The move from Taylor Swiftโs fans comes following a viral video where Golden Boy award competitor Alejandro Balde commented his dislike for Swift.

During an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Balde stated:
Do I like Taylor Swift? No, I don’t like her music.โ
Obviously Taylor Swift fans were not too keen on the comment and quickly turned against Balde in the votings.
Taylor Swift fans push votes for Jude Bellingham
Following the now viral video of Balde, Swiftsโ fans have seemingly turned the vote around. Balde was initially leading the Golden Boy award voting poll, with over 30,000 votes, however, this has changed dramatically. According to renowned Spanish journalist Martin Manin, Bellingham has now garnered a shocking 100,000 votes in just a short period of time following an unlikely push for Swifties.
As such, Bellingham could win the award if this continues, and would be the perfect end to a stellar season. The midfielder has already become the first Englishman to win La Liga’s Player of the Month following his move to Real Madrid. Moreover, he has already scored five goals and one assist across four games for Madrid so far this season.
Meanwhile, Balde will be looking to win the prestigious award following a great season. Aside from that, the previous two winners across the last two years have been Barcelona players. This means that Balde is hoping to become the third consecutive player from his club to win the award.

Meanwhile, Balde had a breakout season in the previous campaign, registering seven assists and scoring one goal across 44 games. He also won the La Liga title with Barcelona. As such, both players have amazing stats and are both worthy of winning the 2023 Golden Boy award.
