The Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers were forced to suspend Friday night’s game, and if you ask Max Scherzer, it’s all Taylor Swift’s fault.

Nationals Park experienced three separate power outages to its stadium lights throughout the night, causing two separate delays that totaled more than two hours. After the third delay at the beginning of the sixth inning, the two teams couldn’t shake it off any longer and agreed to suspend the game and resume play Saturday.

So what caused the annoying outages? Scherzer had a Taylor Swift theory, and he was rather fearless about expressing it.

The Dodgers and Nationals will begin again at 2:05 p.m. ET on Saturday with Washington leading 3-2, and for Swift’s sake, let’s hope no lights are needed.
