A pastor who once preached the 2020 election was stolen has taken aim at Taylor Swift – suggesting there is a conspiracy at work between pharma giant Pfizer and the pop star, who he accused of performing ‘satanic rituals and witchcraft’ on-stage.
The comments came in a since-deleted sermon from Nebraska’s Hank Kunneman, 57, who also questioned the songstress’s relationship with NFL tight end Travis Kelce – citing the athlete’s recent support for Pfizer’s COVID jab.
Kunneman, a senior pastor at the Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, posted the spiel in his Sunday sermon on November 6, and within hours, it was gone.
Even during that timeframe, the post drew more eyes than usual – considering Kunneman’s 10,000-strong subscriber count on X – when it was reshared by a prominent progressive advocacy group and amassed tens of thousands of views.
A self-touted ‘prophet’ who this summer accused Georgia election officials of ‘working for the devil’, Kunneman has yet to offer insight as to why the sermon was deleted, but his comments can still be seen in several saved videos of the snippet.

Nebraska’s Hank Kunneman – a pastor who previously preached the 2020 election was stolen – took aim at Taylor suggesting there is a conspiracy at work between pharma giant Pfizer and the pop star, who he accused of performing ‘satanic rituals and witchcraft’ on-stage.
Before deleting the now widely seen speech, the 57-year-old also questioned the songstress’s relationship with Travis Kelce – citing the athlete’s recent support for Pfizer’s COVID jab
One such clip, shared from Right Wing Watch’s resident YouTube account, captured the excerpt in question.
‘Have you ever noticed how everything on TV is supported by Pfizer?’ Kunneman first ask the crowd gathered at Lord of Hosts, who appear to agree with assertion.
‘Okay? That’s a contrary wind,’ he then adds, using a biblical phrase that describes occurrences that stops worshippers from receiving miracles.
Visibly incensed by the audience’s reaction, the conservative clergyman continues: ‘What’s up with that what?
‘What- what’s up with this whole thing now at the Kansas City Chiefs that everybody’s celebrating?’ he goes on to ask, before turning his attention to the Shake It Off singer.
Referring to her as ‘some lady, some girl,’ Kunneman – who runs his evangelical operation with his wife, Brenda – continues: ‘If you look at her concerts, man, it’s- she- she does Satanic rituals and witchcraft.
Why would you want to put that stuff in your home?”
The man who once suggested God would ‘restore Trump’ as president after Biden’s win then hones in on Kelce, who last month appeared in an ad that aired on national TV that advised watchers to get their flu and COVID-19 shots.

The declarations regarding Swift likely stemmed from a series of X and Instagram posts penned by the artist where she used sorceress-friendly language to thank fans and sell her 2020 ‘Lonely Witch Willow’ remix

Casting doubt on the pair’s romance the oft-problematic preacher alleged there a conspiracy in the since-deleted sermon, at a point asking the audience: ‘I mean, you don’t think that there’s a connection [between Pfizer and Swift] somewhere?’
The ad aired during Kelce’s Chiefs win over the New York Jets on October 1 – a game that Swift, 33, herself attended to cheer on her then-rumored boyfriend, who is 34.
To this, Kunneman stammers: ‘And then, he just- and they- she just happens to be dating ‘Mr. Pfizer’ – the football player?’
Casting doubt on the pair’s romance – which was all but confirmed last month when the two showed up to an SNL afterparty hand-in-hand – the oft-problematic preacher sniped: ‘I mean, you don’t think that there’s a connection somewhere?’
The wayward comment quickly sparked fierce uproar online, though most came up to bat over the questionable claims regarding Swift.
Those declarations, while unfounded, likely stemmed from a series of X and Instagram posts penned by the artist where she used sorceress-friendly language to thank fans and sell her 2020 ‘Lonely Witch Willow’ remix.
The more recent post, shared this month, read: ‘What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into.
‘I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for.
In the ad, a pharmacist asks Kelce – who also recently starred in a 15-second commercial where cracked open a can of Bud Light after the recent scandal involving TikToker Dylan Mulvaney – if he knows that he can get this season’s COVID shot at the same time as his flu shot
To this, Kelce responds, ‘Huh, two things at once’ – before breaking out into an effort that sees him performing multiple tasks at the same time, like barbecuing while mowing the lawn and ordering two items at a restaurant.
‘One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported Cruel Summer SO much, I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it.’
The 2020 post, accompanied with a rather pensive photo of the singer, remarked: ‘Witches be like “Sometimes I just want to listen to music while pining away/sulking/staring out a window.” It’s me. I’m witches.
‘Never fear, the “willow lonely witch remix” is here.’
Both were inherently harmless, but sparked responses from the right including former Republican Georgia governor candidate Kandiss Taylor, who accused Swift of ‘influencing innocent minds to be enticed with the dark side of spirituality.’
Swift never responded to those claims, but recent performances of her seminal Eras Tour show that she has not been engaged in any witchcraft – at least while on-stage.
The jab – for lack of a better word – toward the football star, however, came just weeks after his recent commercial.
In it, a pharmacist asks Kelce – who also recently starred in a 15-second commercial where cracked open a can of Bud Light after the recent scandal involving TikToker Dylan Mulvaney – if he knows that he can get this season’s COVID shot at the same time as his flu shot.
The sermon comes just a few weeks after Swift and Kelce appeared to put rumors to be regarding their romance by showing up to an SNL afterparty in New York hand-in-hand
To this, Kelce responds, ‘Huh, two things at once’ – before breaking out into an effort that sees him performing multiple tasks at the same time, like barbecuing while mowing the lawn and ordering two items at a restaurant.
In an accompanying, partnered post to his Instagram, Kelce continued to shill the pharma’s firms at-times controversial COVID shot.
‘With my schedule, saving time is key,’ the athlete wrote while resharind the ad to his Instagram. ‘The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop!’
Kunneman, meanwhile, has yet to comment on his sermon’s sudden deletion.
