Taylor Swift's opened up about body-image issues
In an interview with Variety, the now 33-year-old talked about her struggles with an eating disorder. She acknowledged the difficulty she faced in discussing this matter for the documentary.

She revealed her psychology with food, saying, "And my relationship with food was exactly the same psychology that I applied to everything else in my life: If I was given a pat on the head, I registered that as good. If I was given a punishment, I registered that as bad." The Anti-hero singer remembered the time when she found herself on the cover of the magazine as a then-18-year-old, and the headline read 'Pregnant at 18?' she admitted to taking it "as a punishment." In contrast, the singer was praised for being able to fit into sample size cloths during a photoshoot, which she took as "pat on the head."
The Better than Revenge singer revealed, "I think I’ve never really wanted to talk about that before, and I’m pretty uncomfortable talking about it now. But in the context of every other thing that I was doing or not doing in my life, I think it makes sense."

She revealed some instances that would trigger her. She continued, "a picture of me where I feel like I looked like my tummy was too big, or… someone said that I looked pregnant … and that’ll just trigger me to just starve a little bit, just stop eating."
