Why is #TaylorSwiftIsLovedParty trending on Twitter?

Recently, Taylor Swift lashed out at Ginny & Georgia, a Netflix show for taking her name in one of their dialogues in a very sexist fashion, referring to her past affairs. It didn’t go down well with her and she tweeted to hit back the show and the streaming platform, which ironically also released a film about her journey and her life just last year. Here’s what she tweeted:

While her move was touted as right by her fans and millions of women who also pointed towards the sexism prevalent in Television, Steven Crowder, an American-Canadian conservative political commentator, and comedian, chose to reply to her tweets expressing his views on the matter.

Crowder obviously found support for his blunt remarks but Swift’s fans did not shy away from shielding their idol from such negativity. They not only called out Crowder’s sexism and citing of religion to restrict women hideous, but also start a hashtag trend #TaylorSwiftIsLovedParty. It soon became all the rage on Twitter with ardent ‘Swifties’ ( what her fans proudly call themselves ) tweeting about her qualities and her talents. Here are some of the fan tweets:
