Taylor Swift’s political outreach fell short Tuesday and did not deliver a win for Democrats in Tennessee as Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn defeated her opponent.

Shortly after news outlets called the Senate race for Blackburn, conservative commentators and members of the media took to their social media accounts to let the 28-year-old singer know that coming out and throwing her support behind Democratic candidate Phil Bredesen did not equal a victory. (RELATED: Senate Candidate Marsha Blackburn Says Voters Care More About Results Than ‘The Story Of Their Day’)

“Sorry, @taylorswift13. Hope it was worth it,” Fox News Katie Pavlich tweeted.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted, “Hey @taylorswift13, haters gonna hate. #shakeitoff.”

The other comments ranged from taking a hit at the “Bad Blood” hit makers past relationship struggles to using the lyrics of her pop songs as punch lines.
