The pop star’s life and legacy to be profiled in new series
The UK’s Channel 4 is set to explore the unprecedented global impact of Taylor Swift in a new two-part documentary series from Sandpaper Films, titled Taylor (working title).
This dynamic series will delve into Swift’s remarkable 20-year career, chronicling her transformation from a pop star to an unparalleled cultural icon. Through exclusive interviews with high-profile commentators, industry insiders, and dedicated fans, the documentary will reveal the pivotal moments and forces that shaped her journey. Viewers will gain fresh insights into Swift’s story with rare archival footage, charting her evolution from an ambitious teenager to one of the most influential and scrutinized figures of our time.
The series is directed by Guy King (The Fall, Bombing Brighton, Our Falklands War), produced by Jessica Brady, and features Lina Caicedo as archive producer. Susannah Price and Henry Singer from Sandpaper Films serve as executive producers, with BAFTA-winning editor Martin Thompson. Blue Ant will manage international sales.
“Taylor Swift is an unprecedentedly powerful 21st Century voice for women and young people. Under the microscope of social media since the earliest days of MySpace and Tumblr, she came of age during a new feminist wave. With her fame came controversy, which she so skillfully wrestled to the floor. We’re excited to tell her story,” shares director Guy King.
No release date was given as of press time.
