Netflix

On Friday, Jan. 31, Netflix released a Taylor Swift's documentary called "Miss Americana."

The documentary was directed by Lana Wilson and is full of everything we needed to know more about Taylor Swift's life.

Not only do we get insight on her songwriting process, recording sessions, and home videos from when she was younger, we learned about her eating disorder, a deep dive into the Kanye West drama, and the depression caused by the public scrutiny she got just from being herself.

Taylor goes into detail about the drama with Kanye West starting way back in 2009 at the VMA's when she received the Moonman for Video of the Year and Kanye got on stage and said that Beyonce had one of the greatest videos of all time.

When this happened, we all kind of cringed at the moment and hated on Kanye for doing that to Taylor when she didn't do anything, but we didn't know about how much that hurt her and caused her a lot of self-doubt moving forward with her career.

Later on in the film, we learned a lot about how much Taylor was controlled and scolded before she posted an Instagram photo with a caption that expressed her political views.


The thought process and fight that Taylor went through to post, for the first time ever, this political statement was extremely thoughtful and had so much passion behind it.

Taylor talked about how she's always been told to be the "good girl" and don't get involved in politics or step in any hot water, but she decided on her own to go against what she was told and do what she felt was right to be on the "right side of history."

This documentary isn't just for Swifties, it's for everyone. As a Swiftie myself, this documentary really helped me understand the side of Taylor Swift that we don't get to see, but for those who aren't fans, you will get to understand the parts of Taylor that have caused you to dislike her.

A lot can be said for a celebrity who was brave enough to put their raw life and experiences in a video for the world to see in a different light.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
