BBC Two and Channel 4 have delighted viewers with their inspired soundtrack choices for reports on Prime Minister Liz Truss’s resignation.
The opening credits to Newsnight on Thursday (20 October) were a montage of Truss’s highlights and lowlights set to the soundtrack of Rihanna’s “Take a Bow”, which includes lyrics from “you look so dumb right now” to “don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not”.
The song’s lyrics were matched impeccably with moments from Truss’s short-lived premiership.
Channel 4 News, meanwhile, played Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” alongside clips of Truss – a self-proclaimed fan of Swift’s music.
“You look like my next mistake,” Swift can be heard singing, alongside a clip of Tory politicians applauding Truss.
Viewers found the music choices hilarious. “Absolutely Dying at @BBCNewsnight’s opening tonight!” tweeted one person. “Move over Channel 4…”
