Taylor Swift and the political needle

<p>The music video for Taylor Swift's Midnights'&nbsp;lead single 'Anti-Hero'&nbsp;has been edited to omit a sequence in which she steps on a bathroom scale that reads 'fat.'<br />
<br />
After facing flak online, Taylor Swift removed the 'fat'&nbsp;sequence from the song. According to Variety, Swift's anti-hero clone no longer looks at her with a disappointed expression in the song video on Apple Music.<br />
<br />
However, the scale still reads 'fat'&nbsp;in the song video on YouTube.As per Variety, speculation about the reasoning behind the removal of those frames stems from internet debate about the scene, which has subsequently been characterized as 'anti-fat'&nbsp;by some due to the suggestion that being fat is a bad thing.</p>

Swift has previously spoken about her struggles with an eating disorder, most notably in her 2020 Netflix documentary `Miss Americana.` Swift said in the film that she had seen "a picture of myself where I felt like my tummy was too big, or... someone commented that I looked pregnant... and it`ll just prompt me to just starve a little bit -- just stop eating" ("It`s only happened a few times, and I`m not in any way proud of it").<br />
<br />
The other songs that Swift has so far unveiled are `Mastermind,` `Maroon,` `Midnight Rain,` `Question,` and `Vigilante Shit` (closing track 13).

Sarah Paulson is a 'major' swiftie, reveals her favourite Taylor Swift song

<p>Taylor Swift emotional song 'Ranon' will be one of the 30's songs that will be included on her upcoming album 'Red' (Taylor’s Version).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The song is about a four-year-old boy’s fatal battle with cancer. Swift took permission from Ronan Thompson's mother Maya Thompson, to include the emotional song on her remastered album.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Maya revealed that Swift had emailed her and asked for her permission to include the single. Taylor originally released the song in the year 2012 and performed the song for 'Stand Up to Cancer telethon.'<br />
<br />
“She is and will always be one of the things I hold dearest to my heart, and her beautiful words will remain private,” Maya said.<br />
<br />
In part of the email, Swift wrote, “I’ve recently completed the re-recording of my 4th album, Red. It’s really exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and one of those ways is that I thought it would be appropriate to add ‘Ronan’ to this album. Red was an album of heartbreak and healing, of rage and rawness, of tragedy and trauma, and of the loss of an imagined future alongside someone. I wrote ‘Ronan’ while I was making Red and discovered your story as you so honestly and devastatingly told it. My genuine hope is that you’ll agree with me that this song should be included on this album. As my co-writer and the rightful owner of this story in its entirety, your opinion and approval of this idea really matters to me, and I’ll honour your wishes here.”<br />
<br />
''Tears sprang to my eyes," Maya recalled. "It took me an hour to absorb the words in front of me. I cried while sharing the news."<br />
<br />
In the blog, Maya then addressed her son, “Taylor has anchored you to this world so you will never be lost, and now she has ensured you will forever be safe in a new, permanent home. She is once again giving a voice to the often voiceless, bereaved parents of the world as well as childhood cancer which deserves so much more funding than it gets.”<br />
<br />
A month back, Swift announced her 2012 album 'Red' will be her next re-recorded album. Swift took her Twitter and announced that the re-recorded version of the album is set to release on Nov. 19 and will feature all 30 songs that were originally meant to go on her fourth studio album.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“I’ve always said that the world is a different place for the heartbroken. It moves on a different axis, at a different speed. Time skips backwards and forwards fleetingly. The heartbroken might go through thousands of micro-emotions a day trying to figure out how to get through it without picking up the phone to hear that old familiar voice. In the land of heartbreak, moments of strength, independence, and devil-may-care rebellion are intricately woven together with grief, paralyzing vulnerability and hopelessness. Imagining your future might always take you on a detour back to the past. And this is all to say, that the next album I’ll be releasing is my version of Red,” she wrote in a statement.</p>
