This is the local story that caused this thread:
The bad part comes at around the one minute mark.
Unfortunatelyh, this story has been overshadowed by the flooding in Kerr County, Texas.
I was expecting this to be a thread about Swift.

Ahem, that's Stevie Wonder's Institute For Trucking where they say, "Sure Wish I Finished Training."

I presume those are Taylor Swift songs?

Two parts of the same song, but yes.
I attended the most recent annual convention of Southern Baptist pastors in this region of Kansas. One of the events they did at the convention was to draw random names (from a pool of both pastors and their wives) to come up to the front, and then they had an elimination challenge: was a given quote written by C. S. Lewis or by Taylor Swift. There were a couple of men who were plenty embarrassed at how well they did—not because of their exhaustive knowledge of Lewis, but of Swift.

I'm a little surprised that they were able to find any passages of Swift's that could have been plausibly written by Lewis or vice versa.
