Taylor Swift’s latest album, “Midnights,” is already breaking records, but not without coming under scrutiny. Earlier this week, fans noticed that the Grammy winner released another version of her “Anti-Hero” music video on Apple Music after the original clip drew some negative attention online.
The original “Anti-Hero” music video premiered last week on YouTube. In it, Swift finds company in a long-haired clone who warns, “Everyone will betray you.” In one scene, the singer steps onto a bathroom scale that registers the word “FAT” instead of a specific weight. In response, the singer’s clone shakes her head in disappointment.
“It is possible to appreciate Taylor Swift and midnight as an artist AND call her out on her blatant fatphobia,” one Twitter user wrote on Friday. “Taylor Swift should have done better because even if it is relatable and an ‘intrusive thought’ it is damaging and fatphobic.”
