Former Boyzone star Shane Lynch recently accused pop star Taylor Swift of engaging in satanic rituals and demonic practices during her sold-out shows and warned of the damaging effects such music has on children. He recently told Ireland’s Sunday World<\/em>, “I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are satanic rituals in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing.”<\/p>\n

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.”\u00a0The 47-year-old Irish singer said there’s a “lot of hidden satanic” messaging in music today, yet most listeners are oblivious to it.<\/p>\n

Lynch said, “When it comes to a lot of the music that’s out there at the moment \u2014 more of the hip-hop side of things \u2014 there is a lot of hidden satanic and a lot of evil within them, including down to the beats. It’s very real. Music attaches to your emotions. It has a connection to your spirit and how you feel. That’s why I’ve stopped listening to those types of music myself because it doesn’t suit my spirit.” Lynch, a father of two and a professing Christian, warned that certain music is damaging to society in general and especially children.\u00a0He said, “It 100 percent has an effect on society. I think our society has never been worse in many areas, and it starts from our children.”<\/p>\n
