Remember how great Taylor Swift used to be when she just made music and didn’t spout off about politics?
Good times.
She’s different now. She started hanging around people like Lena Dunham and other progressive fembot weirdos, and she BECAME a progressive fembot weirdo.
In her new Netflix documentary which premieres today, Taylor talks about why she started speaking out about politics. Apparently, one of the reasons was Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s politics. Blackburn is a senator from Tennessee, Taylor’s home state, and Taylor told Variety magazine that she was “really upset about Tennessee going the way it did.”
Taylor complained specifically about Blackburn, saying, “She votes against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which is just basically protecting us from domestic abuse and stalking. Stalking,’ Swift explained to her team in the doc. She thinks that if you’re a gay couple, or even if you look like a gay couple, you should be allowed to be kicked out of a restaurant. It’s really basic human rights, and it’s right and wrong at this point, and I can’t see another commercial and see her disguising these policies behind the words ‘Tennessee Christian values.’ Those aren’t Tennessee Christian values. I live in Tennessee. I am Christian. That’s not what we stand for.”
And then she goes into full bitch-mode, calling Blackburn “Trump in a wig. She won by being a female, (representing) the kind of female males want us to be in a horrendous 1950s world.”
K.
Blackburn responded with nothing but class, saying:
“Taylor is an exceptionally gifted artist and songwriter, and Nashville is fortunate to be the center of her creative universe,’ Blackburn’s explained to Variety. ‘While there are policy issues on which we may always disagree, we do agree on the need to throw the entertainment community’s collective influence behind legislation protecting songwriters, musicians, and artists from censorship, copyright theft, and profiteering.
‘The Music Modernization Act was a huge win for creators, and the BOTS Act for fans. Growing support behind the AM-FM Act will close loopholes blocking compensation for radio play. I welcome any further opportunities to work with Tennessee’s and the nation’s creative communities to protect intellectual property and ensure appropriate compensation for their creations. On that note, I wish Taylor the best — she’s earned it.”
Allow me to put that in Tennessee terms.
“Taylor, bless your heart.”
