Reasons Why "Blank Space" Video is Everything and Nothing at the Same Time

Following my article Why 1989 is Spectacular, we are now on Week 2 post 1989 release and yes, 1989 is still on repeat at all times. I stand by my feelings regardless of people who tell me that I'm crazy for not including "New Romantics" in my list. And for not liking "All You Had To Do Was Stay." Whatever, guys.

T. Swift came at us hard and fast with the release of the Blank Space video. Yahoo! released it early, but of course Taylor shut that ish down real quick. Once it was officially released, the internet practically threw up. 

Some Twitter feedback from fans:

"If I had a dollar for every time I've listened to the song Blank Space today it would pay my tuition #blankspacemusicvideo"

"Ladies, if your dude isn't wearing a cape to your next black tie function, dump him. #blankspacemusicvideo"

Etc. and so on. I saw zero negative feedback in the last five minutes I've been scrolling on my Twitter feed. 

The Internet fell in love with Sean O'Pry, Taylor's co-star in this cinematic masterpiece of a music video. Bye Harry Styles, hellooo Sean O'Pry. Those cheek bones though!! 

I think the real reason why this video is so good is because it's Taylor making fun of the way that the media portrays her in the most shocking, entertaining and hilarious way. 

I watched this video (for the sixth time) with my senior communications project group (#seniorproject). We legitimately put the discussion of this music video on the agenda of our meeting. A lively bunch to say the least, we had a LOT to say about this. Overall, we were BIG fans. Any commentary is coming from a place of sheer amazement, utter shock and pure intrigue. 

Here are our thoughts. 

Feel free to watch the video and read along with our commentary.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
