Taylor Swift Opens up About<br />Her Struggle With Body Positivity .<br />Swift recently talked <br />about approaching her <br />30th birthday and how she’s<br />had to learn to love her body. .<br />She described her 20s as a process similar to<br />trying on a bunch of costumes before finally<br />being able to walk in a regular outfit. .<br />According to Swift, part of<br />that journey was coming to<br />terms with the “toxic messages” <br />being sent by society.<br />One thing going into my 30s that I'm really<br />stoked about is like I now can really recognize<br />and diagnose, like, toxic messages being sent<br />to me by society, by culture about, like, my body<br />… I’m a woman. I'm not a coat hanger, Taylor Swift, to 'British Vogue'.<br />Swift learned not to use her body as an <br />“exercise of control” when life becomes too hectic <br />but instead focuses on feeling “healthy in life.”.<br />I need to feel healthy in my life and I need<br />to take pleasure in food and I need to not<br />use my body as like an exercise of control<br />when I feel out of control in my life, Taylor Swift, to 'British Vogue'.<br />As she described in an article for ‘Elle’ earlier<br />this year, Swift has spent a lot of time working<br />to “[accept her] body every day.”.<br />I learned to stop hating every ounce of fat on<br />my body. I worked hard to retrain my brain that<br />a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair,<br />and more energy … There is no quick fix. I work<br />on accepting my body every day, Taylor Swift, to 'Elle'
