When will Taylor Swifts The Fate of Ophelia music video be on YouTube?

By
Taylor Swift at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Taylor Swift loves a good mystery.

From the countless Easter eggs she drops for fans to releasing albums like The Life of a Showgirl without any singles ahead of time, Swift tends to shield her next moves in cloak-and-dagger secrecy. Now that secrecy has extended to her upcoming music video for The Life of a Showgirl's Shakespeare-inspired lead single, "The Fate of Ophelia."

For her past two non-rerecorded albums, Swift released videos for her lead singles — Midnights' "Anti-Hero" and The Tortured Poets Department's "Fortnight" — on YouTube on the same day as their album's release. For "The Fate of Ophelia," though, fans will have to go to movie theaters first to experience Swift's next music video, where it's playing as part of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl. Running from Oct. 3 to Oct. 5, the 89-minute long film also features behind-the-scenes footage of "The Fate of Ophelia" video, breakdowns of The Life of a Showgirl's songs, and brand-new lyric videos.

But when will fans who can't make The Official Release Party of a Showgirl be able to see "The Fate of Ophelia"?

When does "The Fate of Ophelia" premiere on YouTube?

Written and directed by Swift, "The Fate of Ophelia" music video premieres on YouTube Sunday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. ET. The release coincides with Swift's fiancé Travis Kelce's 36th birthday.

In the song, Swift sings about how Kelce saved her heart from the fate of Hamlet's tragic heroine Ophelia, who is driven mad when Hamlet spurns her, then drowns. Fittingly, in the pre-chorus, Swift sings, "If you'd never come for me / I might've drowned in the melancholy."

The Swift-Ophelia connection doesn't just stop with "The Fate of Ophelia," though. The album cover of The Life of a Showgirl, which sees Swift partially submerged in water, is a reference to painter John Everett Millais' 19th-century painting "Ophelia," which depicts Ophelia lying in a river.

According to Swift's interview with BBC Radio 1, "The Fate of Ophelia" music video was also inspired Millais' painting, bringing the Ophelia reference full circle.

The Official Release Party of a Showgirl is in theaters from Oct. 3 to Oct. 5.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

Watch Aidy Bryant *completely* lose it as 'SNL' roasts political pundits

By
On Saturday Night Live , there are breaks and then there's whatever happened here. The Season 45 premiere featured a sketch that was meant to expose the empty noisemaking of political punditry on TV. But part of the joke involved a series of quick costume changes, and some weirdness during one of those switches led to a complete and total breakdown. Aidy Bryant, the segment's host, couldn't take it. She manages to keep it together until what appears to be an accidental wide shot exposes some of the magic as we see a woman who's probably a member of the SNL wardrobe crew fiddling with Aidy's costume.

California Gov. Newsom vetoes bill SB 1047 that aims to prevent AI disasters

By
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed bill SB 1047, which aims to prevent bad actors from using AI to cause "critical harm" to humans. The California state assembly passed the legislation by a margin of 41-9 on August 28, but several organizations including the Chamber of Commerce had urged Newsom to veto the bill . In his veto message on Sept. 29, Newsom said the bill is "well-intentioned" but "does not take into account whether an Al system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it."  SB 1047 would have made the developers of AI models liable for adopting safety protocols that would stop catastrophic uses of their technology. That includes preventive measures such as testing and outside risk assessment, as well as an "emergency stop" that would completely shut down...
