Miss Americana
#SUNDANCE: “MISS AMERICANA”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Director Lana Wilson has created a thought-provoking Documentary about how fame immensely impacts someone’s self-image, identity and more.
This isn’t a Film that simply scratches the surface of Swift’s life, it digs deep and figures out the root cause of her highly-publicized some moves and emotions. Wilson is able to achieve this level of investigation because Swift is completely unbarred and delivers her truth speaking about politics, feminism, misogyny, body image (including revealing a bout with an eating disorder) and more. The scenes where she addresses these topics are often emotionally hard-hitting, however, we get a good glimpse also in candid studio clips, showing her magnetic talent and quick wit.
Miss Americana isn’t about portraying Swift’s life as daisies and rainbows, instead she talks about the good, the bad, her flaws and what she can do to be the person she aspires to be. Fans soon will be able to stream this Friday, January 31, 2020.

#SUNDANCE: DAY ONE RECAP – TAYLOR SWIFT AT THE “MISS AMERICANA” PREMIERE
It was an action-packed Day One at Sundance! Following on Amanda Gilmore‘s Preview of the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, she was out in the thick of the action getting in on some of the excitement. Taylor Swift made a huge splash in Park City, appearing in support of her Netflix Documentary MISS AMERICANA, the Trailer which just surfaced this week.
While it was never really confirmed that Swift would be appearing, there were some sightings of her earlier today on Main Street, which sealed the deal. Fans lined the street and Amanda tells us there were about 200 fans waiting just for a chance to get a rush ticket to attend the Premiere of the Documentary. She walked right through the front entrance but not without talking lots of Selfies with Fans, insisting on grabbing their cell phones and doing it herself for them!
See some of Amanda’s Snaps below, including some video footage if you swipe left on the Album:
While it was rumoured The Obamas would show up for CRIP CAMP, a Documentary the power couple produced, alas they didn’t make it out.
Stay tuned, Amanda’s got lots more to deliver us from Park City these next few days including her Reviews of some of the Festival’s most-buzzed Films and star sightings!
