If Taylor Swift Is Considered ‘Fat,’ WELP, That’s The End Of Body Positivity

Gaining weight does not equal being fat.

After her 1989 World Tour concluded, Taylor Swift went into a brief hiatus from pretty much everything. No new music, no new candids, no nothing. We pretty much very rarely saw Taylor for the time she was gone.

At the beginning of May, Taylor started her reputation Stadium Tour. This has been the most we've seen her in SUCH a long time.

If you compare pictures of Taylor from 2015 compared to now in 2018, you'll see that Taylor has gained weight and before you freak out, no, I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

Taylor has always been thin, even when you look at past pictures dating back to when she was first discovered. Taylor's new athletic build makes her look so strong and healthy but that doesn't make her fat.

Apparently, she had told someone at a reputation secret session that she had gained 25 pounds and the paparazzi would call her pregnant and that, to me, is heartbreaking.

But here's the thing, we don't actually know anything about Taylor's health. The only thing we know is what we see and her body has nothing to do with her ability to sing. She became famous for being a good singer/songwriter, not because of her body.

We also shouldn't care about a celebrity's weight loss/gain. Truthfully, it isn't news-worthy. Celebrities are people too and just like us, they'll have weight fluctuations, too.

Gaining weight does not mean you're fat and that goes for everyone no matter if you're Taylor Swift or just a normal person.

So, yeah, she gained weight. Anyone can tell that by looking at her photos, but if she's happy, then so what? It's none of our business. Let's stop commenting and speculating on her weight. It does not affect us in any way, shape, or form.

If Taylor is happy with her body, then that's all that matters in the end.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
