MissAmericana director Lana Wilson talks all about new Taylor Swift doc

Taylor Swift and Lana Wilson speak onstage during the Netflix premiere of Miss Americana at Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 23, 2020 in Park City, Utah.she does something nearly unheard of for a pop star: she stops trying to control every aspect of her narrative.

We shot and edited the film, showed Taylor a few cuts, and she gave really great feedback. She was never like, "No, I don't want to go there" -- nothing like that. You always show rough cuts of your film to other documentary filmmakers and get feedback from another storyteller and her thoughts were very like that. It was another excellent set of reactions to the film. She loved it from the first rough cut, she was on board.

One very relatable moment finds her arguing with her dad about speaking out politically: He's worried she'll alienate fans and even endanger her life. It's intimate footage – was part of you like, "I can't believe we're getting this?" No, it wasn’t like that. We filmed it, put together a cut of the movie, I showed Taylor the rough cut and it was like, "Wow." I think she saw it in this context of the film and it's almost like the song means even more if you see it in the context of the film. That's why the decision was made to release the song with the film.
