The Kurt Meinickecrafty, scheming Ginny and Georgia may have finally met their match: Taylor Swift fans.
The mother-daughter duo had more than enough problems to deal with in the first season of Netflix's newly released drama, which started streaming on Wednesday, but now they can add a displeased Taylor Swift and an army of outraged Swifties to their growing list of drama.
For those of you wondering what Ginny & Georgia did to unleash the unforgiving rage of Taylor Swift fans, your answer lies in a joke from the Season 1 finale, "The Worst Betrayal Since Jordyn and Kylie."
At one point in the episode, Georgia (Brianne Howey) inquires about the dating life of her daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry), and Ginny, rude as ever, replies, "What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift."
Fans of the singer were quick to clock the joke made at Swift's expense, and they criticized the line for being misogynistic. They also questioned the show's creator (Sarah Lampert), its writers, and Netflix, for the roles played in amplifying the joke.
On Sunday, "RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT" began trending on Twitter (amassing more than 50,000 tweets) and the line from the show continued to gain more and more online traction. By Monday morning, the fan-driven sentiment was still trending, and Swift — who's been fielding critiques of her dating life for years — took a moment to speak on the joke herself.

"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," Swift tweeted before proceeding to call out Netflix, which released her documentary Miss Americanain 2020.
"Also, @netflix after Miss Americanathis outfit doesn’t look cute on you... Happy Women’s History Month I guess," she tweeted alongside a screenshot of the line under fire.
On Monday morning after Swift's tweet, Miss Americana, "GO OFF QUEEN" (a message of support for the singer), and "Ginny" were all trending on Twitter. Swift fans have also started flooding Ginny & Georgia's pages on popular review sites including IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes with negative user reviews of the show — a tactic that's often implemented by toxic fans, so it's worth noting that it may not be the best look.
Newly posted reviews claim the series is "misogynistic," "disappointing," and promotes "women keeping other women down." The show also currently has an average audience score of 10%, though that appears to be continually falling as the day goes on.
This is why we can't have nice things, Ginny.
