Taylor Swift Goes Berserk in Her New Video for | Marie Claire (US) |

Taylor Swift has released the video for "Blank Space" — and she goes insane in it. It's great.

The story starts out nicely enough, with an adorable cameo by Olivia Benson:

T-Swift meets a hot guy. He walks her around her lavish estate in a cape:

Dog breed, Property, Vertebrate, Photograph, Standing, Carnivore, Formal wear, Dog, House, Guard dog,

They ride horses together:

She paints his portrait, as ones does when one lives alone in a mansion:

She carves his name ("Sean") into a tree:

Nature, Human, People, Sleeve, Trousers, Coat, Standing, Photograph, Mammal, Formal wear,

Then things take a dark turn: T-Swift sees Sean texting while they're on a picnic. Maybe he was supposed to be spreading some peanut butter on an apple for her and she's hangry; maybe he was texting another woman. Whatever the case, it sends T-Swift over the edge.

She defaces his portrait:

Takes an ax to the tree.

Nature, Human, Natural environment, Hat, Photograph, Landscape, White, Summer, Horse, Working animal,

Stabs a cake:

Finger, Product, Comfort, Interior design, Room, Textile, Photograph, White, Sitting, Linens,

Cuts holes in his shirts:

Sets them on fire:

And smashes his car with a golf club:

At one point, she even stands on a horse:

Human, Vertebrate, Horse, Photograph, Working animal, Standing, Bridle, Halter, Horse supplies, Horse tack,

She wins.
