There was a power outage at the Washington Nationals’ ball park and Max Scherzer thinks Taylor Swift is to blame.
The Washington Nationals game against the Los Angeles Dodgers got off to a rocky start when the power went out. Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer, who has been pitching lights out this year (pun intended), has an idea of who is at fault for this.
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

It is an interesting theory and a clever use of a Swift song title as well. This could potentially fuel a few more hit songs for Swift.
Scherzer wasn’t the only one blaming T-Swift, the Dodgers’ Joc Pederson also made the connection.
Dodgers’ Brett Anderson was also a fan of the theory.
I like the theory that the lights are Taylor Swift's fault.

But the answer might have been in front of everyone’s faces the whole time, Bryce Harper and his obsession with his looks.
My bad everybody..I knew I shouldn't of used that blow dryer before the game! #shortage
