A former Boyzone star has accused pop sensation Taylor Swift of performing “Satanic rituals” in her concerts.
Swift will soon be in the UK for her current global tour, Eras, with the 34-year-old scheduled to be heading to London in June this year.
However, the star has bizarrely been accused of performing “Satanic rituals” during her songs by former boyband star, Shane Lynch.
The well-known Boyzone member made the bizarre claims about the pop star, who has just performed seven shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
Lynch, 47, claimed Swift and other singers perform “demonic rituals” to their audiences, whom he argued are unaware of what they are witnessing.
The born-again Christian said: “I think when you're looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are Satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realising and recognising.”

Speaking to Ireland’s Sun World newspaper, Lynch talked about Swift’s costume during the Evermore segment of her show.
The outfit consists of a cape while backing dancers hold lanterns, and referencing this, the singer, who found fame during the 1990s, explained: “You'll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies.”
He went on to tell the publication: “Even down to Taylor Swift - one of the biggest artists in the world - you watch one of her shows and she has two or three different demonic rituals to do with the pentagrams on the ground, to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage.
“But to a lot of people it's just art and that's how people are seeing it, unfortunately.”

Lynch went on to reveal he had stopped listening to certain music genres, such as hip-hop and grime, due to “hidden Satanic” messages.
It isn’t the first conspiracy theory the star seems to have sparked, with Swift’s recent appearance at the Super Bowl seeming to result in other rumours.
The huge singer brought a whole new audience to the NFL through her budding relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
During the game, San Francisco 49ers fans were left fearing the worst before the Super Bowl got underway after spotting Swift and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in conversation in the stands.

Some fans went on to fume the game would be "rigged" due to the conversation between Goodell and Swift.
Speaking ahead of the big day about the conspiracy theory that Swift's presence was all part of the NFL's secret script for the season, Goodell addressed the rumours.
“I don’t think I’m that good a scripter or anybody on our staff,” he said.
