Taylor Swift Documentary 'Miss Americana' to Open Sundance Film Festival

Taylor Swift is ready to give people a glimpse into her life in her upcoming Netflix original documentary Taylor Swift: Miss Americana, set to debut at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 23, 2020, the streaming service announced Wednesday. 
The new doc, directed by Emmy winner Lana Wilson and produced by Academy Award winner Morgan Nevill, is described as a "raw and emotionally revealing look at one of the most iconic artists of our time." Throughout the documentary, the audience will get an inside look at the singer's "transformational period in her life as she learns to embrace her role not only as a songwriter and performer but as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice." Taylor Swift Documentary To Come To Sundance Film Festival In 2020 Before Netflix Release.
Academy Award winner Morgan Neville (Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), Academy Award winner Caitrin Rogers (20 Feet From Stardom, The Music of Strangers), and Christine O’Malley (Wordplay, I.O.U.S.A.) will serve as producers. The documentary is a Tremolo Production.   
News of the documentary arrives weeks after Swift spoke out against Big Machine Label Group founder Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun, alleging that they declined the use of her older music and performance footage for the Netflix documentary, a project that had yet to be announced at the time. "There is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film," Swift noted at the time. She had also added that Braun and Borchetta had both refused to allow her to perform her catalog of songs for her performance at the American Music Awards where she received the Artist of the Decade Award. 
Taking to Twitter last month to explain "what's been going on," Swift revealed that she originally planned to perform a medley of her hits on stage, but Borchetta and Braun "claim that would be re-recording my music before I'm allowed to next year."
Swift then shared that Borchetta informed her team that she can use her music only if she agrees to their conditions, which include that she may "not re-record copycat versions" of her songs next year and to "stop talking about him and Scooter Braun." Though the singer's ex-record label offered a licensing deal, granting Swift permission to perform her catalog onstage, the circumstances surrounding the usage of her music in the upcoming documentary continue to remain unknown. 
Swift made a subtle reference to the recent drama while opening her AMA's performance by singing "The Man." Seemingly making a statement, the singer dressed in a white outfit that featured the names of her six previous studio albums in black block lettering — replicating that of a prison uniform and font. Swift was then joined by young girls donning the same white outfit with her album titles while dancing alongside her. Swift continued her performance by singing her hit songs, "Love Story," "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Blank Space," "Shake it Off" and "Lover." 
Despite the drama surrounding her catalog of music, Swift has had quite a successful year. The singer released her seventh album, Lover in August — the album features a song titled "Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince," similar to the title of the Netflix documentary — was recently named one of People Magazine's People of the Year and is set to star in the upcoming film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Cats, set to hit theaters Dec. 20. 
The singer is recognized as one of the most successful female artists after debuting as a country music singer at the age of 15 before transitioning to the pop genre. Known for being notoriously private — the singer has been quietly dating The Favourite actor Joe Alwyn for three years — the documentary will mark the first time the singer will offer an inside glimpse into her life, which she hinted during her AMA's acceptance speech has been rather difficult in the past year.
"The last year of my life has had some of the most amazing times and also some of the hardest things I've gone through in my life. Not a lot of them are things that haven't been public," Swift said during her third acceptance speech of the night.
The documentary will also arrive shortly after the singer's 30th birthday on Dec. 13.
Taylor Swift: Miss Americana will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 23, 2020 and will be released globally on Netflix early next year. The documentary joins a female-powered lineup for the festival, announced Wednesday.
