Taylor Swift has got those crazy eyes down, that's for sure. On Sunday night (Nov. 23), the 1989 singer kicked off the 2014 American Music Awards with a dramatic performance of her new No. 1 single "Blank Space."

The performance kicked off recalling the track's music video, with Swift and a mysterious handsome man in a frame, dining dinner. As the song proceeds though, it's clear that Swift is filling out her "Blank Space" with a death list... that wine was no wine at all.

Rocking murderous, intense eyes and dramatic postures along with her golden dress, Swift then proceeded to set some roses on fire before meeting her next new dream man... whom she tangoed with inside another frame before she asked "who is she" and pushed him off a cliff.

More fire, more intense eyes and more insanity from Swift followed, as she made her way through a hall of live artwork, slashing each man along the way...

Until she meets her next "Blank Space."

During the epic ex-boyfriend inspired anthem, the cameras really missed an opportunity to cut to Harry Styles, by the way.
