Background
Inspired by 1980s synth-pop with synthesizers, drum pads, and overlapped vocals, Taylor Swift
decided to move away from the signature country styles of her previous releases and incorporate a
straightforward pop production for her fifth studio album, 1989, which was released in 2014.[1][2][3]
The recording process began in mid-2013 concurrently with the start of Swift's headlining world tour
in support of her fourth studio album Red.[4] On 1989, Swift and Swedish producer Max Martin
served as executive producers.[2] Martin and his frequent collaborator Shellback produced seven out
of 13 songs on the album's standard edition.[5]
Having been known as "America's Sweetheart" thanks to her wholesome and down-to-earth girl next
door image,[6][7] Swift saw her reputation blemished due to her history of romantic relationships with
a series of high-profile celebrities. The New York Times asserted in 2013 that her "dating history
[had] begun to stir what feels like the beginning of a backlash", questioning whether Swift was in the
midst of a quarter-life crisis.[8] The Tampa Bay Times observed that until the release of 1989, Swift's
love life had become a fixed tabloid interest and overshadowed her musicianship.[7] Swift disliked the
media portrayal of her as a "serial-dater", feeling that it undermined her professional works, and
became reticent to discuss her personal life in public.[9][10] The tabloid scrutiny on her image
prompted her to write satirical songs about her perceived image, in addition to her traditional
romantic themes.[11]
Lyrics and music

Talking to GQ in 2015, Swift said that she envisioned "Blank Space" to be a satirical self-referential
nod to the media perception of her image as "a girl who's crazy but seductive but glamorous but nuts
but manipulative".[12] She admitted that she had felt personally attacked for a long time before
realizing "it was kind of hilarious".[12] She co-wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin and
Shellback.[5] In "Blank Space", she describes herself as a "nightmare dressed like a daydream".[13]
The chorus contains the lyrics "Got a long list of ex-lovers / They'll tell you I'm insane / But I've got a
blank space, baby / And I'll write your name," which allude to Swift's trademark songwriting taking
inspirations from her love life.[13][14] The line "Got a long list of ex-lovers" is often misheard as "All
the lonely Starbucks lovers", prompting internet discussions including a response from Starbucks
themselves upon the song's release.[15][16]
Swift told NME in 2015 that when "Blank Space" was released, External video
she noted, "Half the people got the joke, half the people really
Taylor Swift talking to NME about
think that I was like really owning the fact that I'm a
psychopath".[17] The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Piet Levy how she wrote "Blank Space" (https:
wrote that the song is about Swift finally assuming responsibility //www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bYU
for a failed relationship,[18] and Fact's Aimee Cliff thought that DY4lmls), published October 9,
the lyrics were Swift's confession of her promiscuity while 2015
portraying a "romantic and exciting" perspective of it.[19] Corey
Baesley from PopMatters summed the song up as a realization
that a relationship would be inevitably over, a "serious disillusionment" for Swift.[20] Time writer
Sam Lansky said that "Blank Space" was where Swift got herself "in on the joke".[14] In a retrospective
commentary, Billboard's Richard He wrote that on "Blank Space", Swift not only made fun of herself
but also mocked the media gossip, resulting in a discourse on pop culture that would serve as the
foundation for Swift's 2017 album Reputation.[21] Pitchfork writer Vrinda Jagoda described the song
as a representation of Swift's "romantic skepticism" on 1989, as Swift ceased to long for a perfect,
lasting romance.[22]
Martin and Shellback employed a sparse production for "Blank Space" as Swift wanted the song to
emphasize the lyrics and vocals.[2] Musically, "Blank Space" is an electropop song[23] that is set over
minimal hip hop-influenced beats.[24] The song incorporates synthesizers, percussioned guitar
strums, and layered backing vocals.[20][25] Various contemporary critics compared the song's
minimal production to that of New Zealand singer Lorde's music, specifically her 2013 album Pure
Heroine.[note 1] Spin's Andrew Unterberger commented that, as with the rest of 1989, "Blank Space"
embraces 1980s pop music authenticity while incorporating a modern twist.[26] Baesley thought that
the minimal production may "sound bright and easy, but it's anything but the latter to create", calling
it "weapons-grade, professional pop".[20]
Release and commercial performance

Republic Records in partnership with Swift's then-label Big Machine announced in late October 2014
that "Blank Space" would serve as the second single from 1989, following the lead single "Shake It
Off" in August. The song impacted US rhythmic crossover radio on November 10, 2014.[27] The
following day, Republic and Big Machine promoted the song to US hot adult contemporary[28] and
contemporary hit radio.[29] A CD single version of "Blank Space" was released in Germany on
January 2, 2015, by Universal Music Group.[30]
"Blank Space" debuted at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the chart dated November 15,
2014.[31] The single reached number one in its third week on the chart, supported by the release of its
music video. It took the number-one position from 1989's lead single "Shake It Off", making Swift the
first woman in Billboard Hot 100 chart history to succeed herself at the top spot.[32] "Blank Space"
remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks, making it Swift's longest reign at
number one and besting her previous record of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (five
weeks in 2012).[33] As of July 2019, "Blank Space" has sold 4.6 million copies in the United States.[34]
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the single 8× Platinum, which
denotes eight million units based on sales and track-equivalent on-demand streams.[35]
The single also reached number one in Australia,[36] Canada,[37] South Africa,[38] and Scotland.[39] It
peaked atop the Euro Digital Song Sales, a Billboard component chart,[40] and the Finnish Download
Chart.[41] "Blank Space" charted within the top five of national record charts, at number two in New
Zealand,[42] Poland,[43] Slovakia,[44] number three in Bulgaria,[45] number four in the Czech
Republic,[46] Ireland,[47] Israel,[48] the UK,[49] and number five in Lebanon.[50] It received multi-
platinum certifications in Australia (5× Platinum),[51] Canada (4× Platinum),[52] and the UK (2×
Platinum).[53] According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the
song was the eighth best-selling song of 2015, with 9.2 million track-equivalent units.[54]
Critical reception
Upon the release of 1989, Shane Kimberline of musicOMH called "Blank Space" one of the album's
best songs.[55] PopMatters's Corey Baesley lauded it as "easily a candidate for the best pop song of
2014".[20] Sydney Gore from The 405 deemed "Blank Space" the album's highlight,[13] and Aimee
Cliff from Fact labeled it one of Swift's "most enjoyable songs to date" for portraying a mundane topic
in a larger-than-life manner.[19] Drowned in Sound's Robert Leedham wrote that Swift succeeded in
experimenting with new musical styles on 1989, specifically choosing "Blank Space" as an
example.[56]
The Observer critic Kitty Empire picked "Blank Space" as a song that showcased Swift's musical and
lyrical maturity, calling it "an out-and-out pop song with an intriguingly skeletal undercarriage".[57]
Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Mikael Wood selected the track as one of the album's better songs
because of Swift's songwriting craftsmanship.[24] The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica deemed
the song "Swift at her peak" that "serves to assert both her power and her primness".[58] The
Independent's Andy Gill was less enthusiastic, calling it a "corporate rebel clichéd [sic]" song.[23]
Retrospective reviews of "Blank Space" have been generally positive. Critic Alexis Petridis of The
Guardian in 2019 declared "Blank Space" the best single Swift had released, praising its success in
transforming Swift's image from a country singer-songwriter to a pop star thanks to its "effortless"
melody and witty lyrics.[25] Rolling Stone reviewer Rob Sheffield wrote: "Every second of 'Blank
Space' is perfect".[59] Paste in 2020 described the song as "remarkably well-made, infectiously catchy,
and legitimately funny", and named it the best song on 1989.[60] Selja Rankin from Entertainment
Weekly also dubbed "Blank Space" the best track on the album, praising the over-the-top lyrics and
its catchy 1980s pop sound.[61]
Accolades
Rolling Stone ranked "Blank Space" sixth on their list of the best songs of 2014[62] and 73rd on their
list of the best songs of the 2010s decade.[63] Time named it as the ninth best song in their year-end
list.[64] The song placed at number three on The Village Voice's annual year-end Pazz & Jop critics'
poll of 2014.[65] Stereogum[66] and Uproxx[67] ranked the song at numbers 49 and 72 on their lists of
the best songs of the 2010s decade, respectively. Billboard named it one of the 100 "Songs That
Defined the Decade". Katie Atkinson wrote that the single consolidated Swift's trademark
autobiographical storytelling in music while "setting the standard for a new, self-aware pop star" in
poking fun at her perceived image.[68] On Slant Magazine's list of the 100 best singles of the 2010s,
"Blank Space" ranked 15th.[69]
"Blank Space" won Song of the Year at the 2015 American Music Awards.[70] At the 2016 BMI
Awards, the song was one of the Award-Winning Songs that helped Swift earn the honor Songwriter
of the Year.[71] It earned a nomination for International Work of the Year at the 2015 APRA Awards
in Australia.[72] At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016, "Blank Space" was nominated in three
categories—Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.[73]
Music video
Development and release
Joseph Kahn directed the music video for "Blank Space". Swift approached Kahn with the idea for
treatment, desiring the video to portray her self-deprecation as a "crazy villain" akin to the lyrics.[74]
According to Kahn, Swift envisioned "Blank Space" as "a video addressing this concept of, if she has
so many boys breaking up with her maybe the problem isn't the boy, maybe the problem is her".[75]
Photography took place at two locations in Long Island: primary shooting took place at Oheka Castle,
with a few additional scenes shot at Woolworth Estate. The video was shot over three days in
September 2014;[76] the last day was dedicated to film American Express Unstaged: Taylor Swift
Experience, an interactive 360° mobile app in collaboration with American Express.[77] For the video,
Swift was thorough in choosing the concepts and imagery. Kahn spoke of his working experience with
Swift on Mashable: "When you have an artist wanting to test her imaging, it's always great territory to
be in".[75]
Kahn took inspirations from Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film A

Clockwork Orange for the video's symmetrical framing style,
calling it "a really funny way to approach a pop video".[77] The
video begins with Swift's love interest (played by model Sean
O'Pry) approaching Swift's mansion. Upon arrival, the boyfriend
and Swift quickly become a loving couple. They engage in various
romantic activities together, dancing, painting a portrait for the
boyfriend, walking along the estate grounds, and riding horses
The video was primarily shot at into the woods. Halfway through the video, Swift notices her

York. They begin to fight, and Swift shows erratic behaviors such as
throwing vases, slashing the painted portrait, and burning her
boyfriend's closet, which drives the boyfriend to end the
relationship.[78] At a high point, Swift uses a golf club to destroy her boyfriend's car, a reference to
Tiger Woods' 2009 cheating scandal.[75] As the boyfriend leaves the estate, a new man approaches,
offering Swift a new hope for love.[78]
Swift planned to premiere to the video on Good Morning America on November 11, 2014, but Yahoo!
accidentally leaked it a day before.[74] Swift posted the video onto her Vevo account quickly after the
leak.[79] The interactive app American Express Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience, featuring the
360° video version of "Blank Space", was released concurrently. The user can choose to either follow
Swift and her love interest throughout the linear storyline, or leave the storyline to explore other
rooms in the mansion and find interactive easter eggs, such as Swift's childhood photos.[80][81] The
app was available for free on mobile app stores. Kahn talked to Rolling Stone that the app was created
with "superfans" who wanted to "feel even closer to Swift" in mind.[76]
Reception
Upon release, media outlets compared the narrative of the video to that of Gone Girl, in the sense that
both Swift and Gone Girl's protagonist "[strip] away the romantic sheen she's given all her
relationships in the past".[82] Randall Roberts from the Los Angeles Times wrote that Swift delivered
an "Oscar-worthy" performance.[78] Billboard praised the video's cinematic quality and aesthetics,
and found Swift's self-referential portrayal amusing, which served as "icing on the blood-filled
cake".[83] Columnist Jessica Valenti from The Guardian complimented Swift's portrayal of her
perceived image and dubbed the video "a feminist daydream", where "the narrow and sexist
caricatures attached to women are acted out for our amusement, their full ridiculousness on
display".[84]
USA Today in 2017 named the video Swift's best music video up to date, calling it a "pure 'art'
form".[85] Spin also dubbed it the greatest video Swift had done so far, praising the video's
combination of glamorous aesthetics and hilarious depiction of Swift's reputation.[86] Entertainment
Weekly in 2020 picked "Blank Space" as the best video among 1989 singles, describing it as "the only
music video that can be earnestly described as 'Kubrickian'."[87] The video for "Blank Space" won
Best Pop Video and Best Female Video at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.[88] It earned a
nomination for Best International Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan.[89] The
American Express Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience app won Original Interactive Program at the
67th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.[90]

Swift performed "Blank Space" during the "1989 Secret Session", live
streamed by Yahoo! and iHeartRadio on October 27, 2014.[91] Swift
premiered the song on television at the 2014 American Music Awards,
where she recreated the narrative of the music video, acting as a
psychopathic woman who acts erratically towards her boyfriend.[92] She
again performed the song on The Voice on November 25,[93] at the 2014
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on December 2,[94] and during Capital

hits.[100] She again performed the song at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball
2019 in London,[101] and at iHeartRadio Z100's Jingle Ball 2019 in New

featuring his rap verse to SoundCloud on December 15, 2014.[103] Internet celebrity Shane Dawson
uploaded a parody of "Blank Space" onto his YouTube account, which was later removed by Sony
Music who received complaints from Swift's management team.[104] Retro music group Postmodern
Jukebox transformed the song into a 1940s-inspired track in their cover.[105] Rock band Imagine
Dragons performed a slowed down rendition of the song sampling Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" at
BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in February 2015.[106] Metalcore band I Prevail released a post-hardcore
cover of "Blank Space" as a single in December 2014.[107] The cover reached number nine on
Billboard Hot Rock Songs[108] and number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100,[109] and received a
platinum certification by the RIAA, which denotes one million track-equivalent units.[110]
Rock singer Ryan Adams covered "Blank Space" on his 2015 track-by-track cover album of Swift's
1989.[111] On his rendition, Adams incorporated stripped-down, acoustic string instruments,
contrasting the original's electronic production.[112][113] Indie singer Father John Misty released a
cover version of the song in the style of the rock band the Velvet Underground in 2015.[114] The cover
is a reinterpretation of Adams's version and is built on the melody of the song "I'm Waiting for the
Man".[115]
