Newsmax Host Greg Kelly on Taylor Swift: “They’re elevating her to an idol. Idolatry. This is a little bit of what idolatry, I think, looks like. And you’re not supposed to do that. In fact, if you look it up in the Bible, it’s a sin!”

Newsmax host Greg Kelly said Monday that the passion of Taylor Swift’s fans constitutes idolatry and is, therefore, a sin. (Watch the video below.)

Kelly went off in a segment on the singer-songwriter following her well-chronicled attendance at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl-clinching victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Swift’s boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, had a huge game, and they celebrated with a big kiss. But Kelly was more interested in attacking Swift’s fans in a hot take of warped theology.

“They are totally over the top worshipping this woman,” he said. “Have you seen any of the pictures of her in concert? I wouldn’t go myself. I don’t do that kind of thing anymore. But I think what they call it is, they’re elevating her to an idol. Idolatry. This is a little bit what idolatry, I think, looks like. And you’re not supposed to do that. In fact, if you look it up in the Bible, it’s a sin! So, I don’t like that.”

“She is going to use all of this popularity, potentially, against MAGA and for Democrats,” Kelly said. “She’s got a record of this stuff, a track record.” He showed an image of Swift endorsing Biden in 2020 to make his point.
