Miss Americana

This documentary gives you a great inside look into some of Taylor Swift's songwriting and business decisions. She is smart and savvy, but it also shows how lonely being a mega-celebrity can be. While it brushes against some pretty serious topics - her self-imposed isolation, her mom's cancer, and her body image/eating issues - it doesn't go as deep as I would have liked. Clearly, Taylor is pretty protective of her privacy, which is understandable. One of the parts of the documentary that goes the deepest is when she discusses how her people-pleasing personality had led her to validate herself by the approval and praise of strangers. The best part of all though was her frank discussion and an inside look into why she chose to become publicly political. It's a brave move, and you can only applaud her for it, whether you agree with her politics or not.

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!

Miss Americana is as insightful a pop artist documentary as you could hope for, but by keeping some moments private, Swift reminds us that we'll never know the whole story. And really, what gives us the right to?

When I read some of the negative reviews here, it's obvious that they came from salty republicans who are triggered. (Go cry somewhere else, ha) This documentary is showing an open and honest Taylor Swift, who is not scared to let the public see different sides to her success and her personal life. She comes across as a very sharp and sweet woman who despite her massive success at a very young age still is down to earth and very humane in her wish to stay on "the right side of history". I have always liked her and this documentary made me definitely respect her even more!

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.
