Luigi Mangione ‘green flagged’ by Swifties convinced he went to the Eras Tour?
But fans think he studied the ‘Taylor Swift School of Easter Eggs.’Fans of Taylor Swift are abuzz with theories, believing that Luigi Mangione—the 26-year-old charged with the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—might be one of their own: a devoted Swiftie.
The rumor began with a photo of Mangione circulating online, which some fans claim places him at the third night of Swift’s Eras Tour in Miami. Social media lit up with speculation that Swift’s set list might have influenced Mangione, particularly due to the inclusion of the surprise song “Guilty as Sin.”
“Guilty as sin AND out of the woods??? Pookie was inspired that night,” one comment exclaimed, amassing over 26,000 likes.
Another fan quipped: “The way he waited until the Eras tour was over…king behavior.”
Other comments leaned into humor, with someone noting: “The more I dig into Luigi, the more green flags I find.”
On X (formerly Twitter), the conversation gained momentum when a user remarked that Mangione could have attended Miami’s third show. The post read:
“If Luigi Mangione did actually go to Miami N3, that means he heard both ‘Guilty as Sin’ and ‘Vigilante Shit’ on the same night.”
This triggered even more jokes, with another user responding: “They don’t want you to know this, but this is actually what radicalized him.”
A clip of the concert featuring “Guilty as Sin” even led one person to imagine Mangione’s inner thoughts:
“If she plays ‘Guilty as Sin,’ I’ll do it.”
The song has since found renewed popularity on TikTok, with Swifties sharing clips and dissecting its potential influence.
Did Mangione Really Attend the Eras Tour?
Despite the wave of theories, skepticism has also crept into the conversation.
“Is this real? Nothing about that photo indicates he’s at the Eras Tour,” one user questioned.Unfortunately for fans wanting to believe, the theory doesn’t hold water. The photo of Mangione that sparked the rumors was traced back to CNN, which reported that it was originally posted in 2021—well before Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour began.
Moreover, recent investigations into Mangione’s life reveal he had withdrawn from social interactions in the months leading up to the crime, further casting doubt on his alleged attendance at the Miami concert.
Still, many TikTokers remain intrigued by the story, with one user remarking: “I KNEW it. This man has absolutely been studying at the Taylor Swift School of Easter Eggs.”
While the internet continues to dissect every detail of this strange case, what remains undeniable is how a pop star’s influence can ignite imaginations—even in the most unlikely of situations.
