The opening song on Taylor Swift<\/strong>‘s The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> references the character Ophelia from William Shakespeare<\/strong>‘s Hamlet<\/em>, who faces a tragic fate.<\/p>\n According to the song’s lyrics, Taylor “might’ve drowned in the melancholy” if she hadn’t been saved by her true love.<\/p>\n “I heard you calling \/ On the megaphone,” Taylor sings. “You wanna see me all alone.”<\/p>\n The lyrics appear to be a nod to Travis Kelce<\/strong> calling Taylor out on his New Heights<\/em> podcast for not meeting him at her Eras Tour, which is how their romance began.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I swore loyalty to me, myself and I,” the lyrics continue. “Right before you lit my sky up.”<\/p>\n Before meeting Travis, Taylor was fresh off a breakup from Matty Healy<\/strong>, having declared herself<\/a> one of the “independent girlies” in July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n But after Travis went to her concert in Kansas City that same month, sparks began to fly.<\/p>\n Now, Taylor’s fianc\u00e9 is even in on her Easter egg game, teasing “The Fate of Ophelia” lyrics on Instagram<\/a> back in July. (Had some adventures this offseason,” he captioned pics with Taylor, adding, “Kept it [100].”)<\/p>\n How does that connect to Taylor’s song? Well, as the lyrics go, “You dug me out of my grave and saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia \/ Keep it one hundred.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
