Many on the right dislike Taylor Swift over her liberal politics and 2020 support of Joe Biden, but Christian musician Shane Lynch took things to a whole new level by accusing Swift of performing “demonic” rituals at her concerts. Such is what Lynch recently told Ireland’s Sunday World in an interview, pointing to costumes and imagery used by Swift and her fellow performers as evidence.

During the interview, Lynch argued that the problem is not just one of Taylor’s shows, but rather a large one across the music industry, with entertainers using all manner of symbols and rituals during their performances that he thinks are “satanic” and demonic.

Beginning, Lynch discussed the matter generally, saying that such “satanic rituals” take place in front of tens of thousands of people, many of whom don’t realize what is going on. “I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing,” he said.

Continuing, he pointed to Swift’s shows and argued that she uses things like “hoods” and “masks” that are “demonic.” He said, “You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies. Even down to Taylor Swift — one of the biggest artists in the world — you watch one of her shows and she has two or three different demonic rituals to do with the pentagrams on the ground, to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage. … But to a lot of people it’s just art and that’s how people are seeing it, unfortunately.”

Moving back to the industry generally, rather than just Taylor, Lynch argued that much of the music people listen to frequently has “hidden satanic” elements. He said, “When it comes to a lot of the music that’s out there at the moment — more of the hip-hop side of things — there is a lot of hidden satanic and a lot of evil within them, including down to the beats. It’s very real.”

Adding to that, Lynch explained why he thinks that music is such an important spiritual battleground, saying that its close connections to one’s emotions is very important. He said, “Music attaches to your emotions. It has a connection to your spirit and how you feel. That’s why I’ve stopped listening to those types of music myself because it doesn’t suit my spirit.”

Emphasizing that point, Lynch, a professing Christian and father, noted that music does effect society and that the current music is having a seriously deleterious effect on society. He said, “It 100 percent has an effect on society. I think our society has never been worse in many areas, and it starts from our children.”

Then, adding to his point, he emphasized that music is a dangerous force in society for those reasons. He said, “It’s coming in right at our children from the very beginning to get them to sway away from anything Godly, anything controlled or disciplined. It’s getting wilder and wilder out there for a reason. … Music is dangerous.”

Lynch isn’t the only one to allege that there’s satanism in the entertainment industry. China McClain, a former Disney star, alleged much the same thing, saying that Satanism is rampant in Hollywood. Watch her here:
