Astros move up Taylor Swift concert for possible playoff run

At the time, not many, if any, expected what the Astros have done so far this year. Today Taylor Swift was forced to reschedule a concert set for October because it might have conflicted with an Astros postseason game.

“The new show date will ensure that fans of Taylor Swift will have every opportunity to see her perform at Minute Maid Park, as the September 9th date does not conflict with any potential postseason baseball”, the Astros said in a press release.

Winning games is great and everything, but the Houston Astros have stumbled upon a supplementary bonus for not being bad anymore: the right to mess with Taylor Swift’s plans.

Houston is now 55-45, holding the first AL wild-card spot and just a game back of the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West. The Astros are serious about making a run this year too, as last week they traded for left-hander Scott Kazmir, one of the best available pitcher on the market.

The team announced Monday that it had moved up the date of the Grammy Award-winning singer’s show in Houston from October 13 to September 9.

Fans can either keep their same tickets to the Swift concert or receive a refund.
