'Jeopardy!' Contestant Gets Hilarious Redemption After Previously Flubbing Taylor Swift Question

Drew Goins faced the wrath of his Swiftie brother, Zach, back in September when he got a question about the pop singer wrong on Jeopardy!—but he got a chance at redemption, and he totally nailed it.

There's disappointing yourself, and then there's disappointing family members. Jeopardy! contestant Drew Goins experienced both last fall when he flubbed a question about Taylor Swift.

The September 2024 clue was, “The first of Taylor Swift’s record 4 AOTY Grammys was for this record in 2010.” The correct answer was “What is Fearless?” but the Honolulu journalist could not answer.


Goins may have been disappointed in himself, but he was even more worried about how his brother Zach would feel, as Zach is a diehard Swiftie.

“I got a Taylor Swift question wrong, and went home worried that the Swifties would come rip me out of my bed one night, but it turns out the angriest Swiftie was my brother, who is here today."

When Drew had another chance at Jeopardy, Zach helped him cram the night before—pointedly so.

“The night before taping, he had prepared an entire practice board for me… and it was entirely Taylor Swift.”

Luckily, Drew was able to make his brother proud when he got the last clue on the board...about a Taylor Swift album from 2014.

People thought his comeback was great.



Everyone loves a redemption arc.

People were fairly generous about Drew's flub.


People loved that Zach was in the audience this time.


Zach also appeared in the comments.


Fans can watch Jeopardy! on NBC, or catch up on streaming services.
