Satanic taylor swift

With her continuing and massively popular Eras tour, its accompanying blockbuster film and an intense album release schedule, Taylor Swift is inarguably today’s biggest pop star, and quite possibly the biggest there has ever been. A billionaire from the proceeds of all this, by rights she ought to be at the “pet chimp and personal theme park” level of eccentricity by now, but against all odds she projects a slightly bland image of grounded sensibleness and has an inclination towards socially conscious low-key generosity in the George Michael mould. This, along with her ubiquity, makes her an ideal canvas upon which others can project their fantasies, not least that Swift is a pawn of the Illuminati (see Conspirasphere, p.11), along with Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kesha and the late David Bowie.

He also condemns Sam Smith and Beyoncé as “so demonic it’s unbelievable”. Lynch asserts that when he was in the music industry, albums routinely had Satanic prayers said over them to ensure success, and that he witnessed this. He shuns entire genres, particularly hip-hop and grime, for their Satanic associations, explaining that “there is a lot of hidden Satanic [sic] and a lot of evil within them, including dow
