Then again, you already knew the screening of the much-awaited Taylor Swift documentary was going to be a special event from the spontaneous choirs of Swift lyrics which had been erupting from the ticket line.

The music documentary, as a genre, never went away. But in the past few years, we have seen a resurgence with major plans for the future.
