What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTaylor Swift performed The Fate of Ophelia live for the first time at the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala, the New York Post reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMarvellous. A gala honouring John Carpenter, Colman Domingo and Charlize Theron, and the headline is still the girl with the guitar.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShe played four songs. Showbiz411 says two were aimed at the Oscar and Grammy voters in the room.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAimed. At voters. So the gala was a rally with canapés, and nobody checked the guest list for undecideds.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe museum kept the set list private, Elle says, so the song details came from individual outlets.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA secret agenda. And the band was four backing singers, a guitarist, a bassist, a keyboardist, a drummer and two saxophonists, per Setlist.fm.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's a band.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's a delegation. Ten people on a stage in front of the voters, and the saxophonists will be whipping votes by Christmas.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's two saxophonists, Dale. The money goes to the museum's exhibitions, education programmes and public screenings.
