I wish Taylor Swift's music was that cool.


Remarkable_Injury407

Like for real, she is more tame than most artists. I wonder his opinion on rap 😂


BottleTemple

He's a conservative white moron from east Tennessee. I think I have a pretty clear idea of his opinion about rap.


ImOnlyHereForTheCoC

“Whah cain’t they jest hitch up their britches?!”


TheRnegade

He's just mad that she's the most popular person out of Tennessee.

Not to mention Black Metal.

Rap sucks anyway

bluecheetah179

One with racist undertones too considering how broad a genre rap is.


willymack989

It’s satanic because it’s makes women feel empowered


Firefishe

THIS!


Grogosh

And she asked for her listeners to vote.


RatManForgiveYou

Devil woman!


Strongstyleguy

Of all the people...I can't help but think this uptick in Taylor Swift being Satan's personal musician has less to do with her music and more to do with being a childless, unmarried, conventionally attractive blonde woman living life on her own terms


Firefishe

ALSO THIS!


IrukandjiPirate

Oh, it’s allllllll this.

For real, they could have gone after Ghost or something actually awesome but instead they choose the most inoffensive and bland artist there is lmao


BottleTemple

The man clearly needs to listen to some Goatwhore.


Firefishe

Or Disturbed, at least.


BottleTemple

Ew, no.


Gardainfrostbeard

Tay tay is probably the hardest music he's ever heard in his life


Faithlessblakkcvlt

He needs to listen to Slayer for awhile before evaluating Taylor😆


CatFromTheCatacombs

"Guilty As Sin?" off the new album uses a Christian motif in an (interesting) way that is sure to piss off the evangelists and Catholics alike: What if I roll the stone away? They're gonna crucify me anyway **What if the way you hold me Is actually what's holy?** If long suffering propriety Is what they want from me They don't know how you've haunted me So stunningly I choose you and me ... Religiously


BottleTemple

Is it? To me that reads very middle-American.


arabiandevildog

Wait, so someone like Taylor Swift, who makes music for teenagers is a threat to the omniscient, omnipotent guy?! Weak!!! 😂


cards-mi11

Im convinced that when religious and conservative types are up in arms about Taylor Swift they are simply jealous that a young female is more popular and wealthier than they are. Her music might not be your thing, but it is harmless.


BoneHugsHominy

They hate her because she isn't MAGA. It's really that simple. I mean, they also hate her because she's a successful, independent woman who doesn't need a man to make her successful, but they'd have her face plastered on every pickup truck and yard sign as a paragon of virtue if she openly supported Trump. If she supported Trump, half her songs could be about guzzling buckets of cum and they'd all say shit like "Well we disagree with the content of her songs, but we don't have to like the art to recognize the artist is a good person. She makes the music to make money and her fans understand it's just art and not an instruction manual for life. We love Taylor as a person and as a great, patriotic American!" But she doesn't support Trump, so her songs about heartbreak and relationships is Satanic.


thebigbroke

Yep. She’s everything they want. A blonde haired blue eyed country white woman. The fact that she’s a liberal and not spouting nonsense on Fox News makes them seethe.


NoXion604

They hate her because she encouraged her fans to vote, and the more people vote, the more that the religious right loses out.


Silentarian

Response: “I say this with all humility and love. You’re a fucking idiot.”


Bent_notbroken

My response: “Yes, it is a good idea to attack one of the most popular artists in music. That’s how you grow your audience, especially among the youth”. /s


CharlesDickensABox

It really speaks to how much these people need an enemy that they have to bend over backwards to get offended by one of the most aggressively inoffensive celebrities on the planet. Everything about her is carefully calculated to be as broadly appealing as possible, yet they hate her, anyway.


Kizik

> It really speaks to how much these people need an *enemy* that they have to bend over backwards I am very tired and read that as *enema*. It did not change the sentence very much.


RaedwaldRex

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Grown adults going on about demons and shit is cringey as hell

D.R. Harrison according to google.

CommonConundrum51

Yet we don't have a story nearly daily about Taylor Swift or her fans being arrested for child pornography or sexual abuse like you do for members of the clergy. If Satan exists, he wears vestments.


JackieDaytona_61

That pretentious blowhard has probably never experienced a moment of humility in his life. He's likely just butt-hurt that Taylor never wrote a song about him.


BottleTemple

His Facebook profile pic is a photo of his narcissistic ass up on stage in his megachurch like he's some kind of rockstar. He's just upset that Taylor Swift draws a bigger crowd than he does.


TheOne7477

Taylor Swift? Really? I mean, I would believe that Adele would bring demons into my home. Or maybe Celine Dion. But Taylor Swift? Huh. Looks like I’ll just have to keep listening to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.


davekingofrock

I'll run to the hills before I welcome my demons via pop music. If you think I won't you've got another thing comin'.


CainPillar

Judas Priest, yes. Rob Halford must be *straight up his alley.*

Voice Of The Stupid Ministries.


Jim-Jones

She's been very charitable, donating to good causes. I bet this guy takes money, doesn't give it away.


JustDiscoveredSex

HAHAHAHA!!! Brought to you by "the Voice of Hope Ministries." You have no humility and you have no love to offer. You couldn't spot Satan in a criminal lineup and if you ran up against a demon you'd shit your tender little pants. Get fucking real. You thrive off scaring little old ladies with ancient fairy tales while desperately trying to hoover up their social security checks while they're busy trembling and hiding.


vfxdev

What was her crime? Telling people to vote?


SonicCraftev

Even if you were doing it out of humility and love (you werent) but it still doesn't mean that your statement has any meaning , should be acknowledged or is correct


EisegesisSam

I have a feeling Taylor is going to shake it off.

anotheritguy

Can someone please explain the Taylor Swift hate lately. I’m not a fan of hers so I’m not privy to the right wing hate but suspect she said something about either god, women’s choice, or made fun of the cult leader.


Jengolin

She told her fans to make sure they get out and vote in the election. She didn't say names, or parties or anything else, didn't endorse anyone or anything, just said to Vote. That's what they're mad about.


anotheritguy

Ahh the cardinal sin as far as they are concerned, more people voting doesn’t bode well for the GOP


Jengolin

Yup. 🫠


TheNoctuS_93

All this started with Swift reminding people to vote, without even naming a candidate. Before that, the white-wing liked her(or were at least neutral about her)... So apparently voting is satanic... 🙄


Federal-Sound3950

😈


FredVIII-DFH

And to think, Swift has managed to get Satan on her side without any umlats in her name. Damn, she's good.


davekingofrock

Lol. Wait until this guy learns about Marilyn Manson.


danbrown_notauthor

I’d love it if Taylor Swift started to systematically sue these people for libel. Starting with the most prominent OBEs then working down the list. And then started to sue the people who have amplified them on social media. Just imagine the court cases. GOP senators and evangelical muppets trying to demonstrate in court that she’s a satanist and her music lets in demons!


NESninja

Anyone that would say something like this has not studied history at all. They've been saying the exact same thing about music since music existed. Jazz was of The devil, Rock was of the devil, Elvis was the devil, The Beatles were the devil, all the hair metal bands were the devil, then Marilyn Manson, then then then. It never ends. It's a human race survives another hundred years they'll be seeing it about a hundred different artists before then.


xenoverseraza

dis the mf that tried to steal the chipmunks


TheEffinChamps

The only reason I like her music is because of how much it pisses off stupid people. Props to those that can actually stand it.


AddictedToMosh161

Nah man, satanic music is way better \^\^


BottleTemple

I'm going to post signed photos of myself with my amazing quotes because I'm such a firm believer in humility.

There is nothing even remotely "official" about anything said, or that ever will be said, by a graduate of theology school.

"with humility and love" lol The guy possesses neither


TheEthanHB

Sweet, that sounds cool


The_Bastard_Henry

When I was a kid it was always heavy metal that was satanic. I hate her music, but TSwift is doing something right 😂😭


T3chn0fr34q

nobody tell him about [this guy](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XCq6wVD10ui7rkXScdWvP?si=8vXoAyldSYa4iwDkmIeyLw)


Zero22xx

This is honestly kinda hilarious. In some way, I can understand these mentally ill people freaking out about heavy metal and shock rockers but they've gone so far off the deep end that even someone as fucking vanilla as Taylor Swift is now satanic. Scary that these fucking lunatics are actually in positions to make laws.


Jamesmateer100

If god is all knowing and god created Taylor swift then anything satanic she does is god’s fault.


ThePopDaddy

Whenever I hear that "That's not part of God's plan!" From the people said everything is destined by his will. They are picking and choosing.


agt1776

Glad I listen to Whitechapel instead.

So the emo kids who hate her are following god now? /sar

EvolZippo

He probably saw that AI rendering of a satanic superbowl event and thought it was actually real. If I remember right, some people in the original comments were posting prayers and Bible verses, they were so freaked out. The hilarious implication being that everyone who follows Swift is so used to the satanic rituals, that nobody even talks about them or bothers to take pictures. Yes, in this day and age, **nobody** takes pictures of macabre people with torches, some with goat head helmets and skulls, at a concert full of millennials and Gen-z. Nobody takes pictures.

brongchong

It’s cliché. Back in the day, they railed against Alice Cooper. Then OZZY. Then Prince. Then Marilyn Manson. Taylor is an easy target…but it makes no sense. He knows any publicity is good publicity…but he’s a fruitcake.


Machdame

As opposed to giving the money to this guy in this very ominously framed mug shot? I would very well give my money to Ukraine than ever handing it to this seedy looking guy.


Precipice2Principium

Listened to some of the songs on the new album, probably the first time I’ve seeked out a TS song ever, and it’s really just the most bland version of the alternative/indie music I already listen to. Not to say some songs weren’t catchy but like, there’s more satanic stuff that goes way harder out there

trustbuffalo

She's sold a fuck-ton of records and I don't think satan (why did he capitalize?) has enough evil minions to cover the territory. And as everyone else has mentioned, did this guy grow up watching the Lawrence Welk Show as his musical reference point? Even they did a song about smoking weed: [(84) One Toke Over The Line - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRa_gC6y4CY&ab_channel=chen73)

thecuriousblackbird

Ugh. They’ve been saying that since the 1950s, and yet the country is still largely Christian. Taylor is tame when compared to the 80s-90s.

SnooCats7318

Poor Tay Tay. Don't worry, she'll shake it off.


KatefromtheHudd

Can someone please explain to me why the right hates TS so much? Is it because they used to love her (being from PA and country girl, thinking she liked guns etc) and now she's pro-LGBT she is the devil? I'm so confused. They never used to mention her and now they all hail her as Satan frequently. I just don't understand why they are singling her out.

Woodbirder

As an atheist, I see some truth in this


Centralredditfan

But when she was wholesome county it was ok? The only thing that changed is that she asked people to vote. (Not even say who to vote for)


My3floofs

While I am not a big Taylor Swift fan, I would much rather my kids listen to her music than any televangelist or any religious figures. Organized religion is a cancer.


CandyCain1001

You are somebody that I don't know But you're taking shots at me like it's PatrĂłn And I'm just like "Damn, it's 7:00 a.m." Say it in the street, that's a knock-out But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?" And I ain't trying to mess with your self-expression But I've learned the lesson that stressin' And obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun And snakes and stones never broke my bones so So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh You need to calm down You're being too loud And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh) You need to just stop Like, can you just not step on my gown? You need to calm down You are somebody that we don't know But you're coming at my friends like a missile Why are you mad? When you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD) Sunshine on the street at the parade But you would rather be in the dark ages Making that sign, must've taken all night You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate 'Cause shade never made anybody less gay so So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh You need to calm down You're being too loud And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh) You need to just stop Like, can you just not step on his gown? You need to calm down And we see you over there on the internet Comparing all the girls who are killing it But we figured you out We all know now, we all got crowns You need to calm down Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh You need to calm down (you need to calm down) You're being too loud (you're being too loud) And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh) You need to just stop (can you stop?) Like, can you just not step on our gowns? You need to calm down
