Is everything singular or plural?

Everything is a singular indefinite pronoun. It can also be an antecedent for the singular pronouns “it” and “itself” or the singular possessive adjective “it.”

When “everything” is an antecedent, use singular pronouns and singular possessive adjectives (instead of plurals) to achieve pronoun-antecedent agreement (e.g., “I folded everything in the laundry basket and put it in the drawers”).
