"The video follows Swift as a lonely woman wanting to transform her drab life. She purchases a bottle of a miracle spray called Opalite from a '90s-esque infomercial. Soon, she finds love with a new man played by The Paper star Domhnall Gleeson (one of several cameos from fellow guests on Swift's October appearance on The Graham Norton Show). Their adorably awkward romance culminates in a dance competition, where they perform in The Life of a Showgirl-approved orange and mint-green tracksuits."
"For many viewers, Swift and Gleeson's dance was reminiscent of Ross and Monica from Friends. In Season 6's "The One with the Routine," the brother and sister perform a ridiculous (but iconic) duet while angling to be featured on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. "The dance at the end of the opalite video reminds me so much of ross and monica's routine from friends and I honestly think that was taylor's dream," wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter)."
Taylor Swift wrote, directed, and stars in a glittery, playful "Opalite" music video. The plot follows a lonely woman who buys a miracle spray called Opalite from a '90s-style infomercial and soon falls for a man played by Domhnall Gleeson. Their adorably awkward romance culminates in a dance competition featuring orange and mint-green tracksuits. Swift described the production as an absolute thrill. Viewers noticed multiple pop-culture references, especially a resemblance to Ross and Monica's routine from Friends, and fans made edits pairing Friends footage with "Opalite" moments.
