Miss Americana Trailer: Sundance Taylor Swift Doc Comes to Netflix

The Sundance film festival gets underway this week in Park City, Utah, and the opening night film is the upcoming Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana. For those of us who can’t be at the festival, however, the good news is that it will arrive on Netflix just one week later. Directed by Lana Wilson (After Tiller, The Departure), Miss Americana follows Swift through a transformative period of her career as she grapples with self-doubt and eventually embraces her political voice despite the potential commercial backlash. In some ways it seems to echo the 2006 documentary Shut Up and Sing about the Dixie Chicks and their own struggle with the consequences of expressing political views. There was some controversy over whether her former record label would allow her to use older music and performance footage in the movie but as of last month that seems to have been cleared up. Miss Americana arrives on Netflix on Jan. 31st; check out the trailer below and see what you think.
