I'm not a Taylor fan, but after watching this documentary, I fell in love with this woman. This is a story about a girl growing up. In her, I saw myself, and I didn't dare to express my opinion, take a stand, or do something out of line, because I was afraid of being hated.
Unlike Taylor, I am not a child star, I have never experienced childhood fame, and so far I have not found a career that I love all my life. In contrast, Taylor is lucky, her talent and love for music since childhood helped her shine in the music world. But she is also difficult. As a child star, growing up under the attention of everyone, the expectations and pressures on her shoulders are very understandable. Fortunately, her talent and diligence made her career develop smoothly. She abides by a life principle - to be a good girl to please, that is, to "please." The pleasing personality is mostly caused by the lack of unconditional love in childhood, "to be obedient, to get good grades, to..." Parents will ask their children to do what they should do, so that they will love their children. This "should" is determined by the parents, not the child's "should". Fortunately, as they get older, the child eventually realizes that I don't "should", I want "I want." And Taylor also realized that no matter how hard she tried, some people would hate her, it had nothing to do with her perfection, because others' evaluation of her depended more on what they wanted to see and hear, not her.
After experiencing the 2016 Internet-wide black incident, Taylor no longer lives in the evaluations of others, no longer feels like fainting every time he performs because of his thinness in order to meet the aesthetic requirements of the public, Participate in political topics” instead of choosing one’s own position, and no longer being drowned out by the crowd’s evaluation. She chose to speak out against Trump, she chose to support the LGBT community, she chose to speak up for women who were sexually assaulted... She started to shine and really became a star.
In the film, the 17-year-old Taylor was robbed of the microphone by his former idol Kanye on the podium of the Music Video Awards, saying that the award should be awarded to someone else. The audience booed Kanye, but Taylor thought he was booing himself. Looking at Taylor's expression, I remembered all the scenes that I embarrassed, and suddenly my nose became sore. Although those moments have been forgotten by others, and I will eventually laugh it off, but the little girl who has been tossing and turning, I want to hug you and tell you: you do not need the blessings of others, your existence is a gift from God.
