Unveiling the Spiritual Undertones in Taylor Swift's Concerts and Music

Stephen Tilmon

Are Taylor Swift's concerts more than just a musical spectacle? Could there be a hidden spiritual depth and potentially controversial undertones to her popular performances? This episode peels back the layers of Taylor Swift's concerts, her music, and the spiritual implications they may hold. Central to our discussion is the phenomenon of concertgoers experiencing time loss, Swift's views on love and marriage as expressed in her songs, and the controversial claims of her using spells to attract love. 

Strap in as we dissect the spiritual influence of Swift's songs, particularly focusing on hits like 'Karma' and 'Willow'. We question whether the lyrics and visuals of her music propagate pagan beliefs and expose listeners to darker spiritual forces. We don't shy away from the intense debate around artists, like Swift, potentially being on the "devil's payroll," and the importance of vigilance in guarding our spirit, home, mind, ears, and eyes from such influences. This intriguing exploration is an eye-opener, stirring us to question the spiritual impact of popular culture on our lives.

There's been people leaving her concerts that says that they are missing time from when they were there Now. To me that sounds Faith and Failure's podcast.

Speaker 1:

Taylor Swift. Now, if you've been following her which Swift and Gears a little bit which change in genres Taylor Swift has been following her at all you know that she's had some questionable things pop up, that she is like been a big name for a while, but it seems to be more prominent here recently. You know you're a Swifty, don't you blaspheme on my channel like that? No, I'm not. I'm not a nifty Swifty, I am not at all. But there's been some questionable things surrounding what she has been doing lately. We're gonna look at a couple of clips. That is Taylor Swift and Neable. Hold on, I gotta put that one on the channel so everybody, wherever they're watching, can see that. Look at his comment Taylor Swift Neapolitan dynamite in drag. Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha. That may be the best Taylor Swift definition I've ever heard in my life. That made my Memorial Day great.

So we're gonna watch this other video.

Speaker 1:

And there's been controversy on Taylor Swift surrounding, like there has been people leaving her concerts. That says that they are missing time from when they were there. Now to me that sounds a little bit suspect. How are you gonna go to a concert and you're missing chunks of time? And this is not like one person. This is a plethora of people, a herd of people that is at her concert that they don't know what happened. So we're gonna watch. It's actually from the same channel. I highly recommend this guy's channel. I just realized that I'm not even subscribed to it. Let me subscribe to this channel, this guy, but Vlad. I cannot pronounce that last name, so I'm gonna let you look at it and you just pronounce it because it may. If I try to pronounce it, it may sound like I'm trying to say a curse word, so so let's watch this Now. I'm good.

Speaker 2:

Harris, her former boyfriend. Now, something that we must understand is that it is actually very common practice, especially in pagan cultures and America's becoming more pagan to cast spells for people to find love. So if you want to find love, you would go and they would cast.

Speaker 1:

That's a very good point. Dave look at his comment Says all things are spiritual in nature. To pass it off as not is to give ground to the enemy. That is 100% true and I think that's why a lot of times we end up losing ground. We end up losing battles because we think it's something of the flesh, when actually we are in spiritual warfare and we end up trying to fight spiritual battles with fleshly weapons and we wonder why we keep losing ground, we keep losing battle. It's because we're not prepared properly by the spirit, through the spirit and guarded by the spirit.

Speaker 1:

This is real y'all. This is not something to play with. This is real stuff.

Speaker 1:

And the thing is we will hear stuff like this Listen to me. We will hear stuff like this. We will hear facts. We will hear facts and we will discard it as someone being oh, just, it's the boogeyman, you know they're just being all hyper spiritual, but it's facts, it's actual, real things that are happening right now. And we forget that this is not a game and you are living a life, but if you belong to Christ, it's not a life that belongs to you anymore. And you begin to and I always pray to God. I say God, the things in front of me that are trying to attack, trying to trip me, trying to lure me, trying to set traps, set snares, trying to get strongholds in my mind, in my life, in my heart, in my soul, in my family. Let me see it in the spiritual realm so that I can know how to fight, because that right there, if you know how to fight, if you know what you're fighting, then you know what weapons to use and you can step up to it. Let's go on.

Speaker 2:

Spells, anu. These spells are extremely dangerous. First of all, the whole idea is demonic. But those spells, they have that expiration date and they usually backfire. I have met people we prayed for, people delivered people from demons that got those demons through those spells. When those spells stop working, those people that came together because of that spell they live like cats and dogs. They hate each other and a lot of times when they break up or something happens with that, it's just devastating on that relationship.

Speaker 2:

Now her idea on marriage is that Taylor Swift is tired of people talking to her about marriage. In her first song off of her latest album, midnight, she sings that all they keep asking me is if I'm going to be your bride. The only kind of girl they see is a one night or a wife. Her song, levender Hayes, finds her complaining about the 1950s stuff, blanking and blanking. They want from me. This doesn't seem to be me in the traditional version of a wife. She just simply complains about marriage, as we know that she's been having struggles with relationships and there is this aversion toward marriage. And why am I mentioning these things and pulling her life maybe to just smaller little pieces for us to see?

Speaker 2:

Because if you are under influence of her music you must understand is that it will begin to go into your subconscious and your views on marriage will begin to modify and begin to change to her views and lifestyle. When somebody speaks, when somebody sings, when somebody writes, there is a form of impartation that takes place to the listener and to the reader. If you're listening, reading, to someone who carries love for Jesus, you will begin to feel the warmth of that and these desires will begin to be rekindled in you. If you listen, if you watch the things that have lust, that have spells, that have witchcraft, your mind will slowly get desensitized, because you're looking at these people like man. They're normal, they're good, they're famous and if they like this stuff, it must not be that bad.

Speaker 1:

And so this I tell my people this all the time and almost every single message, because it's so important to understand and to realize that what you allow to come into you, what you ingest when life squeezes you, is what will come out of you, whatever that is.

Speaker 1:

If you have a bunch of bad nonsense, controversial, bitterness, anger, lust, when things get tough, it's the things that will come out of you. But if you're pouring in the Word of God, if you're pouring in the Spirit of God, if you're worshiping in spirit and in truth, you're opening yourself up to be poured into. But to be able to be an empty vessel is so crucial to being spiritually, mentally, physically healthy is to be empty of all junk so that purity, love, real love, clarity can be poured into you. That can only and true joy, not happiness, happiness. You can try to buy things and cover up wounds and fill the empty voice, but if you have true joy, that comes only from the father, it cannot be bought. And then, when things get bad, you still have joy coming out of you because it's been pouring into you.

Speaker 2:

Then slowly, once the enemy desensitizes you it's like that cooking of that frog. Then, after a while, you become a person that goes on the lure, it goes on the hook of the enemy. Now, something I mentioned in the beginning her post concert amnesia. There are scientific explanations to why people don't remember a swift concert, but it could also be that they have been temporarily possessed. It could also have been that they are temporarily influenced by Satan Exactly the situation for every single person who doesn't remember her concert. I can speak of that, but I do know that if you keep showing up to places where witchcraft is glorified, what spells are being singed and praised about, where heartbreak and all of this stuff is constantly being celebrated, it is no surprise that we can give place to the enemy in our life. She has a belief in karma.

Speaker 2:

Taylor Swift has long been a firm believer in karma. Her acknowledgement of karma goes back to that video of 73 questions with Taylor Swift in 2016 where she states karma is real. In her latest hit, she exposes the dynamics of that concept even further over the course of three minutes and 30 seconds. The selected lyrics to her song Karma, goes Something Like this because karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god. Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend. Karma's a relaxing thought. Aren't you envious that? For you it's not. Now it has a rhyme to it, but the theology behind it is wrong. So there's two main things that I want to highlight concerning this number one, and that is spells are not okay. If you watch her Willow video and just the idea that is becoming more and more culturally relevant and that is with witchcraft with me, Okay, so here it is.

Speaker 1:

This is the Willow Taylor Swift video that he was referencing. All of a sudden, it was like playing and they were in light clothes and they were like whatever kind of happy go lucky and then all of a sudden, everything just like that switched and it went dark and now they're in robes. It's some sort of like vampire witchcraft movie or something. I don't know if I'm gonna get flagged for this on YouTube I hope it didn't kick me off but there it is first hand. You saw it witchcraft in them and it's literally about putting a spell on somebody and doing all this other jump.

Speaker 2:

Mediums, with spiritists, with divination and with sorcery Guys. As a person who believes in the bible and as a person who believes in casting out evil spirits, I see this more and more, and the people that are being today on, I would say, the devil's payroll to help propagate and spread paganism in our culture are artists.

Speaker 1:

Yep, 100%. They are on the front lines of the devil's work. And this is what this is where the problem is really taking root. Because Christians now, if you don't know God, that's fine. But those of you that claim that you do ask yourself are you allowing something to infiltrate your spirit, your home, your mind, your ears, your eyes? And then you go to justify it because you grew up with it or it's culturally acceptable? But we are called to be going against the culture, to infiltrate the culture, not the culture infiltrating the body of believers. It's the other way around. We are called to shine a light into the darkness, to shine a light in dark places, not allow the darkness to creep in and smolder out the light, to seclude us to where we can't do anything.
