"But the way that Lana tells the story, it really makes sense," she added. "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.

If I was given a punishment, I registered that as bad.
The superstar went on to recall a pivotal moment in her battle with self-image she experienced more than a decade ago. "I remember how, when I was 18, that was the first time I was on the cover of a magazine," she explained. "And the headline was like 'Pregnant at 18?' And it was because I had worn something that made my lower stomach look not flat. So I just registered that as a punishment. And then I'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.
According to a press release, Swift's documentary is a "raw and emotionally revealing look" at the singer "during a transformational period in her life as she learns to embrace her role not only as a songwriter and performer, but as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice.
