Beyhive vs. Swifties: Beyoncé Fans Drag 'Christians' For Ignoring Taylor Swift 'Devil' Visuals
Taylor Swift's "demonic" visuals at her "Eras Tour" shows in Paris, France, have drawn the attention of Beyoncé fans.
Variety recently shared on X, formerly Twitter, a video showing new visuals at Swift's four-night presentation at the Paris La Défense Arena.
The spooky black-and-white clip, which was shown on a large screen at her shows, depicted Swift with black lips and blotted-out eyes surrounded by a ring of gray.
The video, however, had fans of Beyoncé calling out the members of the Christian community who previously called for a boycott of the 42-year-old superstar's concerts over conspiracy theories.
The Beyhive suggested that these critics were now silent when the subject became Swift.
"Where's the Christians talking about the devil [and] Illuminati like they do on Beyoncé[?]" one fan wrote on X.
"So is she in the Illuminati like y'all like to say about Beyoncé when she breathes?? I mean this looks pretty demonic to me," another person claimed of Swift's visuals.
Another dragged the critics, writing: "If Beyoncé put up a visual like this during the Renaissance tour, they would've said she was a devil worshipper, Illuminati, and ran wild with conspiracy theories, mere SECONDS after it hit the screen."
"White people will call Beyoncé the devil then praise this," a fourth user alleged, while another suggested, "If it was Bey or Abel (The Weeknd)... the hatred would be at the max."
Another person claimed that the criticism was "only reserved for Black people."
But some Swifties fired back, saying the 34-year-old singer received her fair share of criticism and accusations from the religious community.
"Oh they've been accusing her of witchcraft for years get with the times," one fan claimed.
"There's literally an entire social media movement amongst Christians calling her music demonic and anti-Christian. I promise not everything has to be a comparison between Beyoncé and Taylor. They're both legends at the top of their field and are also both heavily criticized," another X user wrote.
Another claimed, "Go on any Christian Facebook group, they hate them both [singers]."
One Swiftie explained that the "Eras Tour" visuals were related to Swift's "Reputation" album because its "theme was like rising from [the] dead."
Last year, a woman who called herself a "prophet" dubbed Beyoncé a "witch" all Christians should denounce.
In a video shared on TikTok, Tiphani Montgomery, who founded the Covered By God ministry, rebuked those who were attending Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour, adding: "How dare you call yourself a Christian?"
Back in 2022, Bishop Patrick Wooten allegedly described Beyoncé's song "Church Girl" off her "Renaissance" album as "sacrilege" and "trash" during a sermon, Radar reported.
"The only thing I can account for some of this stuff is somebody done sold their soul to the devil," he claimed, according to the outlet.
Wooten reportedly added, "All I can say to you is this, when you sell your soul to the devil, you get the short end of the stick because you're not going to live but so long and when you leave here, where you're going, you're going to be there forever. It's not a good deal."
Swift has faced similar accusations over the years.
Earlier this year, former Boyzone band member Shane Lynch, who is born-again Christian, claimed to Sunday World that Swift allegedly inserted evil messages in her music and performed Satanic rituals during her concerts.
"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," Lynch alleged. "But to a lot of people it's just art and that's how people are seeing it, unfortunately."
