Look what she made them do.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift fans are flocking to a German museum to view a painting of the Shakespeare character Ophelia that the pop star reimagined in a music video for a song off her new album \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video for \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia,\u201d which has already been viewed over 68 million times, the painting \u2014 housed in the Museum Wiesbaden<\/a> \u2014 comes alive and Swift stars as its subject, donning a white gown and lying on a bed of water lilies.<\/p>\n

The museum, which is located in the central German state of Hessen, welcomed hundreds more visitors than usual last weekend \u2014 as Swifties<\/a> swooped in to catch a glimpse of the over-100-year-old oil painting by German artist Friedrich Heyser.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are having an absolute Ophelia run at the moment and are quite surprised and happy about it,\u201d museum spokesperson Susanne Hirschmann told The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a shock, to be honest. We have a colleague who has a friend who is a Swift fan and she noticed the video\u2019s opening scene had a similarity [with the Heyser painting] and we thought, wow, what a coincidence \u2013 that\u2019s exciting \u2026 this is the first time we\u2019ve really had a run on a painting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot more teens than we usually see,\u201d Hirschmann added.<\/p>\n

She also can\u2019t help but wonder if Swift herself visited the museum back in July 2024, during her German leg of her Eras Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be truly insane!\u201d Hirschmann told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\"Taylor<\/span><\/div>\n

Taylor Swift\u2019s 12th studio album, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl,\u201d was released on Oct. 3. AP<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did ask ourselves: How did this come about? Did she pick the painting out? Has she seen it for herself? Was it a member of her team? I think if Taylor Swift came here, even incognito, we would have noticed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The museum is capitalizing on its newfound popularity by hosting a special tour called \u201cTaylor Swift\u2019s \u2018Ophelia\u2019 at the Wiesbaden museum\u201d on Nov. 2 \u2014 and those who dress as the billionaire songstress or her muse Ophelia can attend it for free.<\/p>\n
