Taylor Swift Gets Message From Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn Regarding 'Miss Americana'

Republican senator Marsha Blackburn is reaching out to Taylor Swift after getting slammed in her Miss Americana documentary.

The 67-year-old senator apparently has a not-so-flattering appearance in the 30-year-old “You Need to Calm Down” singer’s new doc.

The two have had differing opinions on some major social issues, such as women’s and LGBTQ issues.

Taylor is an exceptionally gifted artist and songwriter, and Nashville is fortunate to be the center of her creative universe,” Marsha said in a statement on Thursday (January 30) (via Variety).

“While there are policy issues on which we may always disagree, we do agree on the need to throw the entertainment community’s collective influence behind legislation protecting songwriters, musicians, and artists from censorship, copyright theft, and profiteering,” Marsha Blackburn continued. “The Music Modernization Act was a huge win for creators, and the BOTS Act for fans. Growing support behind the AM-FM Act will close loopholes blocking compensation for radio play.”

She added, “I welcome any further opportunities to work with Tennessee’s and the nation’s creative communities to protect intellectual property and ensure appropriate compensation for their creations. On that note, I wish Taylor the best — she’s earned it.”

Also in the doc, Taylor revealed her struggles with an eating disorder.
