Will Lightning Strike Twice? Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ Release May Augur Well for Philadelphia Phillies’ World Series 2022 Chances

While the baseball world is not sure which team will win the championship between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros, the Phillies fans are glad that pop star Taylor Swift released her album “Midnights’ at the right time.

When the 2022 regular season started, the Philadelphia Phillies were not the favorites for playing the World Series. But here they are; all set to play the Fall Classic ahead of teams like the LA Dodgers, New York Mets, and Atlanta Braves.

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.

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.
