She appears as Shakespeare\u2019s Ophelia, a Golden Age Hollywood star, a 1960s girl group singer, and her modern showgirl persona. The story imagines Ophelia breaking free from her tragic fate, with nods to cultural icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Ronnie Spector.<\/p>\n<p><iframe scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"62\" awidth=\"320\" aheight=\"62\" amplayout=\"fixed\" src=\"https:\/\/akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com\/sites\/indiatoday\/banner\/preferred-source-new.html?v=1.014\" class=\"preferred-source-banner\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The video begins with Swift emerging from a recreation of Sir John Everett Millais\u2019s famous painting of Ophelia\u2019s drowning.

Even though it was at the weirdest angle, I\u2019m just like, \u2018That\u2019s the cover.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added, &#8220;It represents that after all the hard work, the shows, the warm-ups, and everything that could go wrong, you finally get back and take a bath.
