Blank Space Quotes

Context

This line is from the song "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift, from the album 1989 (2014).

When this song replaced Taylor's "Shake It Off" in the number one slot, she made Billboard history by dethroning herself. Pretty sweet, for a song that's kind of a joke.

Well, maybe it's not a joke joke, but Taylor is definitely making fun of her reputation as the high-maintenance serial dater. When she sings the line, "You look like my next mistake," she's poking fun at the media's perception that she traipses from one doomed relationship to another.

If the song itself doesn't make it clear that Taylor is kidding around with this one, then the over-the-top music video sure does.

It's out of control. The haters gonna hate, but Taylor seems to have struck a nerve with this line. She's not the only one who's taken the first step into a relationship, knowing it was doomed.

Pretentious Factor

What could possibly be pretentious about making fun of yourself in front of the whole world?
