Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” Music Video Delivers Glam

Taylor Swift’s new music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” made its official premiere in movie theaters as part of the weirdly reverential The Official Release Party of a Showgirl. But now, you can see her full vision for the leadoff track from The Life of a Showgirl on YouTube, accompanied by 11 lyric videos for the album’s remaining songs.

The music video, written and directed by Swift (it says so in big letters at the end) showcases Swift embodying “showgirl” personas from across various points in history, including a pirate wench, a star of Busby Berkeley-esque musicals, and more tragic heroines.

During The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, Swift revealed that the video featured a happy reunion of the dancers who appeared on stage during The Eras Tour, as well as choreography by the renowned Mandy Moore and cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto, a four-time Oscar nominee for films including Brokeback Mountain and Killers of the Flower Moon. Also, it’s very important to know that the loaf of bread featured in one shot of this video was baked by Taylor herself.

Swift’s 12th album sold 2.7 million copies in just the first 24 hours of its release. Our own Wren Graves, in his review, compared it to “a breathless vent to a friend, with alternating spurts of warmth, nostalgia, anxious searching, and teeth-baring sneers.”
