I absolutely love the video for Blank Space, and I hope it is officially released on YouTube soon! I wasn't sure about the choice of Blank Space as the follow up single, but it was definitely worth it for the video.
Love this album, can't remember a time when I'm been into a whole album so much, I've literally played it to death. P.s video for Blank Space is brilliant.

I agree, I loved Red but have listened to this album a few times and just feel very meh about it. Shake It Off is far and away the stand out single, a couple of other songs (can't even remember which off the top of my head) are okay but in general I find a lot of the songs just blend into one another. Maybe once I've listened some more it will grow on me.
Finally got this. And I really like it. I love the synth sound and vague 80s inspiration - always have done. It's a really good, well-produced pop album in my mind. I loved Blank Space as soon as I heard it on the radio, and I also really like 'Out of the Woods', 'All you had to do was stay', and 'I know places', but I think 'Style' is just phenomenal.
For harmless, good, pure, decent pop, this is a cracker.
Love this album to death. Far better then Red and Red is a brilliant album as well. I hope she makes Out of the woods as next single or stay. Then again they all could be singles pretty much.
I love the song but the video is just stupid. I had this down as a happy, fun sort of song - really don't know what the video director was thinking.
Either way, brilliant bit of pop. For me, the best single so far.”
It's a cool video but doesn't suit the song whatsoever. Even if she mimed along with the words it wouldn't seem as stupid. The lack of cohesion between the song and video just makes it drag.

Oh I disagree entirely. I don't think the video's dark enough. The whole beach and white sheets and stuff makes it too bright and cheerful for me. The song's about a love that's pretty toxic in my mind - amazing when it's good but a complete disaster when it's bad (which is often). I find a lot of the album like that actually: relationships on the brink of being incredibly destructive.
Great track though, my favourite off of the album.

Still loving this album - I badly need an Out of the Woods video and a dramatic live performance of it.”
