People are just realizing they’ve been singing Blank Space all wrong – the real lyrics of the Taylor Swift hit
TAYLOR Swift has been a pop music icon for over a decade with some fans committing her entire repertoire to heart.
But some people have just realized that they may have some of the lyrics to her 2014 hit single Blank Space all wrong.
Songs have the ability to make us feel incredibly deep emotions through words and a good pop melody.
Though sometimes they may not always be the easiest to understand.
A 2022 Buzzfeed article shed some light on incorrect song lyrics from popular top melodies, such as Taylor Swift’s 2014 hit single Blank Space.
Apparently, there is one signature phrase that people have been saying wrong for almost a decade.
A member of the BuzzFeed Community shared what they thought they misheard and what were the correct lyrics from the tune.
Spoiler alert: It has to do with a popular coffee chain.
“Of course, we have to include the ‘Starbucks lovers’ in Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space.’ I don’t know what I hear, but it’s not ‘long list of ex-lovers’,” wrote user goldenmug54.
To further explain, many people, including myself thought that these words: “If the high was worth the pain / Got a long list of ex-lovers” sounded like something else entirely in Swift’s ballad.
For many others, “long list of ex-lovers” actually sounded more like the satirical statement “Starbucks lovers.”
The article also revealed several other popular tracks that had misheard lyrics, such as Charlie Puth‘s Attention, Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer, and more.
