Former Boyzone singer Shane Lynch is accusing Taylor Swift of engaging in “demonic rituals” during her ongoing Eras Tour, which has most recently taken the pop star to Australia.
“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,” Lynch told Ireland’s Sunday World.
He continued, “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.”

The Irish-born singer went on to say there are many “hidden satanic” messages in popular music today.
“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,” said Lynch. “It’s very real.”
He explained music “attaches to your emotions” and “has a connection to your spirit and how you feel,” adding, “That’s why I’ve stopped listening to those types of music myself, because it doesn’t suit my spirit.”
The 47-year-old Lynch, a professing Christian, said music “100% has an effect on society” — particularly children — and is geared toward turning people away from godly principles.

“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,” he said. “It’s getting wilder and wilder out there for a reason. … Music is dangerous.”
This is not the first time Swift, 34, has drawn ire over this issue.
The “Lover” singer-songwriter faced backlash for the 2020 music video for “Willow.” In it, the pop star is seen observing what some believe portrayed an occultic ritual. She also previously described the song as sounding “like casting a spell to make someone fall in love with you.”
And in a later post about a remix of the song, Swift wrote on social media, “Witches be like ‘Sometimes I just want to listen to music while pining away/sulking/staring out a window.’ It’s me. I’m witches.”
