Taylor Swift-themed church service attracts over 1,000 worshippers

About 1,200 Taylor Swift fans reportedly flocked to a historic church in Germany on Sunday to attend worship services featuring the megastar's music.

The Church of the Holy Spirit in Heidelberg held two Swift-themed services on Sunday entitled, "Anti-Hero — Taylor Swift Church Service," according to a report from the Deutsche Welle. Organizers at the 600-year-old church said they came up with the idea to attract younger visitors and to contemplate the religious messaging in Swift's lyrics.

"The Church of the Holy Spirit has always been a place of encounter and exchange. That's why a pop-music religious service fits so perfectly," Pastor Christof Ellsiepen said in the report. "With it, we are giving space to the questions and issues that occupy the younger generation."

"Theologically speaking, she points to the justness of God," Pastor Petracca said. "For her, faith and action are inseparable."

The services were well attended with about 1,200 people showing up. The audience skewed younger and more female than typical, the report said.

While the church only initially planned to hold one Swift-themed service, all 423 seats were quickly reserved, so they decided to run a second service as well.

In front, a band led worship with six Swift songs. A rainbow banner behind them on stage let visitors know the church welcomed "all sizes, all [colors], all cultures, all sexes, all beliefs, all religions, all ages, all types, all people."

Oh for Heaven's sake, she's a Satanist and has an obsession with the #13 and I wouldn't be surprised if she's trying to indoctrinate them into voting in November for you know who because she's such a shill.. 🙄

Ugh......😱

You've got to admit, the whole idea of this is more than a little.....disturbing🤬

And that's coming from someone who is not "religious" (in the traditional sense) & is pretty much agnostic!

reply

It probably has nothing on k-pop idol worship.

Although it is cringe, all the same.

reply

This is cringe as hell.

But how is she a satanist? Are you a victorian prude?

reply

Probably not a satanist but she sides with the devil in supporting the rainbow mafia. Gay acts are repeatedly condemned in the bible.

reply

Who gives a fuck?

reply

Practicing Christians do.

reply

Good for them. Germany just isn't that christian anymore. Much of the USA isn't either now.

reply

Yeah great for them that they choose evil over good.

What do you think of this?

reply

it says video unavailable. Are you trying to show me some gay people dancing naked or something?

reply

It's from the official ESC account. I really doubt it's blocked or inaccessible to you.

reply

It says video unavailable.



"Witchcraft has had a major influence on Robinson's music; numerous spells and hexes are included in various songs"


No thanks.

reply

‘The uploader has not made this video available in your country’ is all I get here. What was it anyway?

reply

Weird. ESC geoblocking USA (I assume you're from the USA).

It's a pagan themed music entry in this years Eurovision.

reply

Aha! Yeah, we don’t get any of that here. It seems like an American Idol type competition which I suppose Europe doesn’t get🤓

reply

Not quite. I mean each European country has their own 'Idol' shows. Eurovision is just countries competing with each other every year and voting for each others entries. It's usually trashy europop, but you get the occasional rock, metal act.

reply

Not my thing but I’m
sure it’s very popular.

reply

So they're worshipping swift? They sure aren't there to worship Christ.

reply

I wouldn't be surprised if she's trying to indoctrinate them into voting in November for you know who because she's such a shill


Um... they're in Germany, mate. They don't have a vote in the US presidential elections. I wouldn't worry yourself over it.

reply

Unless they had dual nationality (obvious Andy).

reply

social media has f00ked society

reply

Gross, it makes these people look like cult followers.

reply

Apparently, the next service will feature Cardi B’s WAP.

The lyric, ‘Whores in this house’ will be used to discuss Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdelene.

Quite what they’ll make of ‘Yeah, you fucking with some wet ass pussy. Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass pussy. Give me everything you got for this wet ass pussy.’ is anyone’s guess.
