If you can get a reference to Taylor Swift into a headline, it probably multiplies your clicks by a few orders of magnitude, so journalists and/or editors are getting increasingly shameless. There was an article a few weeks ago about Scottish Fold cats having medical problems and they made the headline about Swift as she has one of those cats (whose medical history was not mentioned).
