Taylor Swift Is A Witch, Right?

A viral TikTok video from early 2023 claimed to show Taylor Swift practicing witchcraft onstage during her “Eras” concert tour. Critics have claimed that Swift’s Eras Tour performance of the song “Willow” promotes witchcraft, but there is no evidence that Swift’s performances intentionally feature satanic rituals. Taylor Swift’s new album fuels speculation about her interest in the craft, and it is unclear if Swift’s recent references to witchcraft are simply part of the “cottagecore”. Social media users have their pitchforks and proof, as Taylor Swift lyrics famously say, and they are hunting for Satan worshippers. The current target is Swift herself.

The posts on social media of Swift flashing a satanic hand signal or promoting witchcraft repeatedly trend, but in part that’s only because the evidence is cherry-picked. Reehil explains how the “Willow” performance mimics witchcraft with its use of Earth, fire, black capes, and orbs. Reehil says those who practice witchcraft “harness energy or they try to harness”.

Taylor Swift has been accused of being a witch in the past, even referenced this in a 2017 song, “I Did Something Bad”, in which she sings, “They’re”. However, even if Taylor genuinely doesn’t believe she’s a witch, she is glorifying witchcraft and influencing audience members. Swift has been fending off sorcery and witchcraft rumors for the past several weeks as she travels the world on her sixth concert tour.
