Here are some photos of Taylor Swift at the Victoria’s Secret show in London this week. When I covered some of these Swifty photos earlier this week, I noticed (but didn’t say anything) that she seemed especially small in the pics. Swifty has always been a long, lean girl – she’s all arms and legs, and she really does have a model-type figure. But in these photos… yeah, she looks like she’s lost some weight. Considering she’s been on the promotional trail to shill her album, one theory might be that she’s simply under a lot of stress, plus she’s really busy, thus she’s lost some weight. Another theory might be this Star Mag story. “Sources” claim that Swifty has actually been trying to slim down to a “sub-zero”.
Taylor Swift’s startlingly thin figure has New Yorker doing double takes!
“Taylor has always had the appetite of a sparrow, but ever since she moved to New York she’s become fixated on her body image. She used to be a size zero, but she’s dropped down to a sub-zero. Her frame looks so fragile these days… it’s to the point where thigh is hardly thicker than her calf muscle.”
Factors contributing to 24-year-old Taylor’s increasingly skeletal physique are numerous – from the bad influences in her social circle to her own dangerous mind-set – but it doesn’t seem like anyone in her inner circle cares to confront her about it.
It’s all about the image: “Taylor’s terrified of looking fat in a picture, so her way of dealing with that is to be underweight… but the really worrying thing is how much emphasis she puts on food. She’s always talking about her baking and stocking her pantry with fresh muffins and bagels, but she never eats a bite of it. It’s all for her guests – so can give the image of someone who eats a lot.”
What she lives on: Coffee and salads. “She’ll add protein here and there, or have a piece of toast, but she rarely eats a proper meal. Some people are worried that she may even become anorexic.”
Workouts: “Taylor has convinced herself she’s building muscle because she’s using weights, but she’s not eating enough to actuall put on muscle. If anything, her workouts are burning away muscle.”
Supermodel friends: “Taylor sees her supermodel friends as the standard of beauty and wants to live up to that.”
Party girl: “Taylor has turned into the ultimate party girl. She regularly hosts wine nights at her house where she and her girlfriends will stay up until 6 am drinking and gossiping.”

Judging from the photos of Swifty leaving her NYC gym, I’ve never really thought she was breaking a sweat with her workouts anyway. I think she just goes to the gym for the photo-op, because she wants to be seen as a cool, normal New York girl who goes to the gym. As for the “living on salads and coffee” thing… could be. It could be that all of the cookie-baking is all for show. I don’t know though. My instinct is to defend her, mostly because I think she’s always had and always will have that long and lean body type, and she has been stressed lately. Cut her some slack!
