Washington: Taylor Swift transforms into a jealous lover in her video for “Blank Space.” Upon seeing her man texting during a picnic date, enraged Swift tosses his phone in a fountain, yells at him in their mansion’s library and sheds mascara-coated tears alone near the fireplace.
That’s what fans saw on Monday when the video leaked on Yahoo, one day before the Joseph Kahn-directed piece was set to officially premiere on Good Morning America. Swift uploaded it for real (above) Monday afternoon following the leak.
Taylor wanted to make a video addressing this concept of, if she has so many boys breaking up with her maybe the problem isn’t the boy, maybe the problem is her.

At one point in the video, Swift maniacally wields a golf club. Kahn said Tiger Woods’ 2009 cheating scandal, in which his wife allegedly chased him out of the house with a golf club after learning about his infidelity, inspired that part of “Blank Space.
“Blank Space” is the follow-up single to “Shake It Off” from Swift’s 1989, her fifth studio album that sold 1.287 million copies in its debut week amid controversy of her removing all of her music from Spotify. Swift explained that she feels Spotify is a “grand experiment.
“I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music,” she said. “I just don’t agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free.”
