Taylor Swift Finds Her Voice and Dunks on Trump in New Netflix Doc: 'F*ck That'
Music snobs be damned, I adore this woman. I adore her for helping my daughter develop a love for music. And I adore her for helping my daughter discover her political voice. And her songs ain't that bad, either!
Taylor Swift Finds Her Voice and Dunks on Trump in New Netflix Doc: ‘F*ck That’
a pivotal moment in the new Netflix documentary, Miss Americana—and, it would turn out, a pivotal moment in the singer’s life and career—Taylor Swift’s mother and her publicist are running through all the possible, perhaps catastrophic repercussions to deciding for the first time to speak out publicly about politics.
Swift was about to publish an Instagram post urging Tennessee voters to vote for Democrat Phil Bredesen in the state’s close midterm election, railing against incumbent Republican Marsha Blackburn and her record of voting against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women ACT, against equal pay for women, and against gay rights.
“These are not MY Tennessee values,” Swift wrote in the post.
The three women are nervously slurping white wine and practically shaking as they discuss the final considerations before pressing send, the equivalent of pushing the nuclear button for a pop star who had strategically and steadfastly remained silent on politics. One of the last things Swift’s publicist warns her about is that Donald Trump could come after her.
“Fuck that,” Swift says, not missing a beat. “I don’t care.”
“I’m sad I didn’t say it two years ago.”
Miss Americana, which premiered to a standing ovation Thursday night at the Sundance Film Festival and will be available on Netflix Jan. 31.
