Critics Consensus

Miss Americana provides an engaging if somewhat deliberately opaque backstage look at a pop star turned cultural phenomenon.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

This move absolutely made my day! Watching her stand up for herself and for others, refusing to give up is truly inspiring. Note to TS: You are the MUSIC INDUSTRY! Most importantly, you are a genuinely good human being. You are love. ♥️ You are magic. ✨ You’re strong and fierce. 🥂 You’re an incredibly intelligent person. 🙌 You are everything any girl could aspire to be. Of course, we’re all human, and none of us are perfect but I love every bit of your imperfect self. ✨ I love you so much, TS! Just be yourself and take care of yourself. 😘
