Aston Villa's standout striker Ollie Watkins is making a strong bid for the Premier League Player of the Season title, and he's getting some unexpected support from the world of pop music – Taylor Swift's loyal fanbase, the Swifties! That's right, fans of Taylor Swift are being rallied to throw their weight behind Watkins as he aims for this prestigious football accolade.
Watkins, who has had an exceptional season with 19 goals and 12 assists in 35 appearances, has become the focal point of a social media campaign initiated by a Villa fan and self-proclaimed Swiftie.
The campaign urges Taylor's fans to support Watkins, emphasizing his admiration for the pop superstar and even revealing that he starts his mornings jamming to her latest album, #TTPD.
Adding more excitement to this already star-studded campaign, Watkins' girlfriend, Ellie Alderson, joined in by retweeting the post, amplifying the call for Swiftie support.
While Aston Villa's current position puts them in contention for a spot in the Champions League, sitting comfortably in fourth place and outpacing Tottenham by seven points, Watkins faces tough competition in his quest for Player of the Season.
He's competing against top players like Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Virgil van Dijk, and Alexander Isak, all of whom are also eyeing the same honor.
This isn't the first time Swift's fans have ventured into sports territory. Last year, the Swifties played a pivotal role in the 2023 Golden Boy Web award, helping Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham secure victory after a competitor expressed dislike for Swift's music.
Bellingham's votes soared from 30% to an impressive 89% after the Swifties intervened. As the Premier League season approaches its climax, all eyes are on whether the Swifties can once again influence the outcome and help Watkins secure the title.
