"The Fate of Ophelia" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released as the lead single from her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl , on October 3, 2025, through Republic Records. Swift wrote and produced "The Fate of Ophelia" with Max Martin and Shellback. It is a dance-pop, synth-pop, and funk song with a new wave groove. The track opens with a drum roll and minor piano chords, progressing into an upbeat arrangement of steel guitars, synthesizers, and Omnichord, over a driving bassline.

The song is partially inspired by Ophelia, a character who drowns due to madness from grief and romantic rejection in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet . It addresses an honorable soulmate who redeems Swift from a destiny of death like that of Ophelia. Music critics generally praised the musical composition and production elements of "The Fate of Ophelia" but were more mixed towards the lyricism. Commercially, the single broke the global records for the most streamed song in a day and a week on the streaming platform Spotify. It peaked atop the Billboard Global 200, spent eight weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100, and became Swift's first number-one single in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Swift wrote and directed the song's music video, which premiered as part of the promotional film The Official Release Party of a Showgirl . The video draws on various historical, cultural, and artistic inspirations of female performers, portraying Swift as showgirls throughout different periods of time and incorporating hints at other songs of The Life of a Showgirl. She worked with the cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, the choreographer Mandy Moore, and the production designer Ethan Tobman on the video, and cast her band and dance crew from the Eras Tour—the tour that inspired the album. Both the song's lyrics and video feature references to Swift's fiancé, the football player Travis Kelce.

Background and release

The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift created her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl , to reflect her triumphant state of mind amidst the success of the Eras Tour and her romantic relationship with the American football player Travis Kelce throughout 2024. [1] She announced the album during the August 13, 2025, episode of Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast New Heights ; "The Fate of Ophelia" was revealed as the opening track. [2] During the episode, Swift discussed William Shakespeare's play Hamlet , specifically the descent into madness and death by drowning of the character Ophelia, which influenced the album's cover artwork. [3] [4] [5]

"The Fate of Ophelia" was released as the lead single from The Life of a Showgirl. On October 3, 2025, concurrently with the album's release, Universal Music Group released the song to radio airplay in Italy, [6] and its music video premiered as part of the film Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, before being released onto YouTube two days later. [7] In the US, Republic Records released the song to hot adult contemporary radio on October 6 and to contemporary hit radio on October 7. [8] Throughout October, "The Fate of Ophelia" was released on limited-time CD singles and download (including the original, acoustic, and instrumental versions) [9] [10] [11] [12] and in December Swift released the song on a 7-inch vinyl. [13] Three alternate versions were released: an acoustic "Alone in My Tower" version, [14] a remix by Loud Luxury (including an extended one), [15] [16] and a remix by the Chainsmokers. [17]

Production and music

Swift wrote and produced "The Fate of Ophelia" with Max Martin and Shellback. The track was recorded at Shellback Studios and produced at MXM Studios, both in Stockholm, Sweden. [18] At 3 minutes and 46 seconds, [18] the song is a dance-pop, [19] [20] synth-pop, [21] [22] and funk track, [23] with a new wave groove. [24] The production begins with a drum roll and minor-key piano chords [25] [26] and progresses into an upbeat production driven by cascading synthesizers, steel guitars, Omnichord tones, and a driving bassline. [25] [27] [28] Swift's singing, mostly in her lower register in the verses, [29] is assisted by reverb effects. [27]

Critics compared the song to the music of other artists and Swift's past works. Several reviews likened "The Fate of Ophelia" to the music of Fleetwood Mac; [25] [30] [31] Slate's Chris Molanphy wrote that the opening drum roll evoked their song "Dreams" (1977). [32] According to Clash 's Lauren Hague, the song is a modern take on 2000s funk-pop, reminiscent of Duffy's "Mercy" (2008) and Adele's "Rumour Has It" (2011). [29] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the song evoked the British new wave duo Eurythmics, [24] and Ann Powers of NPR compared some production elements to those in Stevie Nicks's "Stand Back" (1983), Gorillaz's "Clint Eastwood" (2001), and Swift's "Wildest Dreams" (2014). [27] Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen of The Sydney Morning Herald opined that the track has a "darker tone" that recalls Swift's 2017 album Reputation . [33] Meanwhile, Jon Pareles from The New York Times likened the minor-key piano sounds to the production of her 2020 album Folklore. [26]

Lyrics

The lyrics of "The Fate of Ophelia" were influenced by Swift and Kelce's relationship. [34] According to Swift, the idea for the track came when she was in the studio with Martin and Shellback while scrolling through her list of song ideas on her smartphone. As Shellback was playing a "really cool chord progression", Swift came across the word "Ophelia" in her list and imagined a scenario where Ophelia did not go insane and die, but instead met someone who treated her well. From there, she conceived the hook, "You saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia." [35]

In the song, Swift's narrator pledges loyalty to an honorable and deserving man for saving her from a fate of "insanity", "drowning", "deception", "purgatory", and ultimately a death, similar to that Ophelia. [34] [36] [37] The tragedy of Ophelia is referenced in the verse: "The eldest daughter of a nobleman/ Ophelia lived in fantasy/ But love was a cold bed full of scorpions/ The venom stole her sanity." [5] The refrain depicts Swift's narrator as "alone in the tower", waiting for her suitor to come. [5] He then "dug her out of [her] grave", which rescued her from the tragic death. [35] The bridge ("'Tis locked inside my memory/ And only you possess the key") references Act 1, scene iii of Hamlet, where Ophelia tells her brother Laertes: "Tis in my memory locked, and you yourself shall keep the key of it." [38]

According to several publications, the song contains real-life references to Kelce, including his career as a footballer, his public declaration of affection for Swift, and his frequent use of the phrase "keep it one hundred". [37] [39] [40] Several interpretations of "The Fate of Ophelia" likened its narrative to that of Swift's "Love Story" (2008), which was inspired by another Shakespearen tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Both songs depict happy romantic endings, contrary to Shakespeare's original tragic conclusions; [41] [42] [43] Swift herself acknowledged that this was the second time, after "Love Story", that she attempted to rewrite a Shakespearean tragedy. [36] According to Serena Trowbridge, a scholar in Victorian literature, "The Fate of Ophelia" was also possibly inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite model and poet Elizabeth Siddal, who was the muse for John Everett Millais's Ophelia , which influenced The Life of a Showgirl's cover artwork. [5] [44]

Critical reception

"The Fate of Ophelia" received positive critical response. Several reviews selected it as a highlight on The Life of a Showgirl. [21] [45] [46] Various critics praised the composition and production elements as clever and bringing forth a catchy sound. [24] [34] [47] [48] Rolling Stone ranked "The Fate of Ophelia" eighth on their list of the 100 best songs of 2025, [22] and Billboard placed it at number 14 on their year-end list. [49] The New York Post named it the top song of 2025 on its year-end list. [50] Powers, Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the Financial Times , and Jason Lipshutz of Billboard complimented the transition and build-up from the piano to the bassline. [19] [27] [51] Lipshutz ranked it the second-best song of the album (behind "Ruin the Friendship"). [51]

Maya Georgi of Rolling Stone commended the "tantalizing" melody and "wondrous" combination of instruments, [25] while Matthew Dwyer of PopMatters highlighted the dynamic composition and "glamorous tension". [52] Georgi and Hague opined that the track embraced a new musical direction for Swift. [25] [29] Swift's vocals were also a subject of praise: Hague opined that her lower register enhanced the track, [29] Hunter-Tilney described her singing as having "characteristic commitment and charisma", [19] and Powers opined that her voice "has never sounded stronger", assisted by reverb that made her sound "massive and intimate at the same time". [27] On a less enthusiastic side, Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic commented that the song was "relatively strong, if unexpectedly downcast". [53]

The reception of the lyrics was not as uniformly positive. The Independent 's Roisin O'Connor dubbed "The Fate of Ophelia" a sublime song for its "literary flair", [54] and Hague commented that the track exhibited Swift's signature confessional songwriting with poetic verses and a tongue-in-cheek refrain. [29] Comparing it to "Love Story", Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote that both songs "[miss] the entire point" of the Shakespearean tragedies, but "that kind of writerly excess" still turned out engaging and "fucking rules". [41] In a mixed review, Carlos Marcos from El País praised the song's "original" production but contended that it was burdened by the "plaintive" lyrics. [55] Will Hodgkinson of The Times opined that although the lyrics were poetic, the analogy comparing Swift to Ophelia "doesn't really work". [56]

Several reviewers debated the progressive nature of the lyrics. Hunter-Tilney wrote that the lyrics conflating "doomed Ophelia with a Rapunzel -style figure waiting in a tower for a heroic lover" felt misplaced. [19] In congruence, The New York Times' Lindsay Zoladz commented that it was dispiriting that Swift reduced Ophelia to "just another princess waiting for her Prince Charming". [36] In a more moderate take, Trowbridge opined that the narrative of a female waiting for a rescuer was not progressive, but it helped explore "the public face of women" and their painful experiences, in the context of the overall album. [5] In Psychology Today , the psychotherapist Whitney Coulson wrote that "The Fate of Ophelia" captures the "emotional alchemy" of female pain in the context of patriarchy and popular culture, providing psychological insight into "how easily a woman's pain is rewritten as instability" through the use of literary archetypes. [57]

Commercial performance

On the streaming platform Spotify, "The Fate of Ophelia" broke the records for the highest single-day streams and the highest-single week streams, becoming the first song to accumulate 30 million streams in a single day.

[82] In the UK, "The Fate of Ophelia" debuted atop the UK singles chart with 132,000 first-week units, registering the largest first-week sales of the year and of Swift's career. [83] It spent seven non-consecutive weeks atop the chart, becoming her longest-running number-one song in the UK. [84] The single has been certified triple platinum in Canada, [85] double platinum in Australia, [86] and platinum in France, New Zealand, Portugal, and the UK. [87] [88] [89] [90]

In the US, "The Fate of Ophelia" became Swift's 13th number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting atop the chart with 92.5 million on-demand streams. [91] It spent eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Hot 100, tying with "Anti-Hero" (2022) as her longest-running number-one song. [92] After being made available for digital downloads, the single became Swift's record-extending 13th number-one song on the Digital Song Sales. [93] On the US airplay charts, "The Fate of Ophelia" debuted in the top 10 of Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Adult Contemporary. On Pop Airplay, it became the first song in history to debut in the top 10 region and subsequently became Swift's record-extending 14th number-one single. [94] [95] It also reached number one on Adult Pop Airplay. [96]

In December 2025, AI-generated songs featured a translated version to Portuguese, named "A Sina de Ofélia"," with voices resembling a duet of Luísa Sonza and Dilsinho. [97] It got into top 50 before excluded from streaming platforms. [98] This brought several legal debates about music generated by artificial intelligence and onwership rights. [99]

Swift wrote and directed the music video for "The Fate of Ophelia", which features dancers from the Eras Tour. On the video, she worked with the choreographer Mandy Moore and the production designer Ethan Tobman, both of whom had collaborated on the tour, and the cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto. [100] [101] The music video is played twice during The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, which also features behind-the-scenes footage from the production process. [102] Rehearsals took place within over three weeks, [103] and filming for the opening scene and the dressing room scenes took place at the Los Angeles Theatre. [104]

The music video opens inside the foyer of the Los Angeles Theatre before panning to a painting on the wall, the first of many depictions of various showgirls from different historical times. [105] Swift starts as a model for a Pre-Raphaelite portrait of Ophelia, in a similar vein to the Ophelia , an Art Nouveau painting by Friedrich Heyser. [106] Swift is then portrayed as a blonde burlesque performer in the style of Marilyn Monroe, a 1960s Ronnie Spector-like go-go dancer, a stage actress similar to Sarah Bernhardt, and an Esther Williams-type actress in a musical number in the style of Busby Berkeley. [100] [101] [102] [103]

Later on, Swift wears a dress made of rope and resembles Elizabeth Taylor before the scene transitions to a Bob Mackie-style showgirl routine, and finally a pop star at an afterparty in a hotel room. [103] [105] The end of the video features Swift half-submerged in a bathtub, an image which is featured on the album cover for The Life of a Showgirl. [101] The video features Easter eggs referencing other tracks from The Life of a Showgirl [105] [107] and moments from the Eras Tour, as well as Kelce. [103] Vancouver's Science World makes a brief appearance near the end of the video. [108]

Impact

Journalists described the release and success of "The Fate of Ophelia" as a cultural phenomenon. Sunil Thomas of The Week opined that "The Fate of Ophelia" has become an "unprecedented" global phenomenon, spurred by its "high art" references, inspiration from 1960s stage productions, and its adult contemporary musical composition. He also highlighted its viral dance on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. [61] Anthony Palomba, professor of business administration at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, said that the song's success did not rely on fan-driven pre-coordination or extensive advertisement, suggesting it came from "organic fan behavior, natural curiosity and mainstream media amplification." [109]

The video influenced fans to visit the Museum Wiesbaden in Germany, to view the painting Ophelia by Friedrich Heyser. Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Heyser - Ophelia.jpg

The music video trended at the number one spot on YouTube, receiving 25 million views within three days. [110] As reported by media outlets, the video influenced an increase of Swift's fans visiting the Museum Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden, Germany, to view the painting Ophelia. [111] [112] [113] Timon Gremmels, the minister of higher education, research and the arts of the German state Hesse, expressed his delight over the attention the painting has received: "When a music video gets people to visit a museum, it shows that culture works - on all levels", and extended an official invitation to Swift to visit Wiesbaden. [114] On November 2, 2025, the museum hosted an event featuring a guided tour of Ophelia, for which tickets sold out in a few hours. [115] [116] Attendees wearing outfits inspired by Swift or Ophelia received free admission. [117]

The October 18, 2025, episode of the American late-night show Saturday Night Live included a sketch featuring a parody of "The Fate of Ophelia", performed by the American singer Sabrina Carpenter, actress Chloe Fineman, and comedians Marcello Hernández and Andrew Dismukes. [118] The November 8 episode of the British dance contest show Strictly Come Dancing series 23 featured a tango performance by the British television personality Vicky Pattison and choreographer Kai Widdrington to "The Fate of Ophelia". [119]

On November 4, the official White House TikTok account posted a patriotic video of the U.S. president Donald Trump's administration with "The Fate of Ophelia", featuring images of the US flag and military, despite Trump's anti-Swift stance. Responding to Variety 's request for comment, a White House official said "We made this video because we knew fake news media brands like Variety would breathlessly amplify them. Congrats, you got played." The video received backlash from social media users and Swifties. [120] [121] The official social media accounts of NATO, [122] the British royal family, and the National FFA Organization [123] also used "The Fate of Ophelia" in their video posts. [124] The Prime Minister of Australia since 2022, Anthony Albanese, attempted the viral dance trend of the song on the Melbourne radio station Nova 100. [125] [126]
