HOW CAN TAYLOR SWIFT HELP BELLINGHAM WIN? An old tweet quoting the Barcelona star was made viral by Taylor Swift fans (Swifties), in which he said: “Do I like Taylor Swift? No, I don’t like her music.” The Swifties were unhappy with Balde’s statement and decided to vote in numbers in favour of Bellingham for the 2023 Golden Boy. By midnight on Wednesday, the English midfielder’s vote count reportedly rose from 30 percent to 89 percent, as per Tribuna.
