Miss Americana

A term for a woman who possesses an essence of independence and pride, and is usually someone who lives in America or engages in American culture. A woman who is called Miss Americana may embody the essence of Americana.

The most notable aesthetic of Americana is Coca-Cola memorabilia, white-picket fences, blue jeans, apple pie, rock and roll, politics, and small towns. Any other decade/era aesthetic fits.

The term Miss Americana was first used by American singer and songwriter Taylor Swift in the song Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince, a song that uses high school imagery to allegorize American politics. Miss Americana is also the title of the singer-songwriter’s 2020 documentary.
