Taylor Swift has surprise Swifties by releasing The Fate of Ophelia (Alone In My Tower â Acoustic Version), exclusively on iTunes.
Her chart-topping lead track from The Life of a Showgirl has spent the past three weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and Official UK Singles Chart since its release on October 3.
Earlier this week, the Grammy winner released a new, acoustic version of the hit song on the music platform.
Taylor's acoustic version sparked mixed reactions from Swifties, with some suggesting there are too many versions, while others argued there can never be too many.
A user wrote on X, âNow that the 4th week at #1 is locked, she'll make the acoustic version available on Spotify and Apple this Friday to fight Golden's Halloween Netflix special boost. Taygenius never fails to amaze me.â
While another praised the pop icon, âOMG ANOTHER VERSION OF OPHELIA, I KNOW WHAT MY NEW SONG ON REPEAT WILL BE.â
âIn 10 yearsâ time, people will try to remember this album⌠and the only thing thatâll come to mind is how awful it was â the 35 versions released in a single week, and how she pulled the same stunt with the lead single. Because, when thereâs no art, thereâs always a trick,â a third argued.
To note, Taylor's latest album had already surpassed a record set by Adele's 25, achieving the biggest opening week in US history.
