A University of Vermont study has attributed Taylor Swift to inspiring young fans through her body positivity talks. Lizzy Pope, a registered dietitian and an associate professor at UVM, said in a press statement, "Our findings suggest that fans who felt highly connected to Swift were influenced to positively change their behaviors or attitudes around eating or their body image because of Swift’s disclosures and messages in her music."

Swift addressed the issue of eating disorders and body image in the 'Miss Americana' documentary, saying, "If you’re thin enough, then you don’t have that a** … everybody wants. But if you have enough weight … to have a**, your stomach isn’t flat enough. It’s all just f**king impossible."
