"Blank Space" by Taylor Swift
Nice to meet you, where you been?I could show you incredible things.
This is a wonderful opener, I think, and it sets the stage for a song with a story. We hear Taylor meeting someone, and letting them know that with her they'll go on wonderful journeys. This is the kind of confidence that I would expect from Taylor. She knows she's capable of introducing this person to new things. Maybe I like it because it makes me think of, "I can show you the world, etc..."
Looking at the video as well, we see a model of a man (quite literally, he's a really down to Earth model from the one interview I read after he did this video) drive up in a wonderfully classy car (of which I don't know the make or model, but I'm not a car guy, so it's good). Our first shot of Taylor is on a bed, with breakfast on a platter. She's wearing a super classy night gown(? not sure on the term here), and is freshly woken, the sleep mask pulled up on her forehead. My first thought on the black gown was that it looked vaguely reminiscent of someone in mourning. The Black definitely contrasts the White of the bedroom, the cat, and the horses. Now, she's not actually just woken up, as I know very few people who can look that wonderful after having just woken up, but shh, this is setting the stage as the beginning of the journey (see day) she goes on with this man. Also worth noting, she's holding her actual cat, Olivia Benson. The next shot of Sean, the model, is him looking around realizing that this is actually an incredible thing, and then back to a wide shot of Taylor's room showing a quite spacious bedroom with TWO white horses, among the rest of the beautiful setting. Clearly she CAN show you incredible things.
