Music critics generally selected "The Fate of Ophelia" as one of the strongest, catchiest songs on The Life of a Showgirl, praising its composition, hook, and vocal performance. The single broke the global records for the most streamed song in a day and a week on the streaming platform Spotify. It topped the record charts in 30 territories across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, as well as the Billboard Global 200 chart. In the United States, it marked Swift's 13th number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.
Swift wrote and directed the music video, which premiered as part of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, an album launch and event film released in cinema theaters on the same day as the album. The album's standard cover artwork was inspired by artistic depictions of Ophelia's death, particularly John Everett Millais's 1850s painting Ophelia, where the character is portrayed as lying in a body of water before drowning.
