"Because darling, I'm a nightmare dressed as a daydream" Taylor Swift’s new music video for “Blank Space,” from her 1989 album, begins as you would expect: T-Swift is eating breakfast in a bougie bed, cradling a kitten, surrounded by white horses. You know, as one does.
But her life of whimsy with a beautiful beau—riding bicycles in the living room, picnicking on those Sweethearts candies and pretending they don’t taste like chalk—takes a turn for the psychotic when Swift reveals that “darling, I’m a nightmare dressed as a daydream.”

Swift immediately turns into an incredible stereotype of an unhinged, knife-wielding girlfriend in a perfect, ironic parody of what many must assume is a Taylor Swift-ian lifestyle of decadence, glamour, and a little bit of crazy.
