Reclaiming its place on the global Spotify chart at #193, the second track from ‘1989’ and a front-runner for Taylor Swift’s best songs ever, ‘Blank Space’ has recently resurfaced with a bang. With an impressive 1.083 million streams on the platform, the song’s resurgence hinted at a potential enduring climb in the weeks ahead. The gears of the ‘Blank Space’ revival started turning last year when Swift announced her revamped version of ‘1989’. 

Swifties, ever-loyal to their idol, rallied around the original album following the mid-concert revelation of ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’, thrusting it back into the top 10 of the Billboard 200 ranking. And now, with the success of the revamped album, ‘Blank Space’ is once again turning heads and resonating with music lovers. But what makes it so exceptional that millions of fans are still drawn to it, even ten years later?

‘Blank Space’ is where Taylor Swift flexed her pop muscles, just as ‘All Too Well’ and ‘Folklore’ showcased her storytelling side. The melody was infectious and clever, with a genius flow from verse to pre-chorus to chorus. But what set it apart was that Taylor Swift came up with the song during a time when people were turning her hits into blind items in gossip columns and even titled her a “serial dater”. ‘Blank Space’ was Swift’s way of reclaiming her narrative.

One can almost picture her rolling her eyes when she sang “I’m insane“. Swift nailed down everything the media and her haters were gossiping about her between 2012 and 2018. On top of that, the music video was a work of art in itself, featuring a grand castle, a genuine horse, and fancy cars. That said, it is no surprise the song remains iconic for fans who keep hitting the replay button.
