US-OSCARS-AFTERPARTY

Taylor Swift didn't release an album this year, therefore the Giants didn't go to the World Series. Or so the saying goes.

The Chicago Cubs stopped the San Francisco Giants from heading to the National League Championship Series and, in turn, the World Series Tuesday night.

But some Giants fans are laying the blame on one person who isn't on the roster: Taylor Swift.

As some ardent baseball enthusiasts have noted, Swift has previously released new albums in late October or early November on even-numbered years that the Giants just happened to win it all.

"Speak Now" in 2010. "Red" in 2012. "1989" in 2014.

But this year, Swift has remained silent. And so, it seems, will Giants fans as their team of choice may have inherited a curse of its own as the Cubs try and shake theirs.

It's just like the time "Back to the Future" fans thought the second movie predicted a Cubs win in 2015. And Giants fans are not having any of it.

I blame @taylorswift13 for not coming out with music this year. Amazing six years of baseball. Thank you @SFGiants. 👏🏻⚾️ — Big City Allan (@bigcityallan) October 12, 2016

You know what they say: It's not over until the blonde pop megastar doesn't sing.
