Greta video! I have come to share my thoughts on the things you asked to! I am a hockey fan and my friends and I always call the new guys just drafted into the league who are like teenagers “baby hockeys”. So when I heard that what I thought of was all the baby pop stars that are popular right now and that Taylor is up against at award shows and stuff. They’re the sexy new thing. And she’s in her 30s and they grew up knowing her name. So maybe she feels too big to hang out anymore. Like she doesn’t fit in as well as she used to. As for the scale scene, the way I took it when I first saw it was as exactly what you said when talking about your eating disorder. She said this song and video are about the things that go on in her head. Her intrusive thoughts and self loathing. And she spoke in miss Americana about how she has to not look at pictures of herself too much because she’ll start to starve herself. And I saw it as a depiction of that little self loathing part of her brain. But like you said, if fat people are saying it hurt them we should listen to that. And I believe she did remove the shot with word fat on the scale on platforms where she could after seeing that feedback. I hope all of that makes sense!

Loved this! I would love to see you do an in-depth reaction to Question...? As a queer Swiftie I need more content on it.

And thank you for addressing the *discourse* so thoughtfully. I will say that many friends of mine who have struggled with EDs who are major Swifties felt really seen and understood by that part. Though my intention in sharing that is certainly not to invalidate other reactions and responses- just to share how it was helpful and healing for some, if not others.

Alex Ray

Yes, we GOTTA do this - I hated to say too much cause I was on Blake's channel but I need to chat about it

Alex Ray

totally makes sense - like at the end of the day, how SHE feels is valid, but I'm glad she's listening to the feedback. I just wish everyone would understand her intention behind it in the first place - like let's correct and move on but also acknowledge "fat" being a bad word inherently comes from a place of disordered eating.

Cat M

I second this! I’m also a queer swiftie and would love to see that!

Alex Ray

Oh yeah people were mad mad about it… but your right on, it’s introspective and even the most beautiful people feel that self loathing and eating disorders tell you terrible Fucking things. Also aside - I hope you’re good mentally and this is a safe place to talk recovery 💕💕 proud of you

Alex Ray

Queer swifties omg I’ve found my people 😭

Annie

my comment is gone?! That's so odd. Thanks dude. Proud of everyone doing the work for themselves. Lets get itttt.

Loved seeing your reaction…. I’ve been looking for a spot online that felt safe to comment on the “discourse”… So….Fat person here🙋🏼‍♀️… I do not agree with much of the commentary about fatphobia. It might be worth noting that I’m also a health communication scientist and professor so I have kinda an academic view on this. First-person narrative is super important in inspiring behavior change and context is super important to messaging. The context of the song is all about self-deprecation. She knows her body dysmorphia is wrong…she’s got the self-awareness which makes it all the more sad for her. The scale showing she is “fat” when physical evidence shows the polar opposite is a great example of how her evil twin/fucked up subconscious has such power over her perceptions at times. Hence, disordered eating, etc. Her being open and vulnerable about all of this is actually a great thing. It likely resonates with a lot of other people with ED and body dysmorphia. To me, a thin person discussing their body dysmorphia is as “phobic” as a fat person doing so….meaning, it isn’t. Taylor’s message in this video is that body dysmorphia is wrong…not that being fat is wrong…and that social/professional pressures (which are actually the fatphobic components at play here) caused her — someone who is not fat by any metric — to feel bad about herself. That is a powerful statement about the fucked up social standards we deal with daily. Misogyny doesn’t just affect fat people…it’s a problem for everyone. I read that Taylor edited the video out of respect for people who felt hurt which is a very kind thing to do. A message is only successful if people understand what you intend them to…so, since it missed many people, maybe it was best she do the edit. I just know i have experienced plenty of fatphobia in my life and I study words for a living and this didn’t even register.

I had to wait till I was on my laptop to reply to this :) First of all, totally safe here (and on any of my pages) to discuss all things mental health, ED recovery, society's shitty beauty standards, etc. I personally agree with everything you said. The music video was her narrative and her experience. And Hollywood's standards of "fat" are not rational, and she totally knows that. And yes, she's edited the scene out of the video - I watched the scene after I knew about the backlash, but I can't imagine I would have even thought about it had I seen the video before knowing anything about the fat phobia accusations. Personally (and selfishly) it scares me a bit that people were so angry about this, because even privileged people should be allowed to share their ED recovery and triggers and cope with them. Makes me sad for her. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtful response!

Omg is this finally the Queer swiftie space I've been looking for?! I would love to discuss Question... ? with all of you!
