Correction: it’s the Heyser Ophelia she recreated!

Krys | The Taylor Explainer @thetaylorexplainer.bsky.social · 4d

Tay pays homage to specific “showgirls” in the music video for The Fate of Ophelia!

Ophelia (Waterhouse version)
Grace O’Malley (pirate queen)
Esther Williams (underwater)
Marilyn Monroe (dressing room)
Ronnie Spector (Ronettes nightclub)
Brittney Spears (hotel party)
Ophelia (Taylor’s Version 😉)

I think it's from the People Magazine cover, supporting the article about the end of the Eras Tour, and the look felt intentionally "Rep" at the time.

Sinclair has vowed to continue to preempt Jimmy's show. I don't live in a Sinclair market but those who do need to hit the advertisers www.thewrap.com/sinclair-rep...

Sinclair Will Not Air 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Upon ABC Return Tuesday

The broadcaster, which has demanded an apology and Turning Point USA donation from the late-night host, will replace the time slot with local news programming

Thanks for inventing Fall, Taylor!

The words ALL TOO WELL in all capital letters over a road that cuts through a wooded area with leaves turning fall color.
