Taylor Swift quietly removes controversial scale scene from 'Anti-Hero' music video on Apple Music
, Swift steps on the dreaded scale only for it to lob the word “FAT” back at her. While it’s a passing moment in the music video, the message remains pretty clear: For thin people like Swift
, being considered fat is terrifying, and a damning thing in a society that still lauds thinness as a marker of beauty.It’s meant to serve as a moment to reflect on Swift’s own struggle with her own body over the years—but it’s neither nuanced nor touched on again in the music video. Furthermore, there’s nothing poetic or powerful about a thin, beautiful woman , stepping on a scale only for it to say “fat.
If anything, the polarizing response to the scene displays the connection between eating disorders and society’s view of anyone who’s overweight. Widespread disordered eating is a product of a culture that praises thinness and prioritizes its status over health at times, and the message as seen in “Anti-Hero” only reiterates this standard, and does nothing to challenge or dismantle it.
