\n\tTwenty years before Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2018s \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d was recorded, a character named Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) was leaning into his uniqueness with a magnificently awkward dance routine, as seen in a memorable scene from the 2004 coming-of-age comedy Napoleon Dynamite<\/em>. His sweet moves were soundtracked by Jamiroquai\u2019s \u201cCanned Heat,\u201d but anyone who hasn\u2019t<\/em> seen the movie \u2014 and who happens to stumble upon the fan-made \u201cOphelia\u201d x Napoleon Dynamite mashup<\/a> making the rounds \u2014 just might think the choreo was meant to be paired with Swift\u2019s 2025 single instead. Because it\u2019s actually perfect.<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift fan @betterspiritsprintco on Instagram<\/a> posted the funny edit on Friday (Oct. 3), the release day of the pop star\u2019s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, which is already setting records<\/a>; as of press time on Sunday, the Instagram post has been liked by more than 63,000 Instagram accounts.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe video\u2019s caption: \u201chow it feels to listen to the fate of ophelia.\u201d The comments section unanimously agreed.<\/p>\n

\n\tFeaturing the aforementioned Napoleon Dynamite-dance moment, the edited clip shows the quirky protagonist getting his groove on to an audio clip of \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia,\u201d Showgirl<\/em>\u2019s opening track and first single (and the first song from the set to get an official music video, which dropped online on Sunday<\/a> after premiering at movie theaters on Friday during the box office-topping<\/a> The Release Party of a Showgirl<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\n\tSomehow, the timing of it all is just right. Napoleon hits his marks. Subtle reactions from the audience are spot-on.<\/p>\n

\n\tJust wait until you get to the moves synced to Swift\u2019s lyric \u201cI swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I\u201d \u2014 it only gets better from there.<\/p>\n
