\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a>\u2018s \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d has been given the club treatment, thanks to a remix by the Chainsmokers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tOn Tuesday, Swift\u2019s official fan account, Taylor Nation, announced<\/a> on Instagram that the \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia (The Chainsmokers Remix)\u201d is now ready to download<\/a> on iTunes and Amazon Music. Quoting the song\u2019s lyrics, the account quipped that the reimagined version is \u201cwrapping around us like a chain, a crown, a vine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe DJ duo celebrated the drop in the comments, writing, \u201cThis is truly and honor. we love u T.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d featured as the lead track off of Swift\u2019s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and has spent seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. The video for the Shakespeare-inspired song premiered last month in\u00a0The Official Release Party of a Showgirl<\/a>, Swift\u2019s film which screened in theaters from Oct. 3 to Oct. 5.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Swift-directed and written video<\/a> begins with the pop star as the tragic heroine Ophelia from\u00a0Hamlet\u00a0in a painting on the wall of an ornate and lonely hotel, before it\u2019s revealed that it\u2019s a set. As Swift embodies a variety of showgirls from different eras, she\u2019s backed by dancers and the band from her Eras Tour. The glamorous spectacle ends back in a hotel room where Swift stars as herself in a bathtub, echoing the album\u2019s cover art.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Rolling Stone\u2018s review of The Life of a Showgirl<\/a>\u00a0praising the album, writer Maya Georgi observes that from \u201cthe first Fleetwood Mac-inspired drumroll and melancholy keys of \u2018The Fate of Ophelia,\u2019 it\u2019s clear Swift has stepped into uncharted territory.\u201d <\/p>\n
