Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Enrique Iglesias and John Legend entertained about 10,000 Target employees Wednesday afternoon at the company's annual managers meeting at Target Center, according to our spy, Red Polo.

Legend reportedly closed the private event, and Swift surprised K102 with an unexpected phone call.

This was quite a lean lineup compared to previous such Big Red managers shindigs at Target Center. For instance, last year's extravaganza featured Pearl Jam, Norah Jones, Lady Antebellum, Michael Buble, Nick Jonas & the Administration and Winter Olympics gold medalist Shaun White and actor Tim Allen.

Maybe Target redirected some of its entertainment budget this year to donations to political action funds instead.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
