Blank Space (Voice Memo)

So this next clip is, ah, from a session

That I had with Max Martin and Johan Shellback

And what we like to do is we like to run, um

A recording on our phones of everything we're doing

When we're putting a song together

Just in case one of us blurts out a cool melody

And then we forget about it

We wanna go back and then, and replay the tape

So that we can remind ourselves

What exactly we were saying

Um, so I brought in this idea called, "Blank Space"

And this was me playing it for Max and Johan for the first time

And they're shouting out these production ideas like

You know, the, "Oh!" at the beginning of the chorus

Um, and that ended up in the song

So this is the very beginning stages of

A song on the album called, "Blank Space"

Like

Nice to meet you, where you been?

I could show you incredible things

Diamonds, seasides on these pins

Let the sun and, it's in the

Oh my God, nessuh nuh

Essuh nuh, I do too

Essuh nuh, essuh nuh

On this, on this, unless I

We can know something that's so good

All you think about this time

All this telluh, something like

Oh my God, listen to me

This you get, what you heard about me

Can't believe what you hear about me

Hear about me

'Cause it's gonna be forever

Gonna go, yeah, aye, aye

Gonna go down in flames

Gonna tell you that's it's over

This is like a, this is like a

Early 2000's Nelly track, now

Lover, long list of ex-lovers

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space, baby

I'll write your name

Blank space, baby

I'll write your

(That's awesome, it's so annoying

I love it, I love it

Oh my God, everyone's gonna kill you)

Yeah
