Taylor Swift made it loud and clear that she did not appreciate the line of dialogue that references her in the new Netflix comedy Ginny & Georgia: “You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.”
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter took to Twitter this morning to share her statement on the matter.
“Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back,” Swift wrote along with a screenshot of the dialogue. “How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY. Also, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you. Happy Women’s History Month I guess.”
Many of her fans were quick to applaud Swift for her response as well as rip Netflix a new one themselves. Some fans pointed out that this wasn’t the first time one of the platform’s shows used Swift as a punchline for one of their tasteless jokes.
the fact that platforms like @netflix continue to use taylor swift as a punchline for misogynistic and sexist comments, which might I add, would never be made about a male, is the reason we continue to take 3 steps backward for every step forward in feminism.

Others used NBC’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine as a great example of mentioning Swift in an appropriate way.

Either way, it’s 2021. As a society, we’ve moved past using Taylor Swift’s personal life as a punchline to terrible humor. Come up with new content, people!
