Welcome to New York” may be wide-eyed and innocent, but the acid “Blank Space” is anything but. Those who don’t listen closely might miss the irony, but the song finds Swift—over a hip-hop-influenced drum machine beat recorded with Max Martin and Shellback—sending up her own reputation as a naive heartbreaker, a “nightmare dressed like a daydream.” “I’ve got a long list of ex-lovers,” she warns, plus “a blank space baby/ And I’ll write your name.”
@amirbe this song is expertly written to get that exact message across and I love it. She is basically giving the media what it wants (the craziness shown in the music video). My favourite line from this song is "'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream." I think it perfectly sums up how she is portrayed by the media and tabloids.
