Were some eerie Taylor Swift lyrics connected to a murder?
Catherine Griffith of Florida, 39, was brutally stabbed by her 17-year-old son. According to Fox News, Griffith died from the wounds. What’s extra eerie about this case are the chosen lyrics from a Taylor Swift song that Griffith posted online soon before her son “stabbed his mother in the neck so hard that the knife went all the way through,” as Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd stated.

The son also has a history of violence with when claimed that “On Feb. 14, 2023…[he] said his dad pulled a knife on him, and he shot and killed his dad,” according to Judd. The 17-year-old claimed that shooting his father once in the chest and once in the head was “self-defense.”
The story becomes even stranger with the connection of the song lyrics Griffith posted before her death. She posted the lyrics from the Taylor Swift song, “It’s Time to Go.”
“You know when it’s time to go…Sometimes givin’ up is the strong thing,” Griffith posted.
The song’s lyrics are filled with resentment about different life situations. From not receiving a desired promotion, to disputes within relationships, “It’s Time to Go” is riddled with discussion about knowing when “it’s time to go.”
The chorus reads: “That old familiar body ache / The snaps from the same little breaks in my soul / I know when it’s time to go.”
“Sometimes, givin’ up is the strong thing / Sometimes to run is the brave thing / Sometimes walkin’ out is the one thing / That will find you the right thing,” the song continues.
Swift’s image and music has skyrocketed in fame over the last few years, and with that fame has also come an increase in demonic influence in her music videos, lyrics, clothing and concert performances.

Whatever kind of demonic influences were behind the actions of Griffith’s son to murder both of his parents, this situation makes it clear that there is darkness in this world, and our battle is not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities.
