Although it is just a speculation, a section of the Phillies fans believes the Phillies’ chances to win the World Series rest on Taylor’s shoulders.

Will Taylor Swift and her recent album “Midnights” be a lucky charm for the Philadelphia Phillies?

Taylor Swift has been nothing but a baseball divinity of sorts for a few baseball fans. Her albums have been a lucky charm for the San Francisco Giants winning three World Series titles in 2010, 2012, and 2014.

Per the Ringer, every time Taylor released her albums in the autumns of 2010, 2012, and 2014, it led them to win the championship on each occasion. Even in 2008, when she sang the national anthem for the Phillies, it led them to triumph.

Not many people might be aware, but Taylor, who recently released her album “midnights,” was born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania. She grew up as a Phillies fan. Even when she released her album “Red” in 2012, many related it to the Phillies.

And now, when the Philadelphia Phillies are playing the World Series this year, many Phillies fans believe that they might win the prestigious title because of Taylor’s lucky charm.
