Zac Brown has spoken out to firmly refute online rumors suggesting his Las Vegas residency involved "satanic rituals," calling the claims completely false and misleading.
The speculation emerged following performances from Zac Brown's Love & Fear residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, where dramatic visuals-including skeletal imagery, fire elements, and immersive cinematic scenes-prompted some social media users to accuse the show of occult symbolism. The claims quickly spread online, despite lacking any factual basis.
Addressing the rumors directly during his December 12 performance, Brown did not mince words.
"People are saying this is some kind of satanic ritual," Brown told the crowd. "That's horse s-t."
He went on to clarify that the show's message is rooted in positivity, unity, and emotional storytelling-not darkness or hidden agendas.
"This show is about love and light," Brown emphasized, adding that misinformation thrives when people choose outrage over context. He encouraged fans to push back against false narratives when they encounter them online.
The controversy sparked mixed reactions among fans. Many dismissed the accusations as sensationalism driven by misunderstanding the show's theatrical elements, while others debated the broader cultural tendency to interpret symbolic stage visuals through conspiratorial lenses.
The situation escalated to the point that even the Church of Satan publicly commented, stating that Zac Brown's performances did not resemble satanic rituals-underscoring the absurdity of the claims.
Known for his genre-blending artistry and emotionally resonant performances, Zac Brown has consistently used visual storytelling to enhance the themes of his music. The Love & Fear residency continues to draw strong crowds and praise for its immersive experience, artistic ambition, and heartfelt messaging.
Brown's response serves as a reminder of the importance of discernment in the digital age-and a clear reaffirmation of the values behind his music and live performances.
