Bellingham is currently competing with Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde for the 2023 Golden Boy award. The Real Madrid star lagged behind in the votes until Tuesday, before Taylor Swift fans launched a media campaign against Balde.

An old tweet quoting the Barcelona star was widely circulated by Swifties (Taylor Swift fans), in which Balde said: “Do I like Taylor Swift? No, I don’t like her music “.

Swifties were not happy with Balde’s statement and decided to vote in favor of Bellingham for the 2023 Golden Boy . By midnight on Wednesday, the English midfielder’s votes were said to have increased from 30% to 89%, according to Tribuna.

Bellingham is having a dream start at Real Madrid, having scored 5 goals in 4 appearances in La Liga. Even though he only played a few matches, Bellingham scored more goals in La Liga than Eden Hazard, who played for Real for 4 years. Thanks to his classy moments of brilliance, the English midfielder immediately received his first award in his new environment, with the title of best player of August for both Real and La Liga.

Meanwhile, Balde has appeared in three matches in the national championship but has yet to score any goals or assists for Xavi’s team.
