Taylor Swift’s fans took furious aim at the Golden Globes on Sunday after the singer missed out on a prize for her Eras Tour concert film.
The singer, 34, missed out on the inaugural prize for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement to box office megahit Barbie.
Robbie, 33, and director Greta Gerwig, 40, rushed to the stage along with the cast and crew to accept the award – while Swift was a gracious loser as she led the standing ovation.
However her fans were far less forgiving and flooded social media with complaints that Taylor was robbed of a prize, despite claiming it had been ‘invented’ for her.
One tweeted: ‘Golden globes is rigged taylor should have won,’ while another added: ‘I hope Taylor never goes to these FILM INDUSTRY non-worthy award shows. She is more impactful and popular than everyone in that room combined.’

A third viewer complained: ‘Taylor was robbed at Golden Globe Awards!!! How can you compare a cartoon movie with a global phenomenon?’
‘Taylor ROBBED,’ said one viewer.
One added: ‘They had to invent a category for Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes and she still lost lmao.’
‘Can’t believe we got robbed of seeing Luke Skywalker presenting Taylor Swift with a Golden Globe,’ one viewer shared.
Another said: ‘Barbie did not deserve the Golden Globe for Cinematic & Box Office Achievement. Taylor deserved that award actually.’
Rushing to the stage with director Greta, Margot said: ‘Thank you. We would like to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on Earth, the movie theaters.
‘Thank you, and thank you to everybody, all the Barbies and Kens in front of and behind the screen.
‘It was the greatest most joyful show of craftsmanship and passion I’ve ever seen.
