The 'Meant To Be' singer admits it "broke her heart" when she was told no designers would dress her for the music awards ceremony because she was a size 8.
She said: "Honestly? People are saying you're too big to fit into their dresses. It broke my heart. I was so sad, so depressed. I felt like I was garbage. I thought to myself, 'This is bulls**t. I was mad. I wasn't trying to get back at anyone, but I wasn't standing for it any more. I was in the studio and I just left, went into the kitchen, and made a video on my phone. If a [US] size 6/8 is too big then I don't know what to tell you ... That's crazy. You're saying that all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and they cannot wear your dresses ... f**k you, I don't want to wear your f***ing dresses."
The 30-year-old star has had to battle with comments about her weight her whole life and even when she got signed, she was told she had to lose a lot of weight very quickly.
She told the October issue of Cosmopolitan magazine: "When I first got signed, the label said, 'Are you ready to get in boot-camp shape?' They wanted me to lose 20lb (almost a stone and a half). Back then I was so small, I was only 130lb [around 9 stone]. It f***ed me up. I was so cold all the time. I would starve myself before filming a music video. She'd [a female creative director] sit opposite me at the dinner table and say, 'You're not losing enough.' All I was eating was salad."
The new issue of Cosmopolitan is on sale from September 5.
