8月底的MTV音樂錄影帶大獎,小天后泰勒絲再度橫掃全場,靠著〈Blank space〉一舉拿下最佳流行歌曲MV及最佳女歌手MV兩項大獎。這位在歌壇上呼風喚雨的小才女,今年以來十足風光,除了先前在蘋果串流音樂平台授權費問題上槓贏蘋果之外,這首得獎金曲〈Blank space〉,更在7月中旬突破10億次的點閱。要懂泰勒絲,就從這首神曲的歌詞開始吧!
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar……
I could make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like oh my god
Who is she? I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
(年輕的愛情)會讓你喘不過氣
甚至留下猙獰的傷疤⋯⋯
我可以扭轉情勢
玫瑰花園充滿荊棘
讓人猜疑想著我的天啊
那女的是誰?我被嫉妒灌醉
但你每次離開後都會回來
因為親愛的,我是個裝作甜美夢境的夢魘
