Aine McMenamin, a classics teacher at Norwich High School for Girls, recently participated in BBC's Mastermind, choosing Taylor Swift as her specialist subject. Despite initial concern about her students watching, she dedicated significant time to studying Swift's work, viewing the Eras tour film and analyzing lyrics. McMenamin aimed to differentiate her quiz choice from her teaching subjects, reflecting her personal interests. Her performance showcased her extensive knowledge, scoring a total of 19 points. The experience was both thrilling and nerve-wracking for her, particularly a moment when she had to navigate a question about Swift's hit song, 'Mastermind.'
I was watching the Eras tour film, listening to all her lyrics and making notes about her biographies.
When I told people I chose Taylor Swift as my subject, a lot of them were surprised because of my job.
The atmosphere in the TV studio during recording was nerve-wracking. It reminded me of childhood memories watching the show.
I admired her beautiful lyricism and was relieved to answer a classics-based question to avoid embarrassment back in the classroom.
