Review: Taylor Swift ‘Miss Americana’ documentary

aussierod

It was 2009 when a pretty girl in a music video I’d never seen before caught my attention. ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift 2009 I’ve never been fan enough to buy (or pirate) any of her songs, and I don’t listen to the radio much thus never hear her new material. While trawling Putlocker (in-between all the horror crap) looking for something healthy to watch, a new doco called ‘Miss Americana’ came up.

(actors real name Karl Pilkington) that can’t move on from a prior love.
