Taylor Swift is getting candid about her struggle overcoming an eating disorder.
in Park City, Utah, on Thursday, and fans got to see a different, more vulnerable side to Swift than they've ever seen before.
In the film, Swift explains,"It’s not good for me to see pictures of myself every day." She says that sometimes a photo of herself -- or a thoughtless comment in the press claiming she"looked pregnant" would"just trigger me to just starve a little bit [and] just stop eating.”, Swift admitted,"I didn’t know if I was going to feel comfortable with talking about body image and talking about the stuff I’ve gone through in terms of how unhealthy that’s been for me.
"I’m not as articulate as I should be about this topic because there are so many people who could talk about it in a better way. But all I know is my own experience," Swift explained."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.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Swift recalls how she'd"walk into a photo shoot and be in the dressing room and somebody who worked at a magazine would say, ‘Oh, wow, this is so amazing that you can fit into the sample sizes. Usually we have to make alterations to the dresses.'"
