BMI is a terrible metric, and even then her BMI is on the lower end of the normal range.

Oh I'm aware. That's why I threw in that even according to the faulty BMI scale for women, Taylor Swift is considered bordering on underweight to being underweight.

That you think Taylor Swift isn't skinny says way more about you than anything else.

Her weight has fluctuated, like most normal people. When she was closer to 115, she was closer to skinny, not at 130. Certainly not in the reference photo, which is probably the fullest I've seen her. There are plenty of photos where you could make the argument, but they look much more like the "exaggerated" sketch anyway. She is not skinny in the reference photo provided.

She was unhealthily underweight at 115.

Aka "skinny"

And unhealthily overweight = "fat"

Skinny = unhealthily underweight.

Fat = unhealthily overweight

Anyone not fitting in the above two categories is "normal".

Correct. You could divide "normal" up a bit more with adjectives like "slender" or "husky", but "skinny" and "fat" are on the unhealthy side.
