I still can't hear "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift without hearing "Starbucks lovers" instead of "list of ex-lovers".

I just listened to this song on Youtube. Never heard it before, so I tried listening very carefully. I still cannot make out "list of ex-lovers". So strange that I cannot make out the correct phrase even after listening to that part over and over again.

I thought that's what she was saying! Like a modern take on "star-crossed lovers". Weird.
