It may be spooky season, but Lana Del Rey isn’t about to let internet haters call her a witch.
The “Young and Beautiful” songstress recently fired back at one of her critics online who accused her of “practicing witchcraft” and conjuring evil spirits during her live shows.
The now-viral video, shared by Christian social media influencer Traci Coston, featured a clip from one of Del Rey’s concerts, during which Coston alleged that the singer summoned “demonic energy” to knock over people in the crowd.
“This stuff is so real,” Coston claimed in her video, alleging that Del Rey is posing a risk to concertgoers at her shows by “inviting” demons into the crowd.
“Whatever witchcraft Lana Del Rey is doing, whatever spells she’s putting on her music to make it attractive, those demons are being invited into the crowd and into you when you attend,” she stated, further warning, “These demons will destroy your life.”
“There’s a reason the Bible tells us to stay away from witchcraft,” Coston added, urging her followers to “please stop going to this stuff.”
But the Grammy-nominated artist wasn’t having any of that hocus pocus and took to the comment section to clap back at Coston.
Though the comments on the post have since been turned off, Stereogum snapped a screenshot of Del Rey’s reply, which read, “B!tch I know the Bible verse for verse better than you do.”
“PS you’re giving off super gremlin energy,” she added. “Not in a good way.”
But the “Summertime Sadness” singer has actually been intertwined with the occult in the past, as she previously claimed that she performed witchcraft against Donald Trump, writing in 2017 that she was trying to remove him from office.
“Yeah, I did it,” she later told NME about trying to put a hex on the former president. “Why not? Look, I do a lot of shit,” she quipped at the time.
Still, we’re not exactly sure where Del Rey stands on witchcraft, as she has also been vocal about her religious upbringing and Christian faith, especially throughout her music.
Her latest studio album, Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, even includes an interlude featuring pastor Judah Smith.
