A Taylor Swift clue on “Jeopardy!” left all three contestants stumped on Wednesday night’s show.<\/p>\n

Contestant Matt Mierswa chose a clue in the “Title That Completes the Rhyme” category for $400, and it just happened to be Swift-related.<\/p>\n

“And I’m just like oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, you need to just stop, like can you just not, step on my gown?” Host Ken Jennings read off the clue card.<\/p>\n

“I really wish this was Johnny [Gilbert] reading these,” Jennings responded when Mierswa was unable to give an answer. “This is ‘You Need to Calm Down’ by Taylor Swift.”<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to jump on Twitter and complain about the contestants not recognizing one of Swift’s famous songs.<\/p>\n

“None of the jeopardy contestants got the Taylor swift clue shut the whole show down,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“Everyone who makes it on to #Jeopardy clearly has a crown in my book, but I cannot calm down when there is a triple stumper Taylor Swift clue,” another added.<\/p>\n

“THE WAY NO ONE KNEW?!?!?” one user said.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone watching from home knew the correct answer.<\/p>\n

“Wow @jeopardy may have had the “youngest” category ever with the complete the rhyme. Even I was too old to get the @taylorswift13 question,” a user wrote.<\/p>\n
