Jude Bellingham closer to winning Golden Boy Award
Alejandro Balde, a rival of Barcelona, and Jude Bellingham are competing for the prestigious award. Bellingham previously held 30% of the popular vote, according to Tribuna. That is, until an old comment by Balde surfaced – helping Bellingham to shake off his competition.
The full-back is claimed to have said, ‘Do I like Taylor Swift? No, I don’t like her music.’ Spotting the comment, one fan wrote on Twitter, ‘Hey Swifties! we can’t let this Balde guy win the golden boy award Vote for Jude Bellingham here.’
Since then, the tweet has gotten close to 7,000 retweets and 30,000 likes. Jude Bellingham is now reportedly at 89 percent of the vote, up from only 30%. Swift’s following would not be the only factor in the England star’s victory.

Jude Bellingham has now joined the England team ahead of games against Scotland and Ukraine. Swift is currently on a world tour that is breaking records.
