Taylor Swift Reveals "Opalite" Music Video Easter Eggs

Taylor Swift reveals how the 'Opalite' video uses fictional products to symbolize toxic relationships and features co-stars from The Graham Norton Show, following a real-life inspiration.

  • On Feb. 13, Taylor Swift released the 'Opalite- Official Music Video Extended Version' offering a behind-the-scenes explainer on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal.
  • Inspired by that late-night exchange, Domhnall Gleeson's quip `I'm hoping to get into one of Taylor's music videos` on The Graham Norton Show led to guest casting, including fellow show guests, in the 'Opalite' video.
  • Swift detailed the video's symbolism, explaining that `Nope-Alite is for people who want to choose to be unhealed` while `Opalite is for people who want to choose a path that serves them`, and she co-directed the clip with cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto.
  • The extended footage reveals that fans learned about Swift's interactions with Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lewis Capaldi, Cillian Murphy and Graham Norton and saw the Lonely Man and Lonely Woman's romance begin after they sprayed Opalite simultaneously.
  • Appearances in Swift's videos often boost performers' profiles, with past collaborators noting increased followers; the extended explainer underscores Swift's influence in attracting notable talent.
