And that happened to me at a very young age, so that was a bit hard. That was one of the first times I was like, \u2018Wow, this is not fair.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to say that watching other young women in the industry go through what she went through puts her \u201cin a real sad place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was the youngest, it was hard because I didn\u2019t understand why nobody was saying that this was wrong,\u201d she said. \u201cThank God we\u2019ve had Me Too movements and moments where we\u2019re looking at ourselves as a society and we\u2019re looking at internalized misogyny. We\u2019re looking at the way we treat critiquing women\u2019s bodies. We have amazing women out there like Jameela Jamil saying, \u2018I\u2019m not trying to spread body positivity. I\u2019m trying to spread body neutrality where I can sit here and not think about what my body is looking like.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the interview, Swift said her favorite lyricists are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/pete-wentz\/\">Pete Wentz<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/fall-out-boy\/\">Fall Out Boy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/lana-del-rey\/\">Lana Del Rey.<\/a> She also took time to praise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/phoebe-waller-bridge\/\" id=\"auto-tag_phoebe-waller-bridge\" data-tag=\"phoebe-waller-bridge\">Phoebe Waller-Bridge<\/a> for her hosting stint on&nbsp;<em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> (Swift was the musical guest for her episode), and gave kudos to artists like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/halsey\">Halsey<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/selena-gomez\/\">Selena Gomez<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/taylor-swift-me-too-apple-beats-1-905614\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In her latest interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music\u2019s Beats 1, Taylor Swift spoke openly about her experience with being slut-shamed early in her career, and praised movements like Me Too for helping to turn the tide. \u201cI was 23 and people were\u2026 making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-491719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-music-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-22 05:01:30","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KQZR - The Reel","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491719\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
