Taylor Swift Candle Applauded for Contributing to Cubs’ Recent Success
The Chicago Cubs are on a hot streak, winning nine of their last 12 games, and they attribute some of their success to the influence of Taylor Swift. Manager Craig Counsell recently started a pregame ritual by lighting a scented candle themed around the pop star, and since then, the Cubs have climbed back into contention for a wild-card playoff spot, now just 5.5 games out following a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The team has notably scored 73 runs in those seven games, with double-digit scores in four of their victories. As the playoff chase intensifies, fans are cautiously optimistic that this newfound magic, bolstered by the Swift candle, could transform their season from a “cruel summer” into a captivating “baseball love story.”
