Taylor Swift Shows Her Crazy Side in ‘Blank Space’ Video: Watch
By Shannon Carlin
Taylor Swift told us she has a long list of ex-lovers who will say that she’s insane and now she’s making good on her promise in the video for “Blank Space.”

The clip for the 1989 track has her living like a recluse in a mansion too big for this crazy cat lady (look for a cameo from her cute kitty, Olivia Benson) who maybe comes on a bit too strong when it comes to a new suitor.
There’s indoor bicycle riding, portraiture (Taylor is pretty good with a paintbrush), dog walking, horseback riding and picnicking, which is all fine and dandy to do with a new love.

But, then things get a little, well, heated and Taylor flips the handle. Don’t text while you’re out with Swift. Seriously, the words, “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream,” never seemed more true.
We’re talking knives, golf club smashing and poison apples, along with lots of mascara stained tears. Can’t say she didn’t warn him though.
The video’s release this morning was not without controversy; the clip wasn’t scheduled to premiere that early, according to video director Joseph Kahn — who noted that “Yahoo effed up.”
Yup. Yahoo effed up. Wait to see the Blank Space video. Let Taylor introduce it herself. It'll be worth it :)
