Taylor Swift has had quite a video weekend.

She charged fans 12 bucks to see her new video in theaters. Now “The Fate of Ophelia” is free on YouTube.

Already heading to 1 million views, certainly will five or six times that.

She sold 3 million albums to six people who collected everything as souvenirs. Reviews of “The Life of a Showgirl” are mixed, and some of the songs were lifted from previous hits by other people.

She also released four more CDs at bucks a pop.

What’s next? God only knows.

The video? Production gets an A plus. The uncredited editor, costumer, and production designer gave Taylor a motion picture level video. Cost? Millions, but who cares!

Get thee to a nunnery, Ophelia!
