Taylor Swift Talks Eating Disorders, Perfectionism In Netflix Documentary
Taylor Swift has been promoting her new documentary Miss Americana. TV Shows Ace reported that the singer is giving fans a glimpse into her personal life. She previously let it slip that she’s been working on a documentary for the past two years. Taylor made the announcement amid her dispute with Big Machine Label Group owner Scott Borchetta and music manager Scooter Braun. The two groups have been releasing statements to the media over the fight of her music catalogue.
But now she’s focusing on stuff that matters. Taylor Swift addresses her eating disorder in her new documentary. It’s clear that whenever she writes songs, people listen. It’s likely that millions of girls will listen to her struggles with an eating disorder. Taylor also addresses her perfectionism.
Singer talks about eating disorder in new documentary
According to her interview with Variety, Taylor Swift talks about the negative body image issues she’s struggled with. She revealed that some of the negative comments about her body led her to disordered eating. Swift will address her eating disorder on her Netflix documentary Miss Americana, which will drop on Jan. 31.
“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 as good,” Swift said. “If I was given a punishment, I registered that as bad.”

Swift recalled the first time she appeared on the cover of a tabloid. She was only 18 years old when she saw the headline: “Pregnant at 18?” Swift saw that as negative and tried to make herself as small as possible. She was at her thinnest at the height of her 1989 album era, the same time when she was photographed with her supermodel squad.
According to Healthline, eating disorders aren’t just common among thin women. You don’t even have to be thin to have an eating disorder or disordered eating. Eating disorders affect all kinds of genders, races, and sizes. It affects men just as much as it affects women. The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) reported that 30 million Americans have suffered from an eating disorder at one point during their lives. But when a big celebrity like Swift brings body shaming, eating disorders, and self-image issues to the forefront, it can give others the message that they can overcome it.
Taylor Swift still struggles with perfectionism
As The Irish Times reports, Swift doesn’t just recover from an eating disorder. She also recovers from perfectionism. The singer is always expected to look perfect. Just look at some of her paparazzi shots and you’ll see the singer wearing her signature red lipstick, straight blonde hair, and trend-worthy outfit. Swift became a perfectionist as a result.

In her struggle with perfection, she assumed it was normal to pass out on stage from extreme hunger. Swift’s battle with her eating disorder and perfectionism is a lifelong battle. So, she’s made some changes in her life. She now lives a quiet life in London with boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
She cut most of her supermodel friends out of her life. Swift no longer does paparazzi shoots. Instead, she is raw, real, and candid, as seen on Miss Americana. Fans rarely see this side of her. But there are moments when she becomes Taylor Swift the superstar rather than Taylor Swift the person.
Did Taylor Swift get engaged?
Rumors have been swirling that Swift got engaged. Her seventh album, Lover, is all about him. On the track “Paper Rings,” she drops hints about walking down the aisle. On the album’s title track, she croons the verse, “I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.”
Now a photo of Swift has fans wondering if she is engaged, as reported by Yahoo! Lifestyle. In one scene, Swift is wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on that finger. During the scene, Swift gets emotional while talking about Republican Senator-elect Marsha Blackburn, who is from Swift’s home state of Tennessee. She tells her mom, Andrea, and her father, Scott, and the rest of her team: “I want to be on the right side of history.” That’s where fans noticed the ring on Swift’s finger.
