Blank Space by Taylor Swift


Taylor Swift (hereby referred to as "T-Swift") just dropped her newest video. Blank Space has been out for two days and has garnered over 15 million views. Two days. 15 million views. Wow. Y'all must really love T-Swift. The country music singer turned pop star has really come a long ways since she was on the bleachers wearing t-shirts.

2009 was a simpler time.
At first, this video started out pretty boring. We mean really boring. A love story, hanging out, at a mansion, doing happy rich people things. We've seen it before, so it was nothing new. But then the video takes a drastic turn for the better. As her new man is texting one of his lady friends, T-Swift goes full blown psycho. And we love it. 

More insane than publicly slamming an ex in front of Daft Punk.
She's tearing up posters. Ruining his clothes. Murdering him. Standing on top of the man's horses for Christ sake. Who does that? The more we watch it, the more we feel that this may actually be how she handles her breakups. This is less of a music video and more of a documentary. Brought to you by American Express. 

The wild T-Swift now disposes of her prey.
The video, while a great concept, falls short in some areas. It cool, but its not cool. It kept our attention, but it didn't give us anything to special, unlike what her music gave to our hearts. The idea is funny, but they could've done soooooo much more. Standing on the dude's horses though, that might have been to far. 

You monster.
With those thoughts in mind, it is a good music video. It's just not anything spectacular. As far as originality is concerned, it isn't. All in all, it's just another music video that we will probably forget about. Nice attempt at outrageous though, you show some promise kid. Maybe someday you'll be a famous star. We give it 3 T-Swift ex's out of 10.
