with, “Redemption for Drew!”

A Sweet Victory for Swifties

Goins’ brother, once again in the audience, witnessed the triumphant moment. Goins shared how much effort his brother had put into preparing him for any Swift-related questions, making the win all the more meaningful.

From Trivia Fail to Tournament Winner

Goins didn’t just redeem his Taylor Swift trivia skills—he went on to win the game, securing his spot in the tournament. The redemption arc is complete, proving that second chances can lead to triumph.

For Swifties, it’s a reminder that no one is beyond redemption, especially when they’ve brushed up on their Taylor Swift albums.
