On January 31, Netflix released the documentary "Taylor Swift: Miss Americana". The two official translations, "Ms. America" and "Miss American Sweetheart", sound like one is too much and the other is not enough, which is really confusing.
It's hard to tell if this is a good documentary. Is there any ulterior motive in launching such a nearly half-length film about the political leanings of an influential public figure when the 2020 US election is about to come. But there's no question that Taylor's display of growth and courage encouraged me, who was equally bewildered.
At the beginning of the film, Taylor sits on the window sill with light makeup, holding a childhood diary, bathing in the sun all over his body, and eloquently said, "I used to be a so-called belief, and I need people around me to think that I am a good person."
In the eyes of many people, Taylor went smoothly and became famous at a young age. At the age of 12, she took to the stage and appeared in the eyes of people as the little princess of country music. Before she was 20 years old, she became the youngest country music singer-songwriter in history. She ran to the stage wearing a dress skirt and high heels, receiving flowers and applause from all over the world.
There is never a shortage of conversation about Taylor, so much so that people often forget that she is a musician and a singer first and foremost.
The 19-year-old Taylor was robbed of the microphone by Kanye during his acceptance speech and declared that "Beyonce's music video is the best", he rudely took the microphone, and rudely put the microphone back into her hand, and left like nothing Step down, leaving Taylor alone and helpless and finally left the stage sadly.
"The boos in the audience really have a big impact on whether people applaud you as the basis of their belief system," said the 19-year-old girl who thought the audience booing Kanye was booing her.
In an interview with reporters after that, she said that she used to be his fan and didn't want to stir up anything because she was a "good girl".
Since then, the grievances between the two have been drawn for nearly ten years.
She has been working hard to gain recognition, to prove herself worthy of applause and trophies, and to be a good girl.
She smiles, says sorry and thank you, and takes care of the feelings of those around her.
"I will exercise my right to vote, but I have no right to influence others," she said.
He also mocked himself at the right time, "I'm just a 22-year-old singer, no one wants to hear my political views, they prefer to hear my love story."
She went on a diet to manage her body, and even suffered from anorexia at one point.
"I don't do anything to get people to make irresponsible remarks."
From country to pop, she continues to push herself and succeed musically. She has sold nearly 200 million music worldwide, is the highest-paid female singer in the world, and has won 29 American Music Awards, 23 Billboard Music Awards, and 10 Grammys. She did charity; she wrote songs for Ronan; she contributed to the beginning of the era of paid music, and saved a large number of new musicians.
But haters gonna hate.
She's been accused of having frequent interactions with different men; being mocked for being hypocritical; and saying her slender figure reinforces female stereotypes.
The hostess asked her to show her legs in person and mocked her, "Not only will I hold a trophy tonight, but I will also bring many men home." She was embarrassed and forbear, and in the end she could only say "I won't bring anything tonight." The man goes home" is a tribute.
In 2016, Kanye wrote in the lyrics "I will sleep with Taylor, after all, I made that bitch famous", Taylor thought that he had been insulted, and Kardashian released a recording of a call between Kanye and Taylor, Prove that the lyrics have the permission of the other party.
The phone recording incident between Kanye and Kardashian was the biggest public relations crisis since Taylor's debut. Taylor could not prove that the recording released by Kardashian was forged, but Kanye failed to fulfill his promise to release the complete recording after all.
But the public thought she didn't really feel humiliated, but saw an opportunity to play the victim, and she was pretending to be ignorant to gain sympathy.
Suddenly she became a liar, and thousands of people swiped her tweets to mock her for being wicked, evil, and cunning.
She disappeared.
Then the sweetheart goes black and the queen returns.
She eats to maintain a healthy body rather than being slender, whether it's photogenic or not.
She supports feminism and stands on the side of sexual minorities, regardless of whether it will offend the "homophobic" and "misogynistic" groups.
She took a political stance, even if her career would be hit by the reduction of fans, and even her personal safety would be at risk.
Taylor sued the former radio DJ who harassed her, winning the case and receiving a dollar in damages.
In court, she was confronted with questions that victims of almost every sexual harassment case would face: "Why didn't you scream, why didn't you take immediate action to respond, why didn't you stand away from him."
She won the case with hard evidence, but it was not a happy one. Not only because the process of winning a case is difficult, but because it is so common and the process is inhumane. What if the victim's evidence is insufficient or there are no witnesses?
"Next time you have the opportunity to change something, you better know where you stand and what you plan to say," she said.
In the battle of the century between Trump and Hillary in 2016, although Taylor called on fans to vote and posted social network updates in front of the voting room, he did not reveal his political inclination after all. At the same time, Sister Fruit has put on a cape that reads "I'm with the female president", and generously showed her political stance.
The reason why Taylor is reluctant to disclose her political inclination is that on the one hand, it is the request of the company and the team, and she hopes that she will not repeat the mistakes of the "Southern Chicken". On the other hand, she once believed that being a good girl will be recognized by everyone, and Talking about political positions is bound to offend some people and lose their support and affection.
Until she experienced the sexual harassment lawsuit herself, in the 2018 midterm elections, in the face of opposition to equal pay for women, opposition to the reopening of the Anti-Violence Against Women Act, and the impending entry of a homosexual congresswoman into the Tennessee Senate, she Unable to stay silent. Even taking a political stance could result in the loss of half the audience, and the career could take a major hit.
It is a pity that Taylor's voice failed to change the results of the mid-term elections, but she did not lose heart and turned around and wrote "Only the young" to encourage young Americans to join politics and make their country a better place. Even if you don't understand the story behind the song, it's easy to appreciate the power contained in it.
"Before the next election, we will have three or four million people turning 18 in the next two years, don't lose hope, just keep at it and the time will come," she said.
After she deconstructed herself, she told everyone that loving pink and having a political attitude were not contradictory.
Most girls need to grow by realizing that "being a good girl everyone likes" is a false proposition. From this moment, self-evaluation has nothing to do with other people, no longer trying to please others, but accepting and pleasing yourself, doing what you really want to do.
"Whether he likes it or not, as long as I like it."
The Temple of Delphi is engraved with an inscription of Socrates, "Know thyself".
Who are you?
Taylor Swift, 13, said, "I'm a good girl.
Taylor Swift, 30, said, I am myself.
All in all, this documentary has political leanings and is a pot of chicken soup. But the chicken soup is not fresh or delicious, and the spectators will know their answer after drinking it.
