Taylor Swift is adding to her impressive roster of life achievements with a brand new Netflix show. The all-access documentary, Miss Americana, will see the singer-songwriter invite cameras into her private life for the very first time.
Sharing the emotional trailer to Instagram, the singer wrote: “Miss Americana – Official Trailer · It’s been a long time coming Out in select theaters and on @NetflixFilm January 31”. In the clip, she opens up about constantly fighting for people’s respect, why she disappeared from public life for over a year and how she managed to find her voice. We even get her glimpse of her long-term boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.
The film, which is directed by Emmy winning Lana Wilson, will be available to stream on Netflix on 31 January, shortly after it appears at this year’s Sundance Film Festival on 23 January.
The news of Miss Americana’s impending release comes as a sigh of relief after Taylor ex-manager Scooter Braun, who she has been in dispute about song rights with for months, initially refused to license her music for use in the film.
Fans flocked to Instagram to celebrate the news. “Can’t wait to lay in bed all day with a bunch of ice cream and watch this on repeat,” wrote one user, whilst another said: “I’M CRYING OMG. TAYLOR, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH THIS DOCUMENTARY.” Others hailed the singer “queen of pop.”
Taylor, who was the highest paid celebrity of 2019, joins Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry who have all released their own documentaries. Last year, it was also announced that Selena Gomez is joining the club with a Netflix documentary centered around migrant families in the US in the works.
Whether you’re a Swiftie or not, this documentary on one of the world’s most famous women is not to be missed.
