Brooke Hogan is facing backlash after posting — and quickly deleting — a message seemingly accusing Taylor Swift’s new album of being influenced by “the devil.”
Hogan, 37, shared her opinion on social media following the release of Swift’s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. The post appeared to criticize the singer’s use of explicit language and implied something darker.
“Literally changed the F word in a song because I had the thought of: ‘What if kids listen to this?’” Hogan wrote, according to the Daily Mail. “After BRIEFLY listening to a new release by a very popular female artist, I’m convinced the devil is working through music and television. It’s beyond a cuss word. It’s a curse. It’s spells. Don’t be a sheep. Guard your gates. Protect your children.”

Hogan did not name Swift directly, but the timing and references had many believing she was referring to the 35-year-old pop star’s 12th studio album, which was released on October 3. Swift has spent the past week promoting the album through global talk show appearances.
While Hogan criticized the album’s content, Swift simultaneously released both explicit and clean versions of The Life of a Showgirl. The clean version includes subtle lyrical changes, such as swapping out curse words, to make it more accessible for younger listeners.

The album broke Spotify’s record for the most-streamed album in a single day this year. Fans also praised Swift for continuing her tradition of providing family-friendly alternatives.
“Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for Taylor’s dedication to releasing clean versions of her albums!” one fan wrote on Reddit. “I have a 9-year-old who is excited to listen to the album in full and being able to listen to ‘Wood’ and ‘Father Figure’… I just love it so much that it makes it so easy to enjoy for so many more!!!”
