Taylor has also been outspoken over stressful beauty standards that women face. In her 2020 Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, the “Love Story” singer described dealing with the pressure in one scene.
“I don’t think you know you’re doing that when you’re doing it gradually,” she said in the moment. “There’s always some standard of beauty that you’re not meeting. Because if you’re thin enough, then you don’t have that ass that everybody wants, but if you have enough weight on you to have an ass, then your stomach isn’t flat enough.”
Even though Taylor eventually found a way to focus on her self-perception, she still noted in the film that the body image expectations are “f–king impossible.”
She also revealed her previous struggle with eating habits whenever she noticed an online image of herself that she didn’t like.
“I tend to get triggered by something, whether it’s a picture of me where I feel like my tummy looked too big, or someone said that I looked pregnant or something,” she added. “And that will trigger me to just starve a little bit, just stop eating.”
