preview

The pop star was unimpressed with the series for 'degrading' her. Advertisement will not be celebrating Women's History Month with the writers of Netflix's . On Monday, the singer tweeted criticism of a joke made at her expense on the show. "Hey Ginny &amp; Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back," Swift wrote on Twitter. "How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse s--- as FuNnY." The line with which Swift took issue takes place in the season one finale of the mother-daughter dramedy.

Swift also called out for distributing the content, after the streaming giant released her documentary film, in January 2020. "This outfit doesn't look cute on you," she wrote, adding, "Happy Women's History month I guess." Netflix didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment. Ginny &amp; Georgia&nbsp;is available to stream on Netflix now. Related content: this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines.
