Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and pop star Taylor Swift have a history of feuding publicly starting, with the 2018 midterm elections when Swift endorsed Blackburn’s opponent, former Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen. The singer claimed then that the Republican candidate would not “be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.”

It was the first time Swift had waded into politics, saying, “As 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 … These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate.”
