Chris Jones vibes to Taylor Swift’s song at press conference
In the clip circulating online, Jones enters the press conference room with the background bursting with “The Fate of Ophelia,” a song by Swift from her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. As he heads towards the mic to address the media, he can be seen jamming to the song.
He smiles big and vibes to the lyrics, “Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky.” Then, he stops and takes a moment to ask the media how everybody is doing. After the press conference concludes, one person from the crowd asks him which song he was vibing to earlier. He responds, “The fate of Ophelia.” As the crowd chatters, Jones leaves the room while continuing to play the song on his phone.
Fans took to social media platforms to react to the clip. Their comments included, “Goat recognizes goat,” “cute,” and “Awwwwwwwwwww his smile was magic!!!!! This was so nice to see!!!!”
In conversation with Heart UK, the ‘Reputation’ singer spoke about what inspired her to choose the iconic Shakespeare character Ophelia from Hamlet for her song. She said, “She was driven mad by love. And so the play on it, the hook is like, someone comes into your life and rescues you from the fate of being driven mad by love.”
In another interview with Hits Radio, Swift revealed that she’s fond of Shakespearean characters and doesn’t mind using them as a base for her songs. “I have this fixation on Shakespeare characters that I love and I can’t stand to see them meet a tragic demise,” she explained.
