The singer claimed then that the Republican candidate would not \u201cbe willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time Swift had waded into politics, saying, \u201cAs much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me \u2026 These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift\u2019s criticism ultimately had little impact on Blackburn\u2019s campaign, however, as she won the election handily.<\/p>\n<p>The pop singer complained about Blackburn again in the 2020 Netflix documentary, \u201cMiss Americana,\u201d that tracked Swift\u2019s shift to a part-time political operative, saying, \u201cShe gets to be the first female senator in Tennessee, and she\u2019s Trump in a wig. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Blackburn responded graciously to Swift\u2019s insults, putting out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackburn.senate.gov\/2020\/1\/blackburn-statement-taylor-swift-documentary\">statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><em>\u201cTaylor is an exceptionally gifted artist and songwriter, and Nashville is fortunate to be the center of her creative universe. While there are policy issues on which we may always disagree, we do agree on the need to throw the entertainment community\u2019s collective influence behind legislation protecting songwriters, musicians, and artists from censorship, copyright theft, and profiteering. 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. I welcome any further opportunities to work with Tennessee\u2019s and the nation\u2019s creative communities to protect intellectual property and ensure appropriate compensation for their creations. On that note, I wish Taylor the best \u2014 she\u2019s earned it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This week, though, in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/07\/08\/exclusive-marsha-blackburn-taylor-swift-would-be-the-first-victim-of-marxism-socialistic-government\/\">Breitbart<\/a>, Blackburn explained what it would mean to the genre in which Swift first found success if political views like hers were to prevail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you talk about country music, and I know the left is all out now and trying to change country music and make it woke. When I\u2019m talking to my friends who are musicians and entertainers, I say, \u2018If\u2014<em>if<\/em>\u2014we have a socialistic government,&nbsp;<em>if<\/em> we have Marxism, you are going to be the first ones who will be cut off because the state would have to approve your music,&#8217;\u201d she said. \u201cAnd, you know, Taylor Swift came after me in my 2018 campaign. But Taylor Swift would be the first victim of that, because when you look at Marxist socialist societies, they do not allow women to dress or sing or be on stage or to entertain or the type music that she would have. They don\u2019t <em>allow<\/em>&nbsp;<em>protection<\/em>&nbsp;of private intellectual property rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift has not yet addressed Blackburn\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
