Taylor Swift has moved on from our former feud and set her target on all of baseball.  It’s a big target, yes, but systematically as her star has risen to playing tons of outdoor stadium concerts she has taken it upon herself to cast a curse on her hosts.

Consider the evidence.  The Washington Nationals were 48-39 and led their division by two games on July 13 when Taylor came to town to play two nights of shows.  Baseball fans were happy.  Swifities were happy.

But things fell apart as soon as Taylor left town.  During the first game after the concerts, the lights went out multiple times, ultimately leading to the game being suspended.  The Nats short-circuited too, collapsing in spectacular fashion with a 32-39 record since she walked off stage.

Taylor went on to do string of shows at football stadiums, an NBA arena and one home to an NHL team.  On August 29 she returned to the Major Leagues at the home of the San Diego Padres.  How did that turn out?  Let’s consult the table showing Record After Taylor (RAT):

That’s right, Taylor showed us incredible things and all the Padres have to show for it is bad blood and an 11-18 record since.

The story of the Houston Astros is more tragic.  Emerging from years of futility to compete for a playoff spot unexpectedly early in their rebuild cycle, they led their division by two games after crushing Oakland at the same time Taylor was on stage at their home.

Their next eight games looked like this: L, L, W, L, L, L, L, L.  Just like that they trailed the division by two and a half games.  That’s where they sit now heading into the final weekend of the season with their 8-11 RAT.

One of the great stories in the league this year has been the Toronto Blue Jays, who were under .500 midway through the year and now have the best record in the American League.  But they shouldn’t jump ahead to making World Series plans or even any arrangements for the second round of the playoffs.

Taylor Swift is playing shows at their stadium on Friday and Saturday.  The last time that happened, in 2013, a much worse version of the Blue Jays saw their record decline in line with the curse.

Maybe one day Taylor will shake off her hatred for great things like baseball and let them fill the blank space in her heart.  I knew she was trouble.
