Filmmaker Lana Wilson opens up about connecting with the pop star and names her favorite Swift track.
Thats quite a takeaway from a doc about one of the biggest pop stars of all time.
I am also a female artist working in a male-dominated industry, Wilson says.

So I thought as weird as it seems!
there might be some experiences that we share even though were in extremely different worlds.
It turns out there were, and the pair hit it off immediately, bonding in particular over documentaries.
[Swift] mentioned she doesnt like documentaries that feel like propaganda, and I was like, Great!
Is this going to be superficial?
And I wanted to make something that was really deep and subtle and emotionally powerful.
You never did that to me.
I really want to thank you for that.
I was really interested in capturing Taylors inner life, in bringing people inside.
She can be her own toughest critic sometimes.
Be complicated and deep and make it an experience that was profound and emotional rather that fluffy and superficial.
It has that specificity, you know?
I hope that people find moments in the film that are like that for them.
