Taylor Swift slammed Netflix and its new series ‘Ginny & Georgia’ for a joke about her love life, noting that Netflix released her ‘Miss Americana’ doc.

“Ginny & Georgia,†which first debuted on Netflix in 2021, follows the lives of the Miller family as they move to a fictional affluent town in Massachusetts. Howey plays a 30-year-old mother who embarks on this new adventure with her 15-year-old daughter, Ginny, and 9-year-old son, Austin.

Howey has previously spoken about motherhood and how her relationship with her own mom has informed her role as a TV mother.

“My mom had me at 21, she had my sister at 25, and my mom really had to hustle,†she said on “The View†in January. “So a lot of the scenes that I think would’ve felt jarring between Ginny and Georgia were a little bit more normalized.

In May, “Ginny & Georgia†was renewed for a third and fourth season at Netflix.
