Like many of Swift's tracks, "Blank Space" is a song about love, but this one was written "from the perspective of the person the media paints" the singer to be, according to Swift.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- A video for Taylor Swift's "Blank Space," the second single of her record breaking new album 1989, leaked online on Monday.

Though the clip has already been pulled from virtually every site that published it, the video's director, Joseph Khan, called out Yahoo on Twitter for having released it ahead of Swift's plans to do so.

Like many of the singer's tracks, "Blank Space" is a song about love, but this one was written "from the perspective of the person the media paints" Swift to be, per what she told Yahoo earlier this month.

"You'll have people who completely get the joke and they're saying, 'Oh, look, she's completely taken back the narrative, and she's singing from the perspective of the person the media paints her to be,'" she said. "And then other people will be listening to it on the radio and thinking, 'I knew it! I knew she was crazy!'"

The video for the track seems to be a play on Swift's 2008 video for "Love Story" and paints her as an all-around man-eater. It places her in threatening situations like holding a knife in bed and hitting a car with a golf club.

Swift has yet to address the leak but the video has been officially released.
