Does Taylor Swift Promote New Age Teachings?

Former psychic turned Christian Jenn Nizza explained how demons work their way into people’s lives, especially through pop culture and social media.

Slowly but surely occultism has worked its way into TV shows and movies and has become acceptable to talk about on social media to the point that America has become comfortable with it. Nizza warns that this is the work of the devil, as its popularity has now made it easier than ever for him to pull people away from God. She used Taylor Swift as an example of this happening.

“Taylor Swift presents as this Christian-looking, innocent girl years ago, and then you see the darkness boldly, blatantly when people are already Swifties; they’re already hooked,” Nizza told the “Relatable” podcast. “I’m thinking of how this is mapped out; this is planned out. This is not a surprise; this is strategic, I believe, on behalf of the enemy to rope people in, and then it’s like, now I’m gonna hit you with my agendas because you’re already a cult follower [of Swift]. Her music boldy proclaims new age ideologies and concepts.”

In the music video for her song “Willow,” which she released in April 2023, for example, Swift goes through a witchcraft ceremony — which has no relation to the words in the song. This theme carried over into her Eras Tour where she would don ritualistic garb when performing this song.

More recently, Swift shared her complete disdain for Christianity, as she made her hatred for the religion known through her song “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),” which was released this past April as a part of “The Tortured Poets Department” album. Through mocking references to Christianity, she revealed she finds the Bible’s morals oppressive, particularly focusing on the freedom she found when pursuing her own sexual ethic.

Because of the mainstream attraction found in Swift and other pop culture icons, Nizza worries about the impact the devil can have on the younger generation.

“My concern especially is for the children because [Satan] is targeting the children via crystals, manifesting, Instagram, TikTok,” she said. “WitchTok is huge. Meditating in schools, the smudging in schools — sage burning — believing you could clean out your mind.”

“And that’s all seen as neutral. It’s all seen as, like, helping a child build their social-emotional learning capacity, helping them build their empathy,” added “Relatable” host Allie Beth Stuckey.

Rather than be brought down by the evil around them, Nizza believes Christians need to keep their eyes focused on Christ and cling to the promises from the Bible about how He protects His followers from the spiritual war being waged around us.

“In Christ, we have all that we need,” Nizza said. “We have heaven that awaits us, and the Lord encourages us to keep our eyes on things above and to remember that our citizenship is not here; all of this is going to pass away but our citizenship is in heaven… our home is in heaven.”

Movieguide® previously reported on the alarming acceptance of the occult in today’s society:

While writing for the first season of THE ORIGINALS, Carina MacKenzie wrote real spells into the show and didn’t care when actual witches called to warn her that she was cursing viewers.

“In season one [of THE ORIGINALS] when I was the writer’s assistant, I wrote the chants and I would go online and, like, look up spells, cause like, why not?” MacKenzie said. “And I’d like change a couple words — I’d like, figure out a spell and I’d go and change a couple of words to French, a couple words to Creole, a couple words to Haitian Creole…and then I’d like throw some Latin in. And I was just making some spells.”

“And then we got a call from a woman in New Orleans who was like, ‘I think you are playing with fire,’ you know,” she continued with a giggle. “‘What are you trying to do? You’re putting spells in everybody’s living room all across America.’ Like, we were cursing everybody who watched the show. And I started making s*** up a little weirder.”

MacKenzie’s laissez-faire attitude towards her reckless writing highlights the growing comfort with occultism in America. In recent years, the popularity of witchcraft and other occultist practices has grown at astounding rates as the basics are shared across social media.
