Taylor Swift’s Journey to Fearless
For my extra credit opportunity I watched the documentary Taylor Swift’s Journey to Fearless. I am going to summarize what the film is about, how popstar Taylor Swift was changed and developed since the film was released, and critique the producers of the documentary. Taylor Swift’s Journey to Fearless was released in 2010 by Hasbro Studios. By the time the movie was released, Swift had just finished her world tour Fearless.

The article discusses the significance of Swift not really participating in the ACMs in 2013. This is interesting because Swift was considered the most-popular artist in all of music during this time. To add to the irony, Swift had taken home Entertainer of the Year for the past two years at the ACMs. The article then discusses the success of Swift’s new “pop” songs. It seemed as though each album she released was becoming more and more like pop music rather than country. In fact, within some of Swift’s latest albums, her biggest hit singles were all pop instead country music. Within another article called, “The problem with Taylor Swift’s new song: it’s perfect” the writer details the fact that one of Swift’s new singles, “Shake it Off” is Swift making it clear that country is the old …show more content…

    Portraying black women as Jezebel’s by nature is a long -lasting stereotype. The jezebel stereotype is one that has been used to put down African American women since the beginning of slavery.
