Taylor Swift feels good about "not feeling muzzled anymore"

Narrating the trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary, 'Miss Americana', she said: "Throughout my whole career, label ex ecutives would just say, 'A nice girl doesn't force their opinions on people, a nice girl smiles and waves and says thank you.' I became the person that everyone wanted me to be. Nobody physically saw me for a year, and that was what I thought they wanted. I had to deconstruct an entire belief system. Toss it out and reject it. It woke me up from constantly feeling like I was fighting for people's respect. It was happiness without anyone else's input. I want to do this. I need to do to be on the right side of history. It feels f***ing awesome. I feel really good about not feeling muzzled anymore. And it was my own doing. There's nothing that feels better than this moment."

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old singer previously opened up about politics and how she felt people didn't want to her what she had to say when she was younger.

She said: "Every time I didn’t speak up about politics as a young person, I was applauded for it. It was wild. I said, 'I’m a 22-year-old girl - people don’t want to hear what I have to say about politics.' And people would just be like, 'Yeahhhhh!'"

Taylor's Netflix documentary 'Miss Americana' debuts on January 31.
