She’s also shared her recent journey with body acceptance and appreciating herself just as she is. We love to see it!
Over the weekend, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer posted a powerful message on Instagram – where she shared an image of her stretch marks covered in glitter paint.
“I used to genuinely believe recovery from an eating disorder wasn’t real,” she wrote in the caption. “That everyone was faking or secretly relapsing behind closed doors. ‘Surely she throws up here and there,’ ‘she can’t POSSIBLY accept her cellulite’…Those were just a few of the things that I used to tell myself growing up.”
“I’m so grateful that I can honestly say, for the first time in my life, my dietitian looked at me and said, ‘This is what eating disorder recovery looks like,'” she continued.
She explained that the glitter photo shoot came about when she wanted to celebrate her stretch marks, “Instead of being ashamed of them.”

“I started wearing actual glitter paint on my stretch marks to celebrate my body and all of its features (whether society views them as good OR bad). My stretch marks aren’t going away, so might as well throw a lil’ glitter on em’ – amiright?”
“This year was tough…Be gentle on yourself if you slip up and remember to get right back on track because you’re WORTH THE MIRACLE OF RECOVERY 💖 I LOVE YOU,” she concluded.
