Taylor Swift fans 'burst with excitement' after Strictly spoiler revealed for next week
Taylor Swift fans 'screamed' on Sunday evening's results show after learning that Vicky Pattison will be dancing next week to the pop star's latest single - The Fate of Ophelia
After finding out that she was safe from the dreaded dance off, reality star Vicky Pattison was told what her dance and song choice would be for next week. Taylor Swift fans couldn't contain their excitement on Sunday evening's Strictly Come Dancing results show after learning that Vicky, 37, will be dancing next week to Taylor Swift's latest single - The Fate of Ophelia.
Professional partner Kai Widdrington started dancing as a small clip of the song played and sent Swifties into a frenzy online. One person took to X, formally known as Twitter, and wrote: "Arrgghhh not @VickyPattison dancing to The Fate of Ophelia, I screamed Strictly...doing Taylor Swift...and it's a race weekend, I may just burst with excitement".
Another fan penned: "Omg Vicky and Kai are dancing to Ophelia next week. My life for a month has been dominated by life and of a Showgirl", while a third chimed in: "As a Swiftie. I'm Super excited to see that Vicky and Kai are dancing to The Fate of Ophelia next week!! Let’s see this be an iconic performance”.
The track The Fate of Ophelia is the lead single off the album The Life Of A Showgirl which was released last month and features multiple references to her relationship with Travis Kelce.
She references a "megaphone", a hint at the fact he reached out to her by screaming it out into the world on his podcast, rather than going through the usual ways.
Speaking about the new album, she said: "One thing about this album that I think is really exciting is that oftentimes when I make a record there's like a lag time between when I made it and when it enters the world.
"Like for example, my last album, Tortured Post Department, by the time that album came out, I was in a completely different point in my life. With this one I would say that this album is a complete and total snapshot of what my life looks like right now."
It comes after Vicky burst into tears on Saturday night's Strictly after she performed the American Smooth with professional partner Kai. The dance, which was set to Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart, saw Vicky dressed as a white witch on theme for Halloween Week.
The dance went well and she received praise across the board from judges Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas, eventually scoring 31 for her efforts and even a standing ovation.
Not only was Vicky pleased her hard work was paying off but she was left in utter shock when Motsi predicted that she will make the final.
Motsi said: "A few weeks ago, I couldn't believe that you'd open our show. I loved the character play in the beginning, you did it so, so well. So for me, you are a contender for the final. Honestly. And I just want you to finish everything, make everything nice and clean."
Motsi's comment was met with cheers from the audience, and Vicky promptly broke down in tears of joy. Rushing over to be interviewed by Claudia Winkleman, her tears continued as she said: "I hated going first! Honestly, I loved this dance this week because for once I had a foundation to build on. I wasn't just starting from scratch and feeling so inadequate. I was just desperate to prove that I have improved."
