All the Easter eggs in Taylor Swift’s ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ music video explained

Best believe she’s still dropping Easter eggs.

Taylor Swift officially released “The Fate of Ophelia” music video online Sunday, two days after fans saw it in movie theaters for “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.”

The footage, as expected, contained numerous references for eagle-eyed Swifties to pick up on.

Before the footage even hit YouTube, theories circulated on social media about sourdough bread appearances, secret photos of Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, and more.

The song, notably, is the “Life of a Showgirl” album‘s lead single and opening track.

Keep scrolling to see what Swift set up for fans in the “Fate of Ophelia” music video.

Behind-the-scenes scoop

The “Fate of Ophelia” music video featured sourdough bread baked by Swift, which she confirmed in “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.”

During the loaf’s surprise appearance, it sat plated on a table, alongside a peach and a string of pearls.

Swift gushed to viewers that filming the music video was “a really important day for” her because, she gushed, “My bread is a star.”

The Grammy winner recently spoke about her love for baking sourdough and gifting it to friends during her “New Heights” podcast debut, even making bread puns for her most famous songs.

While promoting “The Life of a Showgirl,” the pop star gifted BBC Radio 1 host Greg James a lemon-blueberry loaf — referred to as “The Fate of Doughphelia” — during their interview.

Every Travis Kelce reference

Swift paid homage to her NFL-playing partner in “The Fate of Ophelia” video, which she released on his 36th birthday, mutliple times.

She started by catching a football and singing, “Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.”

The “Love Story” singer also included Kelce’s jersey number, 87, on a hotel room door.

In another music video moment, Swift and a few of her Eras Tour dancers got ready in a dressing room — and eagle-eyed Swifties noticed a black-and-white photo of the athlete affixed to a vanity mirror behind them.

Eras Tour callbacks

Swift incorporated her Eras Tour dancers into “The Fate of Ophelia” music video, including Raphael Thomas, Kevin Scheitzback and more.

Swift ended the video in a bathtub — an obvious reference to the ex-lover of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” character Ophelia, who tragically drowns.

But the moment also appeared to tie back to the singer post-concert ritual, as she previously said she took baths to recover from her physically demanding Eras Tour shows.

Swift previously confirmed that “The Life of a Showgirl” cover art is a reference to the famous 1851-52 “Ophelia” painting by British artist John Everett Millais, and that more references would be in the music video.

Additionally, Swift’s video began with a theater being cleaned after hours — and a cleaning cart could be seen off to the side.

The songwriter, notably, once confirmed that she snuck into her concerts by hiding inside cleaning carts.

A lookback at lyrics

Swift referenced multiple other “Life of a Showgirl” songs in the “Fate of Ophelia” music video, down to a film set clapboard and black-and-white movie poster.

The props read, “Sequins are forever, starring Kitty.”

The “sequins are forever” line came straight from the album’s title track, which also mentioned a character named Kitty.

Swift, similarly, sang in “Elizabeth Taylor,” “All my white diamonds and lovers are forever.”

Elsewhere in the music video, Swift referenced a lyric from “Wi$h Li$t” while in the bathtub with an Oscar on the floor.

Lyrics from the song read, “They want that complex female character / They want that critical smash Palme d’Or / and an Oscar on their bathroom floor.”

And in “Actually Romantic,” a diss track about Charli XCX, Swift compared the “Speed Drive” singer, 33, to a “toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse.”

Notably, the “Fate of Ophelia” music video included a tiny dog in a neighbor’s bag.

Sabrina Carpenter clue

Sabrina Carpenter collaborated with Swift in the title track of “The Life of a Showgirl.”

One scene in “The Fate of Ophelia” music video appeared to be a recreation of Carpenter’s Grammys performance this year, which was a theatrical mash-up of her hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”

Carpenter’s memorable performance included showgirl-esque Dolce & Gabbana costumes, setting the stage early for the Easter egg.
