Marsha Blackburn, a Republican Senate candidate in Tennessee, responded Tuesday to Taylor Swift’s social media dig against her, and the pop star's announcement that she would be voting for Democrats in the midterm elections.

“Of course I support women and I want violence to end against women,” Blackburn said. “I've been very active in abuse shelters and child advocacy centers. I've been advocating for women in equal pay since I was 19 years old and making certain that woman have the opportunity for maximum pay and have a good record on that.”

The congresswoman continued: "We're getting ready the Music Modernization Act that I helped steer through Congress. It's going to be signed on Thursday by the president. I've been very active in that and Taylor Swift will benefit by that." The wide-ranging bill would affect payments to songwriters, copyright performance rights and royalties, among other things.

We're getting ready the Music Modernization Act that I helped steer through Congress.

uhh….I wouldn't be bragging about that if I were you, Marsha. It just shows that you're willing to sell out our Founders' philosophy on intellectual property rights to your state's most powerful lobby.

Doesn’t she have anyone who can tell her “no”?

The answer to that is no. Nobody at the top of the entertainment industry does. It's how people like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby get away with stuff for decades when its an open secret in their industry.

Cosby even admitted it was the reason he was allowed to make Leonard, Part VI. Simply no one was willing to tell him no.

Taylor’s statement has had some effect. Millions of her 13 - 15 year old girl fans have rushed to register for the upcoming elections.
