Taylor Swift has a long list of ex-lovers, and she's taking on the media's perception of her in these relationships in the new music video for her second 1989 single "Blank Space."
Today (Nov. 10), the official visual for "Blank Space" leaked online thanks to a gaffe by Yahoo! ahead of its planned release date. Thought he Yahoo! page has since been taken down, this is the Internet and nothing ever truly disappears.
In the music video, Swift truly plays the crazy girlfriend, meeting a man, falling in deep love and then breaking up with him in a daze of crazed violence... all in the span of one day.

"Blank Space" takes place in an expansive, opulent and old-fashioned mansion and estate, which Swift clearly calls home. Swift and Mr. New Man have the most dreamlike day date filled with fancy dinners, picnics, portraits and carving each other's names in a tree... the true sign of a love that's meant to last forever... or a month.
Continuing her trend of self-parody, Swift's man of the day (the unfortunate Sean) is texting... presumably another woman. Swift catches him and then all hell breaks loose.
First, of course, she drops his offending cellphone in a fountain before taking on comic vengeance. Swift slashes his shirts and portraits, screams at him, smashes his old-timey car with a golf club and even stabs a heart-shaped cake, which oozes a fitting red liquid.
All the while, she plays a convincing crazy, bugging out her eyes, mascara and tears flowing down her face all the while.
