Fans then speculated that Swift was hinting at a residency at the unique venue\u2013\u2013something some Swifties have been wishing for and theorizing about for some time now.<\/p>\n However, in a few social media videos circulating showing stills or clips from the video, which was initially only viewable to those who went to see the companion release film in theatres October 3-5, keen-eyed commenters have flagged those fans’ folly: The sparkling dome is Science World.<\/p>\n So what is Science World doing in a Taylor Swift music video?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, given that the premise of Swift’s 12th studio album is a peek inside the behind the scenes world of a showgirl, with the “Fate of Ophelia” video showing the star as an entertainer on and off stage, the final scene of the video shows the boisterous post-show celebration that sends its star through the rooms and into a bathtub. <\/p>\n That’s exactly what Swift talks about having done night after night when she left the stage after The Eras Tour. And when do you throw a big party? When the tour is over. <\/p>\n And where did the tour end?<\/p>\n Vancouver<\/a>. <\/p>\n Those who attended the final night have more reason to celebrate: Swift confirmed the cheering crowd heard at the very end of the title track<\/a> was taken from Night 3 at BC Place in Vancouver. <\/p>\n The Science World moment isn’t the first time the final city of The Eras Tour has played into some of the post-concert Easter egging and Showgirl<\/em> talk; when the album was announced in August, a social media post by Swift’s official team, Taylor Nation, hinted that a “key” was lost in Vancouver<\/a>. <\/p>\n That mystery hasn’t entirely been solved, either. So far, Swift has not said what is to become of the three nights of concert footage captured by a professional film crew during the last three Eras Tour shows. <\/p>\n Could Science World (and the fact that if you line up the track titles and centre the text you get the shape of the Eras Tour stage, which is a key) being in the new video be part of the ongoing clue that the footage will be released as a documentary? <\/p>\n And why is there an orange bird on the window sill, too? <\/p>\n The mysteries continue to keep fans busy chattering and theorizing. Meanwhile, for anyone wanting to get a look at “The Fate of Ophelia” video, starring Science World (briefly), it dropped officially at 4 p.m. Vancouver time Sunday (Oct. 5). <\/p>\n
