“2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back.”

Taylor Swift took to social media to call out a Netflix show for a “sexist joke” made at her expense.

The pop star tweeted to criticise the joke, which was in the season finale of the comedy-drama Ginny and Georgia.

The joke saw one character say to another “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift”, a line which Swift took issue with.

She wrote: “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’.

“Happy Women’s History Month I guess.”

Swift also referenced Miss Americana, a documentary about her career that aired on Netflix in 2020.

Swift has an extremely passionate fanbase, many of whom have since taken to calling out actors and crew members from the show.

Some have called for the Netflix series to be boycotted.

The popstar’s love life has been heavily scrutinised in the past, which she has often addressed in her music.
