Musician Grimes has surprised fans by revealing her newfound interest in Christianity. The singer, known for her unconventional persona, announced on social media that she’s turning to faith to help her quit vaping.
“It is so monumentally embarrassing that I am finally getting into Christianity because it’s the only way I can quit vaping,” Grimes tweeted on December 28, 2024.

Grimes elaborated on her turning point, stating, “but there really is something in here that at least speaks to me and what is strange is I never truly needed it until I had to stop myself from doing something destructive. I don’t usually have a drive that overrides my central nervous system that wants to do smthn as destructive as vaping (so so soooo lame).” Despite her newfound interest in Christianity, the singer identifies more as a “general deist,” believing god manifests through physics, mathematics, and human perception.
This exploration of religion is uncharted territory for Grimes, who confessed, “This has rly been sending me into a philosophical tailspin tho cuz I have never ever ever had my mind even remotely accessible to religion like I distinctly was extremely doubtful abt it in like grade 1 before I could even be introduced to the concept of doubting it.
Grimes even went as far as saying, “I’m too corrupt to be a catholic I fear”, in a separate tweet.

This announcement follows Grimes’ recent denial of being “dumped” by her former partner, Elon Musk, the father of their three children: X Æ A-12, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and techno Mechanicus (Tau).

Banks had also tweeted about Grimes’ break-up with Musk, and the electronic pop artist addressed it: “i didn’t “get dumped”. I bounced. My amazing baby is asleep in my bed beside me,I’m in love. no regrets. Life is as gorgeous as u want it to be.”
Last month, Grimes opened up about her custody battle with Musk over their children, and the ways in which it allegedly affected the time with them. Grimes wrote: “Having babies rips you apart and puts you back together. Babies are 10 thousand philosophy classes of shit [that] you can only learn from that experience.”
She continued: “Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights, having my Instagram posts and modelling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids.”
Last year, the musician sued Musk over the custody rights to Tau,claiming that he wasn’t letting her visit him.Shortly after filing the lawsuit, Grimes seemed to suggest that Musk was preventing her from seeing the child. “Tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
