**Taylor Swift's New Video Features Vancouver's Science World** Vancouver's Science World makes a brief appearance in Taylor Swift's latest music video for "The Fate of Ophelia." This song is the lead single from her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl." In the video, the iconic dome of Science World can be spotted outside a window as Swift rushes by. This moment occurs around the three-minute-and-42-second mark, just before the video concludes. The four-minute video is filled with numerous scene and costume changes, showcasing Swift as a modern interpretation of Ophelia from Shakespeare's "Hamlet." At the beginning, Swift resembles a painting of Ophelia by 19th-century artist John Everett Millais. She then transforms into a burlesque performer reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, followed by a go-go dancer and an Esther Williams look-alike in a musical number inspired by choreographer Busby Berkeley. The video culminates with Swift at a party in a hotel room, where Science World is visible outside. The connection to Science World is not the only nod to Vancouver in Swift's recent work. The title track of the album, "The Life of a Showgirl," concludes with the sounds of a cheering crowd. Swift confirmed that these sounds were recorded during the final show of her 20-month Eras Tour, which took place at BC Place in Vancouver. During the same time as the Vancouver concerts, Science World hosted "Swiftie Days." This event featured activities themed around Swift, including a friendship bracelet station, sing-alongs, trivia, and sheet music for fans to play her hits on a giant piano. Swift's fans are known for analyzing her lyrics and videos for hidden meanings, often referred to as Easter eggs. "The Fate of Ophelia" contains several references beyond Vancouver. Notable items include a picture of her fiancé, Travis Kelce, framed in a mirror, a loaf of sourdough bread—reflecting her love for baking—and various classic paintings. Additionally, the hotel room number at the end of the video is 87, matching the number of Kelce's jersey with the Kansas City Chiefs. Science World has not yet commented on its appearance in the video.
