Taylor Swift embraced ‘real body’ after avoiding the one thing that triggers her

Old pictures of Taylor Swift dispel any plastic surgery rumors

Any Swiftie will know that Taylor Swift has not gone under the knife. But for those still unsure, one look at pictures of Taylor at the start of her career show that she’s still got the same natural look as she did nearly 20 years ago.

As pictured above, in 2006, the main physical difference between Taylor then and Taylor now is her curly hair. At the start of Taylor Swift’s music career, the singer had curly blonde tresses. Over the years, she has opted for a more sleek style, choosing to relax her curls.

Allegations that Taylor has had a nose job and lip fillers remain a constant talking point for the doubters.

Taylor has not addressed speculations surrounding her looks so any suggestion that she has cosmetic work done is completely opinion based. However, HITC and GRV Media reached out to her representative for comment.

Taylor Swift has been open about her struggles with her body

In her Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, Taylor revealed the battles she has undergone with her mental health. In the documentary, she reveals that growing up in the limelight and putting intense pressure on herself led the singer to develop an eating disorder.

“It’s not good for me to see pictures of myself every day, because I have a tendency to… get triggered,” Taylor expresses in the movie.

“I’m a lot happier with who I am,” Taylor continues. “I don’t care as much if somebody points out that I have gained weight. It’s just something that makes my life better. The fact that I’m a size six instead of a size double zero. That wasn’t how my body was supposed to be, I just didn’t really understand that at the time.”

‘There’s always some standard of beauty you’re not meeting’

One of the candid thoughts Taylor expresses in the documentary is that “there’s always some standard of beauty you’re not meeting.” In this scene, Taylor is talking about beauty standards in regard to weight and body type. However, it is equally applicable to physical features such as one’s lips, eyes, or nose.

This message resonates with her fans who, in an increasingly critical social media landscape, are hoping for some refreshing honesty.
