Taylor Swift is one of the world's most popular celebrities, with a fervent fanbase that continues to grow day by day. But surprisingly, one TV personality didn't know who the pop star was until just recently. NBC sports analyst and politics reporter  Steve Kornacki appeared on  Today  on Friday, Sept. 29, where it was revealed that he'd never heard of the superstar. While speaking about Swift's romance with NFL player Travis Kelce , Jacob Soboroff  (who was filling in for Carson Daly ) put Kornacki on the spot, announcing, "Steve just said he didn't know before this week who Taylor Swift was."  He added that his NBC News colleague had asked if Swift was an actress or musician. To be fair to Kornacki, Swift is both.  Soboroff pointed out to  Sheinelle Jones  that they should've known that the sports journalist wouldn't know much about pop culture outside of his beat, given his interests. "I said to Sheinelle, 'Have you ever looked at ...

Wildlife Experts Urge Against Classic Halloween Decoration

As we countdown to Halloween , one state is warning its residents against the use of a rather popular decoration: fake spider webs. According to experts with the Nebraska Wildlife Education group, the fake spider webs threaten critters like hummingbirds, owls, butterflies and bees, as the small creatures can become entangled in the decorations.  “Often, the creatures moving through the bushes or trees decorated with this material can get caught, resulting in the animals dying of injury, starvation or predation unless they are rescued and rehabilitated,” Amber Schiltz , interim division administrator of the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission’s (NGPC) Fish & Wildlife Education Division, wrote in an email to Fox News Digital . >>> Sign up for Parade's Trending News newsletter and we'll keep you in the know on the viral pop culture moments and celebrity news everyone is talking about <<< "These spider web decorations trap creatures by entangling t...
