“Blank Space” was written amongst the peak of Taylor’s “serial dater” allegations. Taylor took the rumors into a hit song with a catchy hook in 2014, she then did it again in 2023 with “Blank Space (Taylor’s Version).

The original song hit no.1 on Billboard in late 2014, mere weeks after it was released and re-entered the charts just 3 weeks after the rerecording of “1989” was announced. So far, the rerecorded version has peaked at no.9 on the global charts.
