I think heroin-chic levels of skinny might be coming back, seems like lately I see it a lot online. I was hoping with the Y2k/90's/low rise trends returning, that part wouldn't return and we were finally done with body types being trends. But it's looking that way.
Every time women make any gains or get any power, extreme thinness comes into vogue. Gotta keep 'em starving so they don't have any energy to make change.
The clothes from that time kinda demand that figure. I love the style, but it was only a matter of time that when we chose to show bellies again and have such a fitness/ self-improvement culture. Such a pity. I still think we have a more diverse view on body types nowadays, but when I read this post my hope died a little :/
I've been seeing a lot of medium/chubby/fat girls showing their bellies and I'm so here for it. We couldn't do that in the 90s without being roasted to death.
If skinny is one the rise again, I hope it's more of a two steps forward, one step back kinda thing. Progress is slow
Its the filters that make anyone appear skinnier than they are, so the beauty standard isn't even a real body, even on small pages like unpopular instagram posters.
Done with body types being trends? My friend, that has always occurred as long as there is human civilization, and it will probably continue until civilization becomes unrecognizable to the modern person.
For sure it has, it's just pretty common knowledge now that with social media and especially since tiktok as well as fast fashion, fashion trends cycle so insanely rapidly that the whole trend cycling thing functions a lot different than it ever has in the past before. Days instead of weeks on micro trends, and months instead of years on others. Most people don't bother keeping up with that anymore and just wear the look they like. So, wishful thinking I guess with body types following suit.
Your normal doctor is probably where I would start. A physical therapist is who would work with you on it. You possibly could start with a physical therapist too.
But her tummy is completely flat. The only reason it's even bowing like that is her posture, that's it. Her hips are tilted. Maybe she's standing that way or maybe she has issues with a pelvic tilt, either way you can't starve your way out of standing wonky.
also, even the thinnest women have tummies. female bodies fluctuate so much throughout the month, its different for everyone on how long and when, but typically before/on your period there's a week out of the month where you're super bloated and no amount of starving will solve it.
You're 100% right that she is not "fat." I believe this tummy shape is due to weak abdominal muscles and specifically a weak pelvic floor. There are women with a higher body fat percentage than Taylor, who have strong cores and strong pelvic muscles, yet appear more physically flattering than her.
If that's fay, I'm a planet. Heck, if that's fat, most people are morbidly obese. I think this commenter needs to get out of Mommy's basement once in a while, go touch some grass, and see what real people look like.
She’s very skinny with a flat stomach, she just has a slight anterior pelvic tilt, where you overarch your lower back and your pelvis gets tilted forward.
Being in high heels can wreck your back, not to mention the hours long shows she does in heels. There’s just no winning for her.
For real. And honestly when you’re her age you’re weight just sits differently on your body, and that’s one of the most common spots it “sits” more than when you’re 24. Even if you’re skinny.
She's also probably the most fit she's ever been in her life right now too! She's been doing these 3+ hour shows three times a week for over a year. Taylor Swift is an athlete!
To be honest, her dancing is not strenuous. Not to the level it builds muscle. Some performers go on tour and you can see muscle tone emerge. Taylor kind of lopes when she runs and then catwalks slowly. She lip syncs a lot so even her diaphragm isn’t getting pushed hard. Not a hater just being real.
They intentionally egging her on. No one actually thinks like this and has good intentions. It's a personal attack to make a woman feel less than again.
Taylor is about 5’11” and seems to have maintained a bmi just a tick over underweight to me. I doubt she weighs much more than 140lbs, which is very light for her height.
Why should any other person struggle to change his ir her looks, just because I don't want him or her to not disturb my stereotypes or expectations?
Everybody can have preferences. But expecting others to change so that individual spectators don't have to in such non-relevant topics like 'body types' is really self centrism deluxe.
she's as fit, right now, as an Olympic athlete or gymnast and she's doing multi-hour shows, one after the other, and to make it worse she's totally irreplaceable on-stage (in a way a drummer or even singer potentially is) and there are tens of thousands of jobs relying on her keeping up an athletic performance that's perfect every time.
I kinda wish there was or hope there is a genuine behind the scenes documentary with footage that gets sequestered for 6-8 years, showing all the details of how they're handling her physio, nutrition and physical health... there also absolutely have to be at least 2-3 professionals keeping her inner circle mentally healthy and free of stress fractures. As self-contained, travelling universe that's at the core of a decabillion dollar mini industry it is an absolutely fascinating subject that we'll probably never get an intimate look at.
Truly. She's at MOST a US size 6, which is tiny at 5'11. Probably had a pizza before her show. Let the woman enjoy her sodium and carbs. She's still hotter than most people. How dare she look like a human.

She is still sooooo skinny. That’s crazy anyone looks at that woman and thinks she’s fat in any form.
