Dear Taylor Swift, If You Want To Fix America, This Isn’t The Way To Do It

Miss Americana, the new documentary all about Taylor Swift, just dropped on Netflix. It’s supposedly the story of a brave young woman fighting for who she really is and culminating in the moment she reveals her true political beliefs. There’s only one problem: in the process, she offends and alienates one half of the country and one half of her fanbase.

The Perfect Narrative

Miss Americana shows us a few select highlights of Taylor Swift’s career, obviously curated to create the perfect narrative. They include videos of her as a child, showing that she’s always wanted to be a singer. They show videos of her writing her music. They show Kanye West interrupting her at the Video Music Award’s and how she was affected. They include the sexual assault case in which Taylor was sued by a DJ who lifted her skirt from behind and touched her while they were taking a photo, and in which she countersued for one dollar.
