“Blank Space” Is Taylor Swift’s Response to the Media
The pop song “Blank Space” was released in 1989 and soon became one of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift’s biggest recorded singles. In an interview with the NME music blog, Taylor said the single gave the media the impression that she dated too many people.
But “Blank Space” was actually Taylor Swift’s response to all the negative remarks by the media. On top of that, a commonly misheard lyric from the song was “Got a long list of ex-lovers.” But some fans and a coffee ad thought it was “All the lonely Starbucks lovers.”
