Pop star Taylor Swift describes Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as a “homophobic racist” and “Trump in a whig” in her newly released Netflix documentary Miss Americana. But Blackburn, perhaps anticipating the attacks, took the high ground this week and issued a statement in which she offers to work with the Grammy-winning singer.
“Taylor is an exceptionally gifted artist and songwriter, and Nashville is fortunate to be the center of her creative universe,” said Blackburn’s statement. “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,” Blackburn’s letter reads. “On that note, I wish Taylor the best — she’s earned it.”

Miss Americana sees Swift struggling with superstardom, explaining her regret for not being vocal politically during the 2016 election cycle, and her decision to endorse Sen. Blackburn’s opponent during the 2018 midterm elections.

Taylor, I was crazier for you at 26 than I was at 16.
You cannot walk into the den of snakes and not get bit.
What a total waste of a fine looking woman. I guess she’s never heard of the Trump Curse.
Its called “Slander” and Celebrities are NOT protected by laws.
Trump in a Whig?
Good luck seeking “common ground” with this one.
Classy answer...no rebuttal to that!
No just no.
Quit changing the laws to “level the field” for entertainers.
Consumers get screwed every time.
Streaming is currently paying the labels more than the album sales (physical or digital) do. But the money isn’t going to the specific artists you stream.
Marsha Blackburn is a class act, Taylor Swift is not.
May I ask....exactly *who* is “Taylor Swift”?
If she wasn’t a not talent hack she wouldn’t have to show so much ass to get attention.
Trump in a WHIG???
What a maroon!!
Homosexual acts should be illegal. Should have always been illegal. Should be returned to being illegal.
Championing homosexuals in any way in society should earn you obscurity and scorn.
I hope Taylor is in therapy. She needs help.
Long before she opened her virtue signaling mouth to tell us all how to live, I got a super creepy vibe from this woman. She always seemed like a phony, entitled mean girl who was born on third base and thought she hit a triple while wanting everyone to think she was a little sweetheart.
Marsha , Marsha, Marsha......
.....why waste your time!!!!
Yes a well-designed package of stupid!
