They made Jesus wear Taylor Swift merch

Okay, no. Calling the bs right now.

First, that’s not merch. That’s one of her most famous costumes from the You Belong with Me music video. Just to get that out of the way, it’s not available for sale anywhere.

Second the city projected it on the christo redentor while she’s performing live there. For fun. Similar to how the mayor of Glendale named the city Swift City for the day or Vegas lit up the arches as her albums.

The video is obviously made by someone who just wants to stir up shit and controversy when there is none. You want to be mad at Taylor? Choose a legit reason, but don’t try to just make controversy up.

For fun

lmfao, no.
For profit.

Did the city charge for access to it? Did Taylor profit on it? Who profited from it?? Taylor already sold all of her tickets, the shows were happening, the money was already made.

He said projections on the statue are a symbol of respect in his country. In 2019, the Christ the RedeemerCatholic Church projected a fútbol uniform of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo after the men’s team won the Copa Libertadores de América.

Mayor of Rio: “…Ready for it?” “Swifties cariocas… are you ready for it?” The mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, posted on X Thursday morning confirming that there will be a projection honoring Taylor Swift on the Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue.

Putting a UFC belt or the Taylor Swift shirt on to Jesus Christ is sacrilegious

Literally the people who live there disagree with you. To them it shows reverence, and a pastor is the one who had the idea.

Father Omar, the rector of the Christ the Redeemer Sanctuary who oversees the projection at the statue, turned the Taylor Swift request into an act of charity.

Yeah, I’m gonna go with the literal pastor and overseer of the statue to determine if it’s sacrilegious. I’d suggest you look internally to figure out why you think it is when church leaders don’t even think it is.
