Actor and outspoken Christian Kirk Cameron is sounding the alarm over Taylor Swift’s growing cultural influence, warning that the pop superstar’s music is more than catchy entertainment—it’s spiritual messaging.

In a recent Instagram post, the 54-year-old father of six said Swift’s latest songs and imagery amount to “discipleship” for young people. Known for his role in Growing Pains and his work in faith-based films and projects, Cameron did not mince words.

“What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? You get the most powerful sermon that America’s youth will hear this year,” Cameron said.

He continued:

“She mocks God in her lyrics. She normalizes sin, she glorifies lust and rebellion as if this was womanly empowerment. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship.”

Cameron also expressed concern about Swift’s sway over teenagers, many of whom look to her as a role model.

“She doesn’t have any kids of her own, but raising kids is hard,” Cameron wrote. “Why get into all that when she can just disciple your kids and train them up in the way that she would like for them to go?”

His comments came shortly after Swift announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, a post that quickly went viral with more than 30 million likes.

Cameron wasn’t the only one raising concerns. Jenn Nizza, a former psychic who now hosts the Ex-Psychic Saved podcast, shared her own perspective. She cautioned parents about Swift’s promotion of New Age practices, specifically pointing to her fascination with numerology.

“Taylor Swift is promoting a New Age practice that you may not have been aware of,” Nizza said in a video. “You are believing that numbers are going to give you hidden knowledge … for wisdom and possible communication, even with spirits.”

Nizza referenced Swift’s well-known attachment to the number 13, which the singer has called her “lucky number” since childhood. Swift has often tied key events in her career and personal life to numerological patterns, including her relationship with Kelce.

But Nizza warned:

“Everyday divination is demonic. It leads to demonic oppression. She is polluting the minds of the masses with divination practices. This is the agenda of Satan and his minions who are influencing her.”

This isn’t the first time Christian leaders have spoken out about Swift. In 2024, her album The Tortured Poets Department drew fire for lyrics that many deemed sacrilegious. In the track Guilty As Sin, Swift sings: “What if I roll the stone away?/ They’re gonna crucify me anyway/ What if the way you hold me is actually what’s holy?”

Former Boyzone star Shane Lynch also accused the pop icon of engaging in demonic practices during her live shows. “Music attaches to your emotions,” Lynch warned. “It has a connection to your spirit and how you feel. That’s why I’ve stopped listening to those types of music myself.”

Shane Pruitt, National Next Gen Director for the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board, urged Christian parents to examine what their children are consuming.

“I’m definitely not the minister or parent that has the ‘no secular music’ stance,” Pruitt wrote. “However, there is a difference between being secular and being anti-Christian.”

Pruitt said he once enjoyed Swift’s music but feels it may now be time to reconsider.

“As Christians, who are filled with the Spirit, should we be entertained by, sing with, and expose our kids to lyrics that aren’t just different than what you believe, but are actually mocking what you believe?”

For Cameron, Nizza, and others, the concern is not simply about a single pop star but about the broader influence of entertainment on today’s youth. Music, they warn, is never just background noise—it can shape beliefs, values, and spiritual direction.

As Swift’s cultural dominance continues, Christian parents and leaders are being challenged to think carefully about what voices they allow to shape the next generation.
