Swift takes the UK no. 1 singles spot this week with Anti-Hero, a song she described as “a real guided tour throughout all the things I tend to hate about myself. The song’s video had a scene of Taylor weighing herself on the bathroom scale and the word ‘Fat’ appears on the screen which was met with extreme controversy.
