Recently, Taylor Swift released a music video for her song, “Blank Space,” off her album “1989.” I have joined the rank of Swift’s followers, after playing “1989.” More than too many times. But that’s not the only reason why this video mattered more than any of her work to me.

The real message transcends the dazzling gowns (seriously, how many outfit changes did she go through for those four minutes and 33 seconds?) and the beautiful cinematography. It’s finally time to stop calling women crazy.

In the video, Swift is cast in two deeply contrasting acts: one moment she’s an elegant, charming girlfriend, and the next she is attacking the tires of her boyfriend’s car, mascara tears streaming down her face. Aside from the brilliant dark humor, the video illustrates jealousy, violence and the turbulence of an unhealthy relationship, and the music video invokes the pervasive concept of the “crazy girl.”

Sure, we’ve all had our fun poking at T Swizzle’s whirlwind romances, the ones that seem to last the lifespan of a fruitfly. “Crazy girl,” we all say. She’s jealous, overly sensitive, obsessive, and breathtakingly gorgeous. Of course, the crazy girl’s life takes its nose dive as her romantic interests dissipate into insanity and madness. Everyone takes the story as a cautionary tale as they shake their head and walk away.

Swift is the most recent celebrity darling to be cast in this social trope. She is constantly portrayed as a lovesick, little girl who is so fixated on her past relationships that all she can do to cope is write love song after love song, wailing for her ex-lovers.

And we’d think that “Blank Space” is another one of those songs– “Oh my god, look at that face/ You look like my next mistake/ Love’s a game/ Wanna play?”

Swift’s video harkens the tabloids, calling out their portrayals of her as “romantically insane and overly dramatic,” but the question remains: What exactly makes a girl lovesick crazy? And, why are women constantly being labelled as such?

We don’t all attack our ex-boyfriends’ cars with golf clubs, or burn items of clothing, but the fact remains– many girls are commonly referred to as “crazy.”

Serial relationships are nothing novel, but somehow society insists that any woman who goes through multiple partners is hysterical. They’re “crazy,” for being “overly-emotional”– no, let’s change that– emotional and open about it. But that’s not the only thing women are called crazy for.

Lady Gaga is crazy for her unorthodox outfits. “Zoey 101”’s Jamie Lynn Spears? Shunned for teenage pregnancy, while the father walks away free from judgement. And Megan Fox is labeled insane for her religious beliefs.

“Crazy” is just an easy way to check off the box and to simplify and dismiss multi-faceted and complex women.

We need to learn to creatively and accurately describe people’s personalities for the way they are, rather than pigeonholing ourselves into an offensive stereotype. For now, “crazy” ladies- Shake It Off.
