Alessa Dominguez BuzzFeed News 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. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Alonso Duralde Breakfast All Day 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. Rated: 8.5/10 Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Christy Lemire Breakfast All Day I came away with a whole new appreciation for one of the most famous people on the planet. Rated: 8/10 Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Carson Timar ClapperCast 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. Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Elizabeth Garcia But Why Tho? A Geek Community Swift isn’t perfect but Miss Americana reminds viewers and fans she is human. Rated: 8/10 Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Evan V. 100% Wow. Just...wow. This movie really surprised me. I thought this film was just going to be just another documentary like the “OLIVIA RODRIGO: DRIVING HOME 2 U (A SOUR FILM)” on Disney+, but it wasn't..it was better. This film manages to keep you engaged meanwhile telling a depressing yet inspiring tale about the journey of Taylor Swift's life, and how people, fans, and government officials affect Swift’s life both negatively and positively, really helping you to understand what it is to be a celebrity. Not only that, but this film doesn’t even feel like a documentary at times, due to the structure of the storytelling, and at certain parts of the film it feels like a coming-of-age story, especially because it touches on important ideals and important morals that Taylor Swift learns over the course of the film, that anyone could apply to their life. On top of that this film uses many good songs that Taylor has made, but still leaves out some of the overplayed ones that everyone knows. Truly, this film is a masterpiece both by a documentary stand point, and by a coming-of-age film stand point. 10/10. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Artur A PERFEITO MDSSSSSSS. Mds Taylor Swift você é perfeita e muito necessária. Cada pauta abordada nesse documentário é necessária até nos dias de hoje!!!!!!!! Já amava ela mas aqui conheci um outro lado que eu nunca vi. MÃE 😭 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Audience Member this really opened my eyes... she can do it all with a broken heart! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Abigail L Taylor Swift: Miss Americana offers a raw and intimate look at the evolution of one the biggest artists. This documentary perfectly balances personal vulnerability and public success, showing how Taylor Swift navigates the pressures of fame, her political awakening, and the complexities of being a female artist in the spotlight. Through behind-the-scenes footage and candid moments, it reveals a side of Swift rarely seen before. The film not only celebrates her career but also portrays her growth as a woman with a voice that can't be ignored. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Kate H As a big fan of Taylor Swift, I was excited to get a glimpse into her personal life and songwriting process. This film gave me way more. I got to see Swift at her hardest time in her life and how she rose back up from the ashes. Watching her find herself again after the 2016 incident was inspiring as well as seeing her use her voice to change the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Marjun M Boring af. I dunno what to feel. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
