Текст песни Blank Space - Commentary - Taylor Swift

We are celebrating the many milestones of Taylor Swift
It's the fourth anniversary of the release of her 1989 album
And this next song that she recorded
It almost sounded like she was kind of poking fun at herself
And it turns out this actually didn't start out as a real song

Blank space is one of the only songs I've ever written
That I started out writing as a complete joke
I think as a songwriter
You have to be pretty well aware of who you are as a person
But then I think you also have to have one eye on what people think of you
And kind of what the general perception is of you out in the world
And erm...
In the last couple of years
I've noticed there's been a sort of a pretty sensational fictionalization
Of my personal life
I mean to the point where I just sort of like...
Wow! That too?
You know they kind of draw up this profile
Of this girl who is a serial dater, jet-setting round with all her boyfriends
And then she can get him but she can't keep him
'Cause she's too emotional and she's needy
Then she gets her heart broken 'cause they leave
And she's jilted so she goes to her evil lair
And writes songs about it for revenge
It's just kind of this very complex profile of a person

I got to thinking about it
And I started to think about how interesting that character is
If she were a real person and you had all these qualities and attributes
What song would she write?
And I'm pretty sure it'd sound a little like this

This is blank space of 1989 on Big Machine Radio
