When Midnights singer Taylor Swift got targeted by MLB players for something she did not even do

Taking to Twitter, Scherzer jokingly blamed Taylor for the same and said he has bad blood with the Midnights singer.

“Well, who was the last one to use Nationals Park last? Taylor Swift… I blame her for the power-outs tonight. We now have #BadBlood,” Scherzer tweeted in 2015.

Per Rolling Stone, just a day before the Nationals had to play the LA Dodgers, Taylor Swift performed at Nationals Park for thousands of people. And although it was just a mere coincidence, the very next the Nationals v/s Dodgers got suspended because of some electrical problems.
