Taylor Swift sering dikritik media karena menjadikan kisah-kisah cintanya sebagai bahan lirik lagunya. Mereka menganggap tak sepantasnya Taylor melakukan itu. Sebagai protes atas kritikan tersebut, Taylor membuat lagu Blank Space. Dalam lagu ini Taylor secara sarkastik namun jenaka membuat lelucon atas dirinya -- atau tepatnya, dirinya sebagaimana dicitrakan di media. Protes yang disampaikan secara kreatif ini mendapat pujian dari berbagai media besar. The New York Times bahkan mengatakan Blank Space adalah puncak kehebatan Taylor Swift. Absolute Punk mendukung protes Taylor sebab semua musisi melakukan itu, sejak jaman musik klasik hingga masa kini -- semua pernah menciptakan lagu bersumber dari kisah cintanya. Maka biarlah Taylor bernyanyi: 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 (Kupunya daftar panjang mantan-mantan kekasih / mereka akan bilang padamu bahwa aku gila / Namun kupunya ruang kosong, sayang / dan akan kutulis namamu.
Blank Space
Taylor Swift
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
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
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
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
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
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
