Interpretation
Blank Space is her biggest joke at the 'crazy ex' persona — 'I'm expensive, I'm unhinged, you're scared too.' Playful, eye-roll self-mockery.
I laugh every time: they called her dramatic, she wrote it into a hit and played it. That 'the me you described — I'll perform it' cleverness is 1989's slickest move.
