Is this news?

So earlier this week I was watching some random news show in the morning and up came some news that Taylor Swift was writing songs about "Old boyfriends" again.   Now don't get me wrong, I understand people write about what they know, what bothers me most about this is, is that it was considered newsworthy?  This was on an actual news program.  What do you think peeps?  Should this be interrupting the many political, social  and world events happening?  Thoughts?
