days after fans saw it in movie theaters for \u201cThe Official Release Party of a Showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The footage, as expected, contained numerous references for eagle-eyed Swifties to pick up on.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Taylor Swift left Easter eggs galore in her \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d music video.TAS Rights Management<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><figcaption>The footage was shown in movie theaters on Friday before being released online Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before the footage even hit YouTube, theories circulated on social media about sourdough bread appearances, secret photos of\u00a0Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The song, notably, is the\u00a0\u201cLife of a Showgirl\u201d album\u2018s lead single and opening track.<\/p>\n<p>Keep scrolling to see what Swift set up for fans in the \u201cFate of Ophelia\u201d music video.<\/p>\n<h2>Behind-the-scenes scoop<\/h2>\n<figure><figcaption>Swift baked the sourdough bread featured in the music video.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><figcaption>The singer has spoken extensively about her obsession with baking sourdough bread and gifting it to her friends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The \u201cFate of Ophelia\u201d music video featured sourdough bread baked by Swift, which she confirmed in \u201cThe Official Release Party of a Showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the loaf\u2019s surprise appearance, it sat plated on a table, alongside a peach and a string of pearls.<\/p>\n<p>Swift gushed to viewers that filming the music video was \u201ca really important day for\u201d her because, she gushed, \u201cMy bread is a star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Grammy winner recently spoke about her love for baking sourdough and\u00a0gifting it to friends\u00a0during her\u00a0\u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast debut, even making bread puns for her most famous songs.<\/p>\n<p>While promoting \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl,\u201d the pop star\u00a0gifted BBC Radio 1 host Greg James a lemon-blueberry loaf\u00a0\u2014 referred to as \u201cThe Fate of Doughphelia\u201d \u2014 during their interview.<\/p>\n<h2>Every Travis Kelce reference<\/h2>\n<figure><figcaption>Swift caught and threw a football a la her fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce, in the video.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><figcaption>His jersey number also made a brief appearance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><figcaption>Eagle-eyed fans spotted a photo of Kelce affixed to the mirror in her and her dancers\u2019 dressing room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Swift paid homage to her NFL-playing partner in \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d video, which she released on\u00a0his 36th birthday, mutliple times.<\/p>\n<p>She started by catching a football and singing, \u201cPledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cLove Story\u201d singer also included Kelce\u2019s jersey number, 87, on a hotel room door.<\/p>\n<p>In another music video moment, Swift and a few of her\u00a0Eras Tour dancers\u00a0got ready in a dressing room \u2014 and eagle-eyed Swifties noticed a black-and-white photo of the athlete affixed to a vanity mirror behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Swift incorporated her Eras Tour dancers into \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d music video, including Raphael Thomas, Kevin Scheitzback and more.<\/p>\n<p>Swift ended the video in a bathtub \u2014 an obvious reference to the ex-lover of William Shakespeare\u2019s\u00a0\u201cHamlet\u201d character Ophelia, who tragically drowns.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Swift previously confirmed that \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d cover art is a reference to the famous 1851-52 \u201cOphelia\u201d painting by British artist<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>John Everett Millais, and that more references would be in the music video.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Swift\u2019s video began with a theater being cleaned after hours \u2014 and a cleaning cart could be seen off to the side.<\/p>\n<p>The songwriter, notably, once confirmed that she snuck into her concerts by hiding inside cleaning carts.<\/p>\n<p>Swift referenced multiple other \u201cLife of a Showgirl\u201d songs in the \u201cFate of Ophelia\u201d music video, down to a film set clapboard and black-and-white movie poster.<\/p>\n<p>The props read, \u201cSequins are forever, starring Kitty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201csequins are forever\u201d line came straight from the album\u2019s title track, which also mentioned a character named Kitty.<\/p>\n<p>Swift, similarly, sang in \u201cElizabeth Taylor,\u201d \u201cAll my white diamonds and lovers are forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the music video, Swift referenced a lyric from \u201cWi$h Li$t\u201d while in the bathtub with an Oscar on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrics from the song read, \u201cThey want that complex female character \/ They want that critical smash Palme d\u2019Or \/ and an Oscar on their bathroom floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in \u201cActually Romantic,\u201d a\u00a0diss track about Charli XCX, Swift compared the \u201cSpeed Drive\u201d singer, 33, to a \u201ctoy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the \u201cFate of Ophelia\u201d music video included a tiny dog in a neighbor\u2019s bag.<\/p>\n<p>Sabrina Carpenter collaborated with Swift in the title track of \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One scene in \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d music video appeared to be a recreation of\u00a0Carpenter\u2019s Grammys performance this year, which was a theatrical mash-up of her hits \u201cEspresso\u201d and \u201cPlease Please Please.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carpenter\u2019s memorable performance included showgirl-esque Dolce &amp; Gabbana costumes, setting the stage early for the Easter egg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best believe she\u2019s still\u00a0dropping Easter
