Offsite Post: ‘St Brigid vs Taylor Swift: Examining What Is Truly Beautiful for Our Daughters’

 

The Taylor Swift phenomenon appears to be another sign of the de-Christianization and re-paganization going in the United States.  Statues, graves, street names, holidays, etc., of Christian soldiers, statesmen, missionaries, and others are destroyed, but things in honor of Miss Swift are increasing:


So far on her sold-out Eras stadium tour, Swift has not responded to any of the host cities’ symbolic offers — Tampa declared her “honorary mayor” and gave her the key to the city; Glendale, Ariz., temporarily renamed itself Swift City; Arlington, Texas, named a street Taylor Swift Way; and Las Vegas lit up its 80-feet-tall Gateway Arches in colors representing all of her albums.

And what kind of a person are these cities honoring?  An open Leftist:


Now — this is a Decline-of-the-West tragedy at hand — see what she released nearly a decade later, when she came into political consciousness in the Trump era. This is 2019’s You Need to Calm Down, which is on the surface level a love letter her gay / trans fan base, but on a deeper level a hate letter to her traditionalist fan base of mostly Christian girls from the 2000s. Just watch and you’ll see, it’s loathsome and revelatory.

 

As it happens, Swift the next year released a documentary about herself, Miss Americana, for the specific purpose of showcasing her arrival at progressive-left political consciousness. 

Worse, an open Leftist who is trying to redefine Christianity:


The singer-songwriter's beliefs appear to differ from the more traditional Christian values. Mainly, this includes Taylor's support of the LGBTQ+ community as well as support for abortion access.

 

Taylor told Variety in 2020 about breaking away from her previous apolitical public persona: "This was a situation where, from a humanity perspective and from what my moral compass was telling me I needed to do, I knew I was right, and I really didn't care about repercussions."

 

In a 2019 interview with The Guardian where she discussed her disdain for President Trump and the current atmosphere of U.S. politics, Taylor noted that she supports abortion rights and wants to bolster political candidates who will expand access to it.

 

"Obviously, I'm pro-choice," she said at the time, as Tennessee was gearing up to vote on an abortion ban. "I can't believe we're here. It's really shocking and awful. And I just wanna do everything I can for 2020. I wanna figure out exactly how I can help."

 

If one thing is clear from all of this, it's that Taylor has established her own relationship with faith. Although her beliefs deviate from some of Christianity's traditional values, she stands firm in her faith and the causes she supports.

Now, whatever the Taylor Swift phenomenon is – whether feminist subversion/goddess worship, an intelligence agency culture creation psychological operation, or a mass mental illness, it is quite distinct from the Christian inheritance of western Europe’s past.  In traditional Western Christian culture, the women who were most exalted were women like St Brigid of Kildare, Ireland:


The most venerated Irish woman saint, St. Brigid (Bridget, Bride) lived in the second half of the fifth century and the early sixth century. She was most probably born between 450 and 454 and reposed between c. 523 and 527. Her name means “light-bearer” (other possible translations: “power”, virtue”, “exalted one”). In truth the saint by the light of her virtuous life justified her name. She is often nicknamed “Mary of Ireland”1 and “the pillar of Ireland” and is venerated on a par with Sts. Patrick and Columba. . . .

Her Christianity is the opposite of the ‘progressive’ version of Miss Swift:
