TDS STRIKES AGAIN: Pop icon angers fans by sharing faith, prayer challenge: ‘MAGA religious b—-’

February 22, 2026

From Fox News: Gwen Stefani is facing both backlash and praise after speaking out on faith.

As the pop icon promotes a 40-day Lent challenge on the prayer and meditation app Hallow, she’s facing accusations of undergoing a “MAGA makeover.”

“Hey everyone, I just got my ashes, and I’m ready for Lent. This year, I’ll be doing Hallow’s 40-day Lent Prayer Challenge. It’s going to be incredible. Check it out. God bless,” Stefani says in the ad, which has been widely shared on social media.

In an Instagram post she shared on Ash Wednesday, Stefani invited her 17.7 million followers to join her in a 40-day prayer challenge for Lent.

Stefani’s decision to share her faith and to work with Hallow drew a strong response from some of her fans. While some were supportive and proud, others were downright hateful, saying she was no longer cool as a religious conservative partnering with the prayer app.

The Hallow app has been dragged by critics who appear too be appalled that the Christian Bible-based app has an anti-abortion stance. Critics are also displeased with its ties to conservative figures. For instance, Vice President JD Vance is an investor.

These are unforgivable sins, according to some fans on X.

“She’s MAGA?” wrote one Instagram fan, disappointment oozing despite the fact that Stefani stays out of politics, the assumption seemingly based solely on the fact that she shared her faith and partnered with the Christian app.

One vocal detractor wrote, “How she went from being the coolest woman ever to this MAGA religious b—- is beyond me. Shame on her.”

Another called “Stefani’s MAGA downfall” out as “soooo disappointing.”

“She has the maga makeover…” accused another.

“Ugh canceled,” another unhappy follower declared.

“RIP GWEN STEFANI,” another disheartened fan wrote.

Some fans defended Stefani, however.

“If being religious is now a MAGA thing, then maybe we should start dragging all your favorites who also share faith,” a supportive follower wrote.

Another wrote, “It’s a huge disservice when we label people who just want to stay out of the political moment. Gwen represents millions who don’t fit into these boxes. We should be careful.”
