About The Fate of Ophelia

“The Fate of Ophelia” is Taylor Swift’s lead single from her 12th album released in October 2025. The song takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s Hamlet character Ophelia, who drowns due to sadness and heartbreak, but Swift changes the ending. In the song, Swift sings about being saved from a similar tragic fate by a new love, who “rescued her from drowning in melancholy”. Instead of suffering alone like Ophelia did, Swift celebrates finding someone who pulled her out of darkness and gave her a happy ending. The upbeat dance-pop song became a massive hit, breaking Spotify streaming records and reaching number one in 26 countries.
