Miss Americana

The parents dragged me into watching this documentary film when we were having the dinner and it was nice for a change that we get to see the actual real Taylor Swift. It was interesting to see behind the scenes of the Kanye West situation as well as developing the music she is well known for.

If you run out of movies or any series ideas you like to watch, I recommend this to anyone whether you're a Taylor Swift fan or not!

This honestly made me want to give Taylor a hug and tell her it's gonna be okay. I don't really listen to her music these days, but even still, the real ness of this changed my view of her and who the media says she is. I'm so glad I watched.

While I don't agree with all of Taylor's politics, I do agree with some, this documentary was absolutely wonderfully done. I've seen bad ratings saying it's a tale of the entitled......just because someone is rich doesn't mean their life is perfect. She grew up to be what people wanted her to be. Watching her transform from a puppet to her own person with a strong mind is extremely touching. Good for her for stepping into her own.

Believe or not, before watching this documentary, I have never listened to any of her songs no matter how famous she is/was. Just because today is women's day, I felt obliged to watch something related to an influential woman of our century and discovered this beautiful surprise. I always label her as some dumb b*tch who famous for creating songs for her exes. But but but her genuineness and impressive talent did move me big time. Like the soul searching bits, finding own voices and stands, and eventually she has learned to out-live her haters and live her life without needing the approval of others. Haters gonna hate anyway, let's live our life to the fullest and be a successful woman!

When I heard about this documentary, my expectations were relatively low. I was a fan of Taylor Swift's music in the 2000s and early 2010s, but over time, I guess I just drifted away. Upon hearing about the documentary, I thought maybe it would be some "believe in your dreams" bullcrap to inspire the younger fans. I was wrong. Taylor shows how she deals/dealt with real issues that everyone can relate to. From feeling alone, the need to be the best you possibly can, and eating disorders, it stunned me. The documentary shows us Taylor's life from a new perspective, HER perspective. I would've never guessed that she felt that way at the VMAs. The documentary also shows the results of callout culture, and how she coped with it. Taylor has gone through a lot these past two decades, and the documentary shows everything in a new light. Does this documentary make me want to go listen to her music? Yeah, but not the same way I used to. Do I have more respect for Swift? Undoubtedly. I give Miss Americana a 9/10
