OK, so Sam Smith wasn’t exactly subtle on his last tour with his giant red horns and glittery King of Hell trident. The red and black colour scheme left no doubt. But isn’t it all just dressing up for shock value, especially when paired with corsets and fishnets?
Apparently not, as one star warns that concert-goers and especially innocent children are increasingly at risk from thinly-veiled demonic rituals being carried out in front of them onstage during superstar tours, like Taylor Swift’s current record-breaking Eras extravaganza.
Boyzone’s Keith Duffy has declared again that too much modern music has “a lot of hidden Satanic and a lot of evil within” it, and singled out Swift.
Duffy told Sunday World: “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.”
The devout catholic says she is just one of the stars performing “Satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realising,” and cites other demonic evidence like, “hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies.”
The Irish star thinks naive audiences only see it as entertainment and art, but claims: “It’s coming in right at our children from the very beginning to get them to sway away from anything Godly.”
Last year, Duffy publicly denounced megastars Sam Smith and Beyoncé as “so demonic it’s unbelievable.”
Smith has drawn intense attention and some criticism for his sexualised and religious imagery and outfits but Swift has rarely attracted such virulent controversy. Many of her latest costimes appear to be girlish, romantic and even sweetly princessy. A previous attempt to claim that she was making the sign of the Devil was explained that it was actually sign language for ‘I love you.’
Decades ago, Madonna pushed religious boundaries with costumes, lyrics and even a statue of Jesus coming to life in her 1989 Like A Prayer video. The video was banned by The Vatican, which also tried to stop her from entering and performing in Italy.
Taylor Swift, meanwhile is currently unstoppable. Alongside recently becoming the first female artist to win three Album of the year Grammys, she was also Time Magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year and Spotify’s most streamed artist globally.
She is such a dominant social force that Far Right conspiracists in the US also claim that her relationship with Travis Kelce and his recent Super Bowl win are part of a secret plot by the Democrats to influence the upcoming Presidential election.
The pop icon will probably be too busy counting her money. The Eras tour already became the first by any artist to gross more than a billion dollars last year and is set to repeat that feat once more this year. The projected two billion banked will add to the record-breaking $250million taken by the filmed version.
Whether or not any black magic was involved remains to be seen…
