Is Taylor Swift a Christian singer?

A look at her religion

Her music is often about angsty teenage life, and she’s been received as vaguely Christian, if not Evangelical herself. But is Taylor Swift even a Christian?

It’s a matter hotly debated among her fans. Taking her to be a Christian like them, Evangelical are lately getting testy. There’s calls she be declared not a Christian at all, and some people want her executed.

That’s how it goes here in Jesusland.

Taylor Swift as Jesus meme (X)

Being “Christian” in America often means little more than getting married and having kids.

Mostly it’s just an aggressive commitment to being “normal.” Into her 20s, Taylor Swift had seemed to fit the bill. But as she delayed marriage and was seen with many men, religious anxieties gathered.

When she was chosen for Time magazine’s “person of the year,” a Christian guy on X lobbed a now-famous read:

“It’s shameful and sad that a hyper-promiscuous, childless woman (Taylor Swift), aging and alone with a cat, has become the heroine of a feminist age.”
