Taylor Swift: Miss Americana

Swift has clearly felt that pressure — to be young and relatable and relevant — throughout her career, but it’s certainly not unique to her experience.

I think there this movie has a lot of interesting things to say about fame, interesting things to say about how women are conditioned to be good and be nice and not make waves and get the approval of other people.

I came away with a whole new appreciation for one of the most famous people on the planet.

Miss Americana is about her breaking free of that 16-year-old "good girl" she was and becoming the multi-dimensional 30-year-old woman she is today.

"Miss Americana" offers an effective backstage look at Taylor Swift that works best when the megastar opens up about her life and experiences in surprisingly candid ways.

It's honestly challenging to relate to another human being whose candid conversations are recorded on her private jet... But the film does share a tenacious young talent with the world.

What struck me was how messy the film was. When one asks what the film is, it has no concrete answer until the final portion where it gets undeniably raw and important.

Swift isn’t perfect but Miss Americana reminds viewers and fans she is human.

Miss Americana provides Taylor Swift with the space to shed her secrecy, set her story straight, and tell her truth, and she does so with honorable, humanist honesty.



It's bold, brutally honest, and some of Swift's best work yet.
