Taylor Swiftcontinues to be open and vulnerable for her craft.
This week, the singer-songwriter released amusic video for her song “Anti-Hero"from hernew albumMidnights.
In theInstagram post accompanying the release of the video, Swift explained the video is a representation of her “nightmare scenarios and intrusive thoughts” playing out in real-time.
But after releasing the video, some viewers found one of the video’s scenes triggering. In the scene, Swift’s ‘anti-hero’ shakes her head when the singer gets on a scale and it shows “FAT,” seemingly illustrating her inner critic and how hard she is to ignore. Some viewers misinterpreted the scene to be fat-shaming in nature.
On Wednesday, observant fans noticed that the version of the video on Apple Music no longer featured the scene with the scale. TheYouTube versionstill includes the scene.
In avideo posted on Instagramon October 2, Swift gave her fans a peek at the meaning behind “Anti-Hero.”
“Anti-Hero” is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,“she revealed. “I don’t think I’ve delved this far into my insecurities in this detail before.”
She opened up further: “This song is a real guided tour throughout all the things I tend to hate about myself… I like “Anti-Hero” a lot because I think it’s really honest.”
