Illinois anticipates victory over Purdue, potentially aided by a Taylor Swift album release pattern

si.com

Illinois is predicted to defeat Purdue, potentially due to a perceived "Taylor Swift curse" affecting the Boilermakers. Purdue has reportedly never won a game following the release of a Taylor Swift album, a streak spanning ten releases since 2006. This trend has led to speculation that Swift's album releases may influence game outcomes, with Illinois hoping to benefit from this pattern.
