The success of Ginny & Georgia did not come without its controversy. On social media, the series has been criticized for jokes deemed to be misogynistic along with unflattering lines about famous pop singers like Lady Gaga and Lana Del Ray. In March, singer Taylor Swift put the series on blast for a character on the show joking, “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.” The phrase “Respect Taylor Swift” was trending on Twitter as fans review bombed the series on various platforms, including Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb.
“Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back,” Swift said on Twitter. “How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse sh*t as FuNnY. Also, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you Happy Women’s History Month I guess.”
