Taylor Swift calls GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn 'Trump in a wig' in new documentary




WASHINGTON (CNN) - Taylor Swift slammed Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee for her conservative stances and likened her to "Trump in a wig" in her new Netflix documentary "Miss Americana."

In the documentary out Friday, Swift goes after Blackburn's record as she gets emotional discussing with her parents and team about wanting to voice her opinion in the 2018 midterm elections, adding that she regrets not speaking out against Donald Trump during the 2016 election.

Swift, who had been reluctant to voice her political opinions in the past, broke her silence on politics during the 2018 midterms and endorsed Blackburn's rival for Senate, Democrat Phil Bredesen, and another Democrat running in Tennessee in an Instagram post. In the post's caption, Swift had said Blackburn's voting record "appalls and terrifies me."

Blackburn, a conservative lawmaker closely tied to the President, ended up winning her 2018 race by about 11 points, becoming the first female senator to represent her state.

Later in the documentary, Swift is shown reacting to Blackburn's election victory, saying she "can't believe it."

"She gets to be the first female senator in Tennessee, and she's Trump in a wig," Swift says. "She represents no female interests. She won by being a female applying to the kind of female males want us to be in a horrendous 1950s world.".................................................

[Hoyt]

2. Love it when celebrities risk losing a lot of fans sticking it to GOPers. Most are scared to offend

white wingers.

[YOHABLO]

4. Taylor Swift will lose no one of significance. They can't ''dixie chicks'' her.

She's way too big a celebrity.

7. Nope

Lot of the younger crowd listen to her. Not a bunch of old Hillbillies

8. I don't watch the lives of celebrities, but when I found out she was a good friend of

Carly Simon, I wasn’t surprised that she is standing up to the right.

The Dixie Chicks did it. Just because it’s country music doesn’t mean it represents assholes.

Taylor Swift more and more with every comment like this she makes. Her fans are the future, and they see through the bullshit just like Taylor does.
