The opening song on Taylor SwiftIt is The life of a showgirl refers to the character of Ophélie from William ShakespeareIt is Hamletwho faces a tragic fate.
According to the song’s lyrics, Taylor “could have drowned in melancholy” if she hadn’t been saved by her true love.
“I heard you calling / On the megaphone,” Taylor sings. “You want to see me alone.”
The lyrics seem to be a nod to Travis Kelce calling Taylor on her New heights podcast for not meeting him on his Eras tour, which is how their romance began.
“I swore loyalty to myself and myself,” the lyrics continue. “Just before you lit up my sky.”
Before meeting Travis, Taylor had just broken up with Matty Healyhaving declared herself among the “independent girlies” in July 2023.
But after Travis went to his concert in Kansas City that same month, sparks started to fly.
Now, Taylor’s fiancée is even getting in on her Easter egg game, teasing the lyrics to “The Fate of Ophelia” on Instagram in July. (Had a few flings in the offseason,” he captioned the photos with Taylor, adding, “I kept it (100).”)
What does this have to do with Taylor’s song? Well, as the lyrics say, “You pulled me from my grave and saved my heart from Ophelia’s fate/Keep it a hundred.”
