Taylor Swift has responded to a joke made about her love life and past relationships in the new Netflix show Ginny & Georgia, calling it “lazy” and “deeply sexist.”  In the first episode of the show, which dropped last week, one of the characters made a joke at the singer’s expense, saying, “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.”  This prompted backlash from Swift’s fans, who called out the streaming platform and the show’s writers for “misogynistic and slut-shaming” jokes, and pointed out another Swift reference in 2017’s Degrassi: Next Class. http://instagram.com/p/B8hh124DI9x Now Swift herself has responded to the joke, writing 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 shit as FuNnY.” |

Taylor Swift is speaking out against Netflix and its comedy Ginny and Georgia after an episode featured a joke about her dating history.
On Monday, the 31-year-old singer-songwriter shared a statement on Twitter slamming the streaming service and the show's writers for incorporating a joke that read: "What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift."
"Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back," Swift wrote. "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," she added, referencing her 2020 documentary, which Netflix has exclusive rights to. "Happy Women's History Month I guess."
Netflix did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
Several of Swift's fans also expressed their outrage over the joke, pointing out that in another Netflix show — Degrassi: Next Class — a character also claimed: "Taylor Swift made an entire career off her exes."

Taylor Swift has accused a Netflix show of "degrading" women for featuring a joke she branded "deeply sexist".
The pop star tweeted to criticise the joke, which was in the season finale of comedy-drama Ginny and Georgia.
In one scene, main characters Ginny Miller and her mother Georgia argued about relationships.
Asked whether she had broken up with her boyfriend, Ginny said: "What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift."
The line incurred the wrath of Swift's fans, prompting criticism of the show and its cast members on social media. Some Swift fans even called for a boycott of the series.
On Monday, Swift herself addressed the controversy in a tweet, writing: "Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back."
Netflix has not yet commented on the criticism, nor has anyone associated with Ginny and Georgia.
Swift's love life has long been in the media spotlight.
Swift has been in a relationship with 30-year-old British actor Joe Alwyn for several years.
The couple have largely kept their relationship private -although Alwyn is considered to be the subject of her 2019 track London Boy, in which she sang about her experiences in the city.
The actor has also co-written songs on Swift's two most recent albums, Folklore and Evermore, under the pseudonym William Bowery.
In Monday's tweet, Swift also referenced her documentary Miss Americana, which was released on Netflix in January 2020.
Covering several turbulent years during her career, the documentary revealed intimate details of Swift's life, exploring how her relationships had been dissected by the public and press.
