“Bad Blood” singer Taylor Swift took to Twitter on May 22 to tell her fans that even her mother thought her hit song “Blank Space” has a line that says “Starbucks lovers.” The lyrics were co-written by Swift with Max Martin and Shellback.
The correct lyrics in the pre-chorus of “Blank Space” that have words that sound like “Starbucks lovers” are “Got a long list of ex-lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane.” On Nov. 10, 2014, Republic Records released the song as the second single from Swift’s fifth studio album “1989” after “Shake It Off.”
