Taylor Swift - Blank Space (Music video) [+ Review]

 Taylor Swift is back and crazier than ever in her new music video for 'Blank Space', which makes fun of the media's portrayal of herself. For so long a relationship with Swift has been equated with a nightmare as, if you broke up with her - you could be pretty sure a song would be wrote about you. But, Taylor is taking things to a whole new level in this mocking video, which sees the singer act like a psychopath with a new lover. 

There's phone breaking, car smashing, food poisoning and, of course - the classic shirt cutting. The whole video is one of the most genuinely funny in the way it takes on this portrayal and Swift really gets into her role on screen. It's just one of those things where you hear something and you think, "Oh no, she'll never do something like that, or reference this 'man-eater' image in her songs or videos", and then she goes and does it. 'Blank Space' is the quintessential mocking song, and its darker undertones really make for captivating viewing. We reviewed the song itself over in our 1989 album review, but the music video is so outlandish and extravagant and completely fitting to the track that it would be foolish not to comment on the affair. 

The sets and costumes are top notch, and the whole persona that Swift is giving off is incredibly on point; starting off as a seemingly innocent girl residing at a large estate to a full-blown manipulator who reaches breaking point and takes it out on her lover. 

As music videos go, this is certainly one of the more interesting ones and its refreshing to see a singer-songwriter that doesn't take themselves too seriously and can have a laugh at times when it's appropriate. Swift's really pushed the boat out on this one, and it's safe to say she won't be coming back to shore any time soon.
