Swifties Flood German Museum

A German museum has been overrun by Taylor Swift fans due to a painting that resembles a scene from her video "The Fate of Ophelia".

The Hessische Landesmuseum in Wiesbaden saw hundreds of additional visitors over the weekend, including a family from Hamburg and many American families stationed at a US base.

The visitors came to see an Art Nouveau painting by Friedrich Heyser featuring Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
