Back in February she was pictured on the red carpet looking slender and more healthy.

'She's not getting enough protein in her body and is borderline anorexic,' he claimed, estimating that she has dropped from a healthy 130lbs to 110lbs.
A friend of the celeb told the magazine Taylor is barely eating and that problems in her marriage with investor husband Russell are taking a toll.
'She is bringing in most of the money for the household. He doesn't seem to be giving her the respect and love she deserves,' the source said.
