"Taylor Swift surprised her devotees this week by announcing a music video for "Opalite," the fan-favorite third track from her latest album, " The Life of a Showgirl." The twinkling pop song is being promoted as the second single from "Showgirl," following " The Fate of Ophelia," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the chart for 10 weeks."
"The "Opalite" music video, released on Friday, costars Domhnall Gleeson ("Ex Machina," "Star Wars"), who publicly proclaimed "I'm hoping to get in a Taylor Swift music video" during their joint appearance on " The Graham Norton Show" last October. Swift wrote on social media that the throwaway comment gave her an idea, and she wrote a script for the "Opalite" video the very next week. She cast Gleeson in the starring role as "Lonely Man" opposite herself as "Lonely Woman.""
