The Prophecy x Delfos: como a Taylor reescreveu o próprio destino!

Taylor Swift's "The Prophecy" is (almost) a consultation with the Oracle of Delphi... maybe I got carried away in this video and told too many stories, but the connections between Taylor and Greek mythology fascinate me! In April 2024, Taylor Swift released the track "The Prophecy" on the album *The Tortured Poets Department*, where she asks for the prophecy that condemns her to loneliness to be rewritten... and in August 2025, she announced her engagement to Travis Kelce. Between those dates, I went to Greece, visited the Oracle of Delphi, and the damage was already done... I can no longer think of this song without thinking of the Delphic prophecies! ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Introduction: Heraclitus, Delphi, and the betrothal that “rewrote” a prophecy 01:47 - TTPD & The Prophecy: first verses 05:51 - Journey to Greece and Delphi 06:33 - Delphi: the navel of the Earth & the oracles of the Hellenic world 07:26 - The pilgrimage to Delphi, the Sacred Way, and the trembling goat (or not) 09:59 - Explaining: who was Pythia? 11:13 - Why prophecy is not destiny: Croesus, Athens, and the ambiguity of prophecies 16:05 - Approaching the end: was the prophecy rewritten after all? 🔔 FIND ME HERE TOO: Instagram + TikTok: @vicsmachado
