( CNN ) -- Brava for having a sense of humor , Taylor Swift . The singer has released the video for her new song `` Blank Space , '' in which she plays a crazy version of herself taking revenge on a boyfriend . The single is a clever take on Swift 's reputation for working out her relationships with exes via song lyrics . She sings : . `` Got a long list of ex-lovers . They 'll tell you I 'm insane . But I 've got a blank space , baby . And I 'll write your name '' The video shows the star and her handsome beau falling in love . There are romantic dates as the pair romp within and around a palatial mansion . But then things go horribly wrong , and Swift begins destroying everything from his clothes to his sports car . And fans get to not only enjoy a different type of Swift , they can take the experience one step further with an app . The `` Blank Space '' app allows viewers to follow along with the music video , placing them in the room with Swift and her co-star for an interactive experience -- with some fun extras . According to Forbes , the app includes `` other characters who do n't actually appear in the official video . '' `` The butler , the artist and the gardener all have their own storylines ( small as they may be ) , and you can choose to walk around with them while listening to 'Blank Space , ' `` Forbes reported . `` On top of that -- and perhaps more importantly -- are the Swift-related objects scattered throughout the set , just waiting to be found . '' Acclaimed music video director Joseph Kahn helmed `` Blank Space '' and told Rolling Stone it was meant to offer a `` deconstructivist version of Taylor Swift . '' `` She knows that there 's this meme that if you date Taylor Swift , you 're going to end up getting a song written about you , '' Kahn said . `` She wanted to address that . ''
Swift plays an unhinged version of herself in her latest video . The clip shows the singer sitting on a couch with a bottle of vodka and a glass of wine while she sings about how much she's been drinking. The director says she wanted to address criticism about her relationships .
