The Life of a Showgirl (2025)
The Fate of Ophelia
I heard you calling on the megaphone
You wanna see me all alone
As legend has it you are quite the pyro
You light the match to watch it blow
And if you'd never come for me
I might've drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I
Right before you lit my sky up
All that time, I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (See it all)
Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundrеd on the land, the sea, thе sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you’re mine
It’s 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
The eldest daughter of a nobleman
Ophelia lived in fantasy
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions
The venom stole her sanity
And if you'd never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine
Pulling me into the fire
All that time, I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (See it all)
Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you’re mine
It’s 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
'Tis locked inside my memory
And only you posses the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
Locked inside my memory
And only you posses the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
All that time, I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (See it all)
Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you’re mine
It’s 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
You saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia

Taylor Swift's initial pose in her video is inspired by a painting by German painter Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Heyser (1857–1921).

The painting is exposed in the Wiesbaden Museum in Wiesbaden near Frankfurt (Germany)
