The authors concluded after analyzing 200 posts and 8,300 thousand comments related to the singer on the TikTok platform and the Reddit forum. The researcher identified the biggest theme: Fans see Swift as a role model for eating disorder treatment and use Swift’s story and music to inspire their recovery.

According to Everyday Health , several of Swift’s songs address weight pressure.

In the documentary Miss Americana (2020), the singer said she starved herself after seeing her belly bulge in a photo or someone said she looked pregnant. In the work, the photos show that Swift was thinner when she released the album 1989 (2014), compared to her healthy appearance at the time of holding the album promotion show Reputation in 2018. Swift said she did not eat enough quality food. in the past seriously affected her endurance while touring.
On Social Science & Medicine , experts say this issue raises questions about body standards that may be influenced by celebrities. The artist’s candor and transparency help reduce stigma against people with eating disorders. “This is important because other studies have shown that shame can make victims reluctant to seek help, negatively impacting their health,” the study’s authors said.
