Miss Americana Autopsy: Taylor Swift's Body Image, Politics, and Fame

This week on Evolution of a Snake, we’re reopening Miss Americana and giving it the forensic rewatch it deserves before the End of an Era docuseries arrives to rewrite the narrative all over again. We dig into Lana Wilson’s direction, Taylor’s unusually heavy involvement in shaping the film, and the emotional architecture behind its most revealing moments—her struggles with body image and disordered eating, her anxieties about ageing and motherhood in a pop-star machine that demands perpetual youth, and the shaky, newly forming political voice she lets us witness in real time. Five years later, the documentary feels even more confessional and strangely prophetic; it tells us exactly who she was becoming long before the rest of the world caught up.
