And after Taylor got wind of it herself, she hit out at Netflix in a tweet: “Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse s*** as FuNnY.
"Also, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you. Happy Women’s History Month I guess.”
Taylor has since been flooded with support from her fellow celebrity pals, including boyfriend Joe Alwyn and best friend Todrick Hall.
