A German museum has become the latest pilgrimage site for Taylor Swift fans after eagle-eyed viewers connected a painting on its walls to the singer's latest music video.
At the Museum Wiesbaden, in the western German city of the same name, a painting titled Ophelia (circa 1900) by Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Heyser has suddenly become the centre of global attention. The rediscovery came after Swift released the video for her new single The Fate of Ophelia, the opening track of her record-breaking 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl.
