Her image is sweet honey, but she is at odds with the whole world. • Taylor Swift allowed cameras to enter her home, but the enigma remained unsolved
From "Miss Americana"
Taylor Swift's porcelain face does not imply that, but the singer from Tennessee is already 30. She's famous for half her life and still forms an enigma. On the one hand, a blonde doll who writes her own successful music, with an entourage that helps her shape her image, famous and beautiful friends, hundreds of millions of followers on social networks, and fanatical fanbands who follow her. At the same time, Swift is portrayed as a quarrel with half the industry, snatching criticism and gossip from every direction, and causing hatred among many.

So what the hell has made the country girl with the guitar, whose dreams have not changed much since documenting them in a personal diary at the age of 13, to such a successful and popular international artist? Will a documentary that has followed her for the last time be able to crack the mystery? "Miss Americana," the movie about Swift coming up on Netflix this weekend, doesn't really provide an objective answer to the question, and what it mostly does is bolster its image among its fans.

Director Lena Wilson, who was chosen for the role by the lead star, has released a film that praises and picks Taylor Swift. A work that empowers the Swift persona to inflate dimensions. The singer reveals diaries she wrote in her youth, home videos and archive footage, she opens the locker room and home, and is always camera-conscious. Despite this, Wilson manages to pass it on to us intimately with a glimpse of studio work, a songwriting process on an iPhone or piano in the living room with a cat traveling on the keyboards. Taylor Swift moves on as a strong and powerful woman, but also vulnerable and confused.
"Part of me feels like I'm 57, but on the other hand I have a part that is definitely not ready to have children and definitely not ready for all these adult affairs," she says sincerely, adding that you can't even think about pregnancy when living on a busy schedule with scheduled shows Two years ahead. She said that since the beginning of her career, she was only looking for applause, wanted to be loved as much as possible, aspiring to grow and succeed, and sitting in her pajamas on the living room couch announcing that she had not been nominated for a Grammy only motivated her to record something better immediately.
Swift also reveals eating disorders that began with her as a result of the ongoing talk about her weight, while the director emphasizes the conflicting relationship with Kanye West and points to him as a result of which there is a negative turn on the singer. However, the film ignores further scandals and other conflicts that Swift may have been a little less important to highlight at this point in time.

What actually makes Miss Americana a significant document is the timing. Wilson caught up with the singer exactly during a time of internal process and change. Swift actually digests that this fame, which she carries with her about 16, will not last forever; She talks about celebrities who freeze at the age they became famous, dying to reinvent herself, and at the same time lowers barriers and concerns that have so far stopped her from expressing themselves freely.
In a very important and significant scene, Swift manages to convince those around her (and especially her father) that it's time to make public statements about her political views, and start harnessing the sheer power she has in hand to advance goals that really matter to her as a person, even if it smuggles fans. No more a hit machine that only generates more and more revenue. Taylor's End of the Movie is Taylor who no longer cares for everyone to love her. You know, after all, that's how "Heaters Goes High".
