Blank Space

Unfilled waiting room

An area intentionally left empty, whether on a page, form, or surface: Fill in the blank spaces with your information.

The term often suggests a placeholder awaiting content.

Taylor Swift's 2014 song popularized the phrase as wordplay on her own name, punning on "blank space" and "Starbucks name."
