Taylor Swift‘s “Anti-Hero” music video appears to have been edited by at least one streaming service to remove a controversial scene.
The Apple Music version of the video for their 10th studio album Midnight, no longer contains a scene showing the word “fat” on a scale.
Swift wrote and directed the video, which she reportedly depicts Swift’s “nightmare scenarios and intrusive thoughts.” Instagram.
The now-deleted scene shows Swift in the bathroom weighing herself on a scale. Watching is Swift’s supposed inner critic, also played by the singer.
When the scale registers the word “Fat” instead of numbers, Swift is dejected and the other inner critic shakes her head in sympathy.
Apple Music is no longer on the word. That YouTube version of the music video still shows the controversial scene.
Swift has previously referenced her previous struggles with eating disorders and struggles with body image. But any controversy hasn’t slowed sales of the album, which now tops 1.2 million units in the US.
