Taylor Swift’s Netflix Documentary “Miss Americana” Will Open Sundance Festival, Presumably with Barred Songs

Share

Remember (so long ago now) when Taylor Swift wanted use of her songs in a Netflix documentary? Well, it’s all worked out apparently.

“Miss Americana” will open the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2020. Then it will play on Netflix sometime next year.

Press release says: “Miss Americana is a raw and emotionally revealing look at one of the most iconic artists of our time during a 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.

Uh huh. On January 23rd we’ll know if Taylor is planning on performing or appearing at the Grammys, just three days later. It would seem hard to do both, what with rehearsals for the Grammys commencing the next day, but she’s young. Anything is possible.

“Miss Americana” is directed by Lana Wilson (After Tiller, The Departure) and produced by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), Academy Award winner Caitrin Rogers (20 Feet From Stardom, The Music of Strangers), and Christine O’Malley.
