Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

“Boys want love if it’s torture, but real men want you to text them back. Honestly. The way you can tell the boys from the men is how they react when you don’t play games with them. A boy will become bored. A man will want to get to know you more. Everyone wants a challenge, but you shouldn’t have to completely manipulate your communication style in order to seem like one. Your conversation, your outlook, your wit, your accomplishments, your charisma, those things should challenge him. Any MAN knows that if you’re showing him all of those qualities, you could just as easily show them to someone else if he plays games. You know what they say, play games with a girl, she’ll chase you. Play games with a woman, she will replace you.” — Taylor Swift

Blank Space (acoustic) by Taylor Swift

I can be a cynical guy, not least so when it comes to pop music. Taylor Swift started her career as a singer songwriter with folk elements, setting her apart from most other pop stars, but when she first dropped the guitar for albums like 1989, I figured it would be pure bubblegum and autotune from there on out.

Not so. Here’s a (relatively) recent video of her performing Blank Space, my favorite song of hers by far, at the Grammy Museum, showing that she still plays guitar, sings beautifully even without studio magic, and - perhaps coolest of all - that she isn’t too cool for the kind of small audiences that singer-songwriters come up playing to, many remaining on that small scale for their whole careers. I love that she prefaces the rendition with an explanation, a humored incredulity in her tone, of how the song was born: as a response to the media’s condescending creation of her infamous serial-dater persona. This is part of what has always made Blank Space great: it’s not just an immaculately written song - it’s satire.
