The Taylor Swift Nazi Lightning Bolt Necklace Controversy refers to online debates over whether or not Taylor Swift’s “Life of a Showgirl Silver Necklace,” a silver necklace with lightning bolt charms running down the chain sold as merch to promote her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, is a Nazi dog whistle. The claim started spreading in mid-October 2025 when some people pointed out a perceived similarity between the lightning bolts on the necklace and the Nazi SS, or Schutzstaffel, symbol. The claim was supported by numerous users on sites like TikTok, Threads and X, but also received significant pushback from those who believed the accusers were reaching and that the charms were simply meant to be lightning bolts. Additionally, some believers in the conspiracy theory shared the claim that the necklace was 14-inches in length and had a total of eight lightning bolts and eight links, believing this to be a reference to the 14 words / 1488 dog whistle.
