A Republican running for Secretary of State in Michigan has reportedly dusted off some old-school Satanic panic scare tactics to appeal to her base, suggesting a number of popular musicians are actually in league with the devil.

According to Media Matters, Kristina Karamo, who is running for Michigian Secretary of State, hosted a podcast in the summer of 2020 and claimed that superstar musicians Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish were hypnotising children "under a Satanic delusion."

She called a performance by Grande at the MTV Video Music Awards in which women dancers reenacted Leonardo DaVinci's "The Last Supper" nothing more than a "lesbian orgy."

Ms Karamo also claimed that Beyonce was “working overtime to pull more and more Black Americans into paganism and calling it American spirituality." Beyonce is the focus of many far-right conspiracy theories alleging she is either a member of the "Deep State" or some kind of cult leader.
