Blue Jays star pitcher Kevin Gausman has struck a chord with fans after sharing his love for pop icon Nelly Furtado on social media!

Before the Blue Jays took on the Brewers, Gausman tweeted, "Decided to listen to the radio this morning, pulled up to the Rogers Centre rocking some Nelly Furtado! It just felt right, I’m not going to lie," accompanied by three Canada flag emojis. This delightful shoutout quickly ignited a frenzy online, amassing nearly 7,000 likes and over 287,000 views!

Fans were charmed by Gausman’s enthusiasm for Canadian culture, with many urging for him to receive Canadian citizenship. One enthusiastic Reddit user exclaimed, "I love how much Gausman has embraced Toronto and Canadian culture while living here!" Another chimed in, "Give this man citizenship already!"

Despite the Blue Jays struggling in their series against the Brewers, Gausman's Nelly Furtado mention seemed to spark a turnaround. The team bounced back with a resounding 8-4 victory, bolstered by a bullpen that delivered five shutout innings.

Gausman has developed quite a presence on social media, often sharing his humorous takes on life in Toronto. Earlier this month, he lamented the difficulties of finding free parking in the city, which resonated with many locals. His post about the parking woes garnered over 380,000 views and sparked a flurry of amused replies.

In a previous humorous tweet, the two-time All-Star even inquired about where to find a flamethrower in Toronto, presumably in jest. Gausman also entertained fans with a lighthearted interaction featuring his daughter during a Taylor Swift concert, showcasing his fun-loving personality.

As the Blue Jays gear up for the rest of the season, fans are not just cheering for the team; they are also rallying behind one of its vibrant stars!
