"Taylor Swift managed to recruit every one of her fellow guests from an October booking on BBC's Graham Norton Show to appear in a star-studded new music video for her hit Opalite, the second single from her chart-dominating 2025 album The Life Of A Showgirl. The video, which debuted on Friday, features cameos from host Graham Norton alongside Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi as well as Irish actors Domhnall Gleeson and Cillian Murphy."
"Swift wrote on Instagram Friday that Norton was an insanely charismatic and lovable host and said she felt ridiculously lucky to have been paired with the other guests that night. When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos, she wrote. I was instantly struck with an idea."
Taylor Swift directed a 1990s-themed music video for 'Opalite,' the second single from the 2025 album The Life Of A Showgirl. The video features cameos from Graham Norton, Lewis Capaldi, Domhnall Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, and Jodie Turner-Smith. The concept originated during an October booking on Graham Norton’s show when Domhnall Gleeson joked about appearing in a music video; a script was emailed a week later with Gleeson in the starring role. Graham Norton appears as a salesman offering 'Nope-alite' to reverse a magic spell central to the plot. End credits replay the original studio exchange. The video premiered exclusively on Spotify and Apple Music with YouTube release delayed by 48 hours.
