Taylor Swift's new Netflix documentary Miss Americana is due to arrive on the streaming platform later this month.

Miss Americana will be premiering at Sundance Film Festival on 23 January, and will arrive on Netflix soon after, on 31 January.

Swift's forthcoming documentary was originally mentioned by Swift when she posted a statement regarding the Big Machine label bosses and their attempts to deny her from performing or using old songs for new projects or shows.

She wrote, "Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film."

Big Machine Records' denied Swift's claims soon after, writing, "At no point did we say Taylor could not perform on the AMAs or block her Netflix special. In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere. Since Taylor’s decision to leave Big Machine last fall, we have continued to honor all of her requests to license her catalog to third parties as she promotes her current record in which we do not financially participate."

Last month, Netflix posted a still from Swift's new documentary, and revealed it's directed by Lana Wilson. The synopsis reads: "A raw and emotionally revealing look at one of the most iconic artists of our time as she learns to embrace her role not only as a songwriter and performer, but as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice."

Taylor Swift's Miss Americana documentary lands on Netflix on 31 January. She headlines Glastonbury Festival later this year. Find out more.
