Okay so I gotta admit, this Celine Dion conspiracy theory had me scratching my head. Saw this wild YouTube comment claiming she’s some secret Satanist because of her “Power of Love” lyrics. Figured I’d actually dig into it properly instead of just laughing it off like last time.
Step 1: Tracking Down The Origin
Grabbed my laptop around 9PM and started googling like crazy. Typed in “Celine Dion devil worship rumors” and holy crap – pages of results popped up. Mostly random forums and TikTok stitches. But one pattern kept coming back: people pointing at her 2019 Met Gala outfit with those giant gold wings. Conspiracy folks called it “Illuminati angel wings”. Made me roll my eyes but okay, let’s chase this rabbit hole.
Step 2: Actually Reading Her Interviews
Next morning I brewed strong coffee and searched for her old interviews. Found a 2012 CNN one where she straight-up laughed when asked about religious rumors. She said: “My church is the stage, my bible is song lyrics”. Dug deeper into her Quebec roots – turns out she was raised strict Catholic but left the church young. Kept finding the same pattern: interviews about music, family, her health struggles – zero occult stuff.
- Watched 5+ hours of concert footage looking for “satanic symbols”
- Emailed a Quebec music historian (my cousin’s friend)
- Checked every album cover since 1981 with a magnifying glass
Step 3: Reality Check Moment
That Met Gala outfit? Designer told Vogue it was inspired by Byzantine angels not Satanism. The “suspicious” hand gesture in her Vegas show? Her choreographer confirmed it’s just sign language for “applause” from her deaf fans. Even her much-quoted “Love Can Move Mountains” title? Originally written for her goddaughter’s baptism. Felt pretty stupid at this point.
What Actually Explains This Nonsense
Here’s the crap I realized after three days wasted:
- People just hate successful women – especially French-Canadian ones who dominate charts
- Bored trolls mixing her dramatic performances with Satanic Panic leftovers
- Algorithm pushing engagement bait regardless of truth
The real answer? She’s literally just a 55-year-old mom with stiff-person syndrome who belts power ballads. Saved the research folder as “Internet_Dumbest_Conspiracies” and shut my laptop with a loud clap. Next time someone claims celebrity Satanism? I’ll just send them my 87-page notes and watch them disappear like those basement-dwelling trolls should.
