Premise
In the documentary, Taylor talks about her music, friends, family and her love for performing as she dreams of making it big in the Nashville country music scene. It especially expands on the narrative of “Taylor Swift, the 16-year-old singer-songwriter cought between high school and her music career.” The TV special features several interviews with Taylor, her mother Andrea, as well as her best friend Abigail. It also shows exclusive performances from Taylor herself. Probably the most well-known quote from Taylor Swift: A Place In This World is:
«My big dream is to look out into a crowd of thousands of people and have them singing the words to my songs. That to me would just be everything I’ve ever hoped for.»
