Need your Swiftie fix after The Eras Tour? Here's how to watch Taylor Swift's documentary
How and why a VPN can help you watch Taylor Swift's documentary, "Miss Americana"
If you're among the many, many lucky people (myself included!) who has gone to the Eras tour, you're likely feeling a little bit of Taylor Swift-based withdrawal. If you're someone who's waiting to go, you're likely trying to get your Taylor on in preparation for the big day.
While listening to playlists and curating your ideal Eras outfit on Pinterest is all well and good, you might be looking for something a little more personal. Enter "Miss Americana", Taylor Swift's 2020 documentary.
What is "Miss Americana"?
"Miss Americana" follows Swift across several years of her life and career, between the "Reputation" stadium tour (2018) and "Lover" (2019), as well as flashing back to her less recent past. It's an emotionally vulnerable film, where you see Taylor Swift reconcile with the fact that she's not only an entertainer, but an influential figure and cultural icon.
How can I watch "Miss Americana"?
"Miss Americana" is available on Netflix, however it is not available in every territory. If you're in one of the places it's available, then watching is simple – just log in to your account (or sign up for one) and get ready to stream.
