Certain elements of the “Anti-Hero” music video are believed to be “monsters on the hill” to some members of Swift’s loyal fan base.
The music video, which was released on October 21 as well, originally depicted a scene featuring Swift stepping on a scale, which clearly sounded “fat.”
According to The Blast’s report on the matter, some of Swiftie’s Twitter users believed the scene was a depiction of fatphobia and called on the “All Too Well” singer to make changes to the video.
Concerned fans start a conversation about video content on Twitter and expressed their concern about how the reception of the video had been met.
“When @lizzo has a word that is deemed capable in one of his songs, he apologizes and corrects it. Thousands of disabled people talk about it. Same with Beyonce. But Taylor has a fatphobic image and it’s ‘you don’t get it’ aimed at fat people?” their tweets are read.
Another fan pointed out that they were not surprised by the alleged depiction of fatphobia.
“I don’t have the emotional or mental energy to comment on the ‘anti-hero’ part of the scale, everyone is phobic until proven otherwise and as much as I like Blondie I’m not surprised,” they tweet.
The music video was later edited on Apple Music with the offending scenes removed. Some fans were unhappy with the change; Our report on the editing of the video shared that a fan who had expressed their displeasure with the discourse on social media asked for the scene to be restored.

Eight weeks after the release of the “Midnights” and “Anti-Hero” videos, the viral song has surpassed Swift’s 2014 single from “1989” as her longest-charting single!
“Blank Space” previously held the title for a whopping seven-week run, according to Billboard. The lead single for “1989,” “Shake It Off” currently holds the third spot for Swift’s longest-running single on the chart, closing in on a month at number one. The copyright claim surrounding the song was recently dropped! (per The Blast)
Swift took to her Insta-story to celebrate her reign as an “Anti-Hero”. He shared a screenshot of the Billboard charts and exclaimed, “What On Earth? I love you all!”
“Midnights” producer and Swift’s longtime friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff also shared his excitement for the song’s accomplishment! Antonoff also posted an Instagram story slide, writing, “remember before anti hero came out taylor said it was her favorite song lyrically and that’s why it was her first single but it was weird and personal and we shouldn’t have expected it to be number one. …. anti hero next week -8 on 1…. crazy” (via Twitter)
Swift also showed off some of her signature sweetness and support for her peers by giving Sza a shout-out. Sza’s viral single “Kill Bill” is currently at number two on the Billboard charts.
“PS HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO @SZA’S ALBUM NON-STOP. REALLY HAS HIS MUSIC. SO MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT,” Swift added at the end of her Instagram story post with a heart emoji.
Swifties are excited about the success of “Anti-Hero”, and are taking to Twitter to tweet so!
“The fact that Taylor didn’t think Anti-Hero would work…. she really underestimated herself,” Swiftie tweeted on The Swift’s Society thread about Antonoff’s Instagram story.
“MY MOM AND UNCLE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU,” tweeted another Swiftie in celebration.
“This blows my mind,” said one Swiftie.
“Omg they are so humble,” another fan tweeted, referring to Swift and Antonoff.
“She’s the only artist I know who underestimates herself,” said another Swiftie, “like who’s going to tell her she’s THE taylor swift,” they concluded.
Swift and Antonoff have been working together in the studio since 2014’s “1989.” The Bleachers singer featured heavily in Swift’s behind-the-scenes content for “Midnights.” (per The Blast)
