Video Editor Reacts to Taylor Swift - Blank Space 

This song was actually written as a response to the media, the media called her a serial dater that collects men like toys, she then embraced it and wrote this song playing the character they made her out to be. HER MINDDDDDD!!!!

Two things I noticed : At the beginning of the video, as long as their relationship is perfect, everything is tripod- or dolly- shot, super smooth and stable, and as soon as the fight starts, it switches to handheld and shaky! And in the deer scene, she wears a leopard dress! I think it’s no coincidence, and could symbolize the predator finally revealing herself from the « prey/trophy wife » she appeared like at the beginning.

This is her playing the character that the media painted her, she said “this person they’re saying i am, she would be interesting” so she made the song and this amazing video

You're totally right that she didn't actually hit the car. There is a behind the scenes of this music video where you can see her pretending to hit the car and she is holding like half a golf club so the clubhead and the damage to the car are both cgi. And like a lot of other people have said in the comments, this song is a commentary on how the media portrayed Taylor as a "crazy serial dater" for dating two people in a year and a half. She said "that's actually an interesting character they're writing about. Like she jetsets around the world collecting men and she can get any of them but she's so clingy that they leave and she cries. And she gets another one trapped in her web and locks them in her mansion. So I was like 'I could use this'." Her acoustic performance of this at the Grammy Museum is amazing and she gives a great speech beforehand.

This is why her dancers (& eventually Taylor) are swinging golf clubs during the eras tour. The dancers fake busting up the car. It’s so cool the way she dove into every era on the tour. We need your reaction to the movie, eventually!

Fun thing to note is when she is in the hallway with her new painting-the old painting behind her of her old “lover” has an axe in it 😂

The "Experience" part was a separate video with some references back to the clip, but you could look around in 3D and there were tasks/items to find. Sort of a mini game.

Those shoes are Louboutin, the trademark is the gloss red sole but it just happens to fit with the Red album. Look at any of her costumes on tour, they’re nearly always Louboutins maybe with the exception of the odd pair of flat pumps or chunky ankle boots. This is a fabulous analysis of this video, Taylor’s mind and creative artistry always works in mysterious ways and you’re right she’s a really good actress, if it just so happened she hadn’t been blessed with a great voice she’d have still made it as an actress or a screen writer because she’s a damned fine songwriter.

This video actually had a app where you could watch it in 3D!

The shoes are Louboutin, a very high-end shoe, Taylor also wears a lot of different Louboutin footwear for her Eras Tour.

I've been watching you for 5 months now since you did antihero and I never thought to even look up an editor reacting to videos. I had forgotten about how much I loved to film and edit in highschool. Seniors would make short films, kill bill was big back then and I remember doing that one the most. But no one at the school could edit the videos except for me and I was a sophomore. I absolutely loved loved loved editing the mini movies. It made me so happy. I like being behind the camera. I wish I would have kept up with it after high school because I feel like a lot has probably changed. But my point is that I didn't remember any of that until I watched your antihero video. And I miss that so much. I was really good at it and loved it. So thanks for bringing back the memories, I could instantly tell you love it as well. 💙💙💙

I love that she uses all the cutesy romcom cliches in the first half of the video. Dancing, running through the gardens in pretty dresses, riding white horses together, heart candy, even the quirky bike ride inside… and then she drops the bomb.

I love how noone is ACTUALLY questioning the deer, it‘s just „Is that a deer? Okay. Makes sense.“

Everyone overlooks the “click” when she says “I’ll write your name…!”

Can't wait for the Wildest Dream video reaction!

Love your reactions! There’s a behind the scenes of this where it shows that she didn’t hit the car. The golf club was actually shorter and was just a stick that they added the end to and made it look like a club.

FUN FACT: some was filmed at Oheka Castle in Huntington, NY on Long Island. it's crazy because i didn't become a big swiftie until 2021 and i went to my best friend's sister's wedding there in 2017. i've seen this music video in 2014 but didn't learn that until 2021. i live like 20 mins from there. other parts were filmed at a mansion in Glen Cove which is like a half hr from there.

The behind the scenes for this is hilarious

Would love to see you do Delicate. Not from 1989, but you'd love all the transitions!!

I've really enjoyed you doing the 1989 music videos. Each is made like a movie, I was going to say except for the new romantica MV but even now that MV is like a movie due to the Eras Tour movie. I just realized that while typing and my mind is blown. Wow Taylor is amazing 💙💙💙

The fire on pants mean “Liar, liar, pants on fire”

this was so fun to watch while painting my nails blue for the 1989 tv release tomorrow! that experience was like a game the fans could play, I am not exactly sure what it was about but yeah

The animals were definitely a hint to both Out of the woods and Wildest dreams being planned singles and MV

I noticed the snake ring when she’s holding the apple, nice little easter egg for Reputation that I hadn’t noticed before

"Is that a freakin' deer?" no, it's a dang deer. 😂❤

Yes! This is one of my favorites!! A few fun facts!! The tree carving, the end of the golf club, crumbling wall and car class are all vfx!!! But she actually stood on a horse!

This video is so funny. Tay is incredibly talented. She can even make songs about how others see her. 😂😂😂

Here’s to a new chapter in the Swiftie Syllabus 🔥

Dont mean to spam your comment section but i do really enjoy these. So the car being smashed up they bought it back for the eras tour and the car is like a big 3d picture that forms on the stage as it rises out the ground and all the dancers get light up hockey sticks and as they hit the "car" it appears damaged and its really cool! You need to see the eras movie

I have no idea wether she really destroyed the car or not, but I can definitely see it being difficult to hit the headlight spot on (on the first take as well) so it's definitely possible that she missed the first time so they used cgi on that 😅

I wonder if the clothing just bursting into flames as she throws it from the balcony is in reference to the lyric “so it’s gonna be forever, or it’s gonna go down in flames”. It is funny how it’s not on fire until after she throws it, but with all the attention put into the details of Taylor’s music videos, I can’t help but think there’s a reason for it. ☺️ Loving your reaction videos!

omg yay, love this music video ❤️

the Blank space experiance was a app that let you watch the video and look all around each scene in the video giving you a 360 degree view. They talk about it in the making of video if you feel like watching it.

I love your reactions 😂 I have listen this song so many times and watch the video as well but with your reaction it feels like its the first time! Greetings from Ecuador!

This video is so iconic I watch it every so often just because and I love your videos because you point out stuff I haven’t noticed before even though I’ve seen this video hundreds of times ❤

I always notice and learn more when I watch your videos...like somehow I missed the entire deer? lol it's been probably years since I watched this video, but I enjoy your videos so I can appreciate the production value! and Joseph Kahn is like one of the best music video directors ever. Would love to see you do more from him of other artists!

Swiftie gang!!!! 1989💙💙💙💙

Yes it was an app! It was an interactive video for fans. She spoke about it in a talk show.

If you didnt know, the male model in this video is Sean O´Pry, at the time the highest payed model in the world

Well, others have already told you all about the meaning of this song. What I’ll add to give more context in general is that not only is 1989 so huge for her and us fans (the TV was amazing and you posting 2 videos in a day made it even better!) because it’s her first pop album, but it’s also the first time we hear her more openly being fed up with the narrative media keeps spitting out about her. You can see it in Shake It Off too (and now, “Slut!”, a song from 1989 TV). Clearly this is nothing to the very clearly spelled out ‘fuck you’ that is Reputation and everything coming after that. To me Blank Space is the prequel of The Man, she’s just very tired of this double standards of picking women apart for every single thing like relationships while men are just given a clap on the back and a Playboy rep. Taylor was 25 here, I mean come on, leave the girl alone! But yeah the storytelling of this video and her acting are SO GOOD, I love her crazy looks. I don’t know if you noticed but all the paintings shown are not just the guy in the video, it’s her “long list of ex-lovers” that she still keeps framed on the wall destroyed, one has a freaking axe stuck in it. It’s one of my favourite details. I think this video and Wildest Dreams have the best shots and narrative, but I still can’t wait for you to see my beloved Style because I think the editing on that one is just so so so good.

oh ive been waiting for that one

I’ve never even thought the dear in that shot was weird until you say it 😂😂 but yeah… I actually LOVE how dramatic is this video! Hope you are having fun with the week for 1989 TV.

You should see the behind the scenes of this music video.

This is when I became a Swiftie 😂 At the time she also launched a Blank Space page where you could walk around set. If I recall correctly it was even built for 3D glasses. It was soo coooollll

I agree! Taylor can act!

1989 so excited!!!! Yassssss!!!! Omg

I NEEEEEEED to see what you think about Ready For It!

I love that there is so much going on you didn't even notice the axe to the painting lol

She does a little click before "And I'll write your name" She made this song for the people who accused her of over dating so that click she knew would annoy people

I've been waiting for this!

But you never answered how they made her look like she was standing on a horse 😂 I always thought about a green ladder or something similar

Just before 1989 Taylor’s Version comes out! AHHH great reaction as always, I hope you do an album reaction someday! this music video changed the trajectory of pop culture history

Wowww i never noticed the 3 seats!!!! I swear ive watches blank space a million times. This is why i watch your videos!!! u spot stuff i have never seen!!!

The blank space experience was a website or something where you could like explore the set with a 360 vision camera and find easter eggs and clues

No Aston Martin was harmed in the making of this video 😂

I LOVE THESE!!!

Omg this is gonna be great

A lot of the dresses in this video are Oscar de la renta

The red on the bottom of her shoes isn't just a video choice- it's another nod to how goddamn rich the woman is. Those are Christian Louboutins, and probably cost like $1,000. The fact that she's wearing them OUTSIDE is wild.

Really glad this video popped up in my feed - now subscribed 🙂

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE YESSSS

Not to mention there was a 3D iTunes version where you could look around the set as the music video was going, it was hella green screened or scans of the venue but it was cool asf

At the end of the video is an ad for an app that doesn’t exist anymore

Was totally waiting to find out and hoping the car was CGI lol thanks for the Vedic, this is my favorite TS song!

“That dang dear!”

My fave video of all time!!

Haahahaha the last part was the best, he looked so confused lol

I don’t know why but I think somehow the white horses are related to another Taylor Swift’s song White Horse if I’m not wrong

5:38 ooh I was expecting you to notice the axe on the ex's portrait 😂

i cant wait for you to get to i can see you, its my favorite!

Red bottom shoes are Fancy ✨

You look like my next mistake. Brilliant! 😂😂😂

Another video with even more animals (and still 1989 album) is Wildest Dreams. Another fab MV.

1989 TV is out in less than 4 hours. Let's go!

I love your reactions and video editing input. I'd love to see you do Willow by Taylor Swift. Such a beautiful video. Great cong too

Joseph Khan, the director of most of this videos, is a CGI fan ahahaha when you get to reputation videography you'll see a lot of CGI. THAT SAID: i never have noticed the fire only starts after omg hahahaha

I feel like you’d have fun with “Me!” Music video. Taylor’s fever dream 💖

The location is Oheka Castle, in Huntington, NY. It’s on Long Island. If I could get married anywhere, with no budget, it would be at Oheka Castle. This castle is in a ton of TV shows, movies, and music videos. It’s such a beautiful location! 13:57 there are behind the scenes of this particular scene. The golf club only has about half of the upper part, with the grip and about 10-12” of the club’s shaft. That car is worth a ton on money. If i remember correctly, it’s $250,000 - $500,000 USD. A scratch on that car is worth more than my annual salary. So they had to be super careful.

Starbucks Lovers Crew checking in! 😂

Jack black just sang taylor swift anti hero on stage....... in his underwear. JACK BLACK SINGING TAYLOR SWIFT IS A DAY ID NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE

Yeah i dont remember if it was an app or just an interactive video but basically there was somewhere we can go to online and see the whole set in 360°

13:37 in some BTS of this video she explained that the golf club was just a handle and the rest of it was CGI. So she was just swinging short handle

They made this video into a game thing where you're in it and can follow them around and hunt for the easter eggs, thats what the snippet at the end was about

This was shot in a hotel which you can of course stay in and its actual not that expensive. Well the outside scenes were shot at a hotel not sure about the inside

It was filmed at a house on the Gold Coast Long Island.

Actually a lot o people had show how to make the cake. You make two cakes, make a circle in the middle of the second, put the wheel on top of the first cake and then just put red syrup in there and cover with icing

Disclaimer: No cars were harmed during the production of this music video.

Also Pillowtalk by ZAYNE!!!! You willl loveeeeee

Please also react to her MV "Wildest Dreams". The shots are incredibly beautiful😍

There was an interactive apple media of some sort that took you on a tour of the house and behind the scenes which won her an emmy

Nope, the scenes around the 3:50 cut were different as you can see by the shape of the chairs and windows - but you do have a very good point about the similarity being jarring once it's pointed out. 14:23 you can clearly see the light lense had been smashed, which should have been spotted earlier, and the damage to the body-work is consistent for an alloy bodied Cobra - and even an alloy bodied "copy" is a VERY expensive car! At the end, he's begging her to take him back.

5:20 I believe the red soles signify they're Lobutions, a super expensive shoe.

8:57 yes that is a freaking dear

"This gosh dang deer" -TS😂

JOSEPH KAHN HAD ONE JOB AND THAT WAS TO MAKE 1989 MVS SLAY!!!

That cake is so famous now that many bakers make it as a Blank space cake

Yessssssssss

I was going to vacuum but something much more important just came up….

This means that the only one left is Wildest Dreams!!! My favorite one!!!

At 3:15 I think those 3 "seats" you pointed out might actually be other easels of other guys...
