We introduce the notion of twisted gravitating vortex on a compact Riemann surface. If the genus of the Riemann surface is greater than 1 and the twisting forms have suitable signs, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for suitable range of the coupling constant generalizing the result of arXiv:1510.03810v2 in the non twisted setting. It is proved via solving a continuity path deforming the coupling constant from 0 for which the system decouples as twisted Kahler-Einstein metric and twisted vortices. Moreover, specializing to a family of twisting forms smoothing delta distribution terms, we prove the existence of singular gravitating vortices whose Kahler metric has conical singularities and Hermitian metric has parabolic singularities. In the Bogomolnyi phase, we establish an existence result for singular Einstein-Bogomolnyi equations, which represents cosmic strings with singularities.
