"When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall [Gleeson] made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He's Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I'd written for the 'Opalite' video, where he was playing the starring role."
"In the video, which Swift wrote and directed herself, the pop star plays a lonely woman whose only companion is a pet rock. Gleeson, meanwhile, is equally forlorn, with only a pet cactus to keep him company. The pair are eventually brought together by a mysterious solution called Opalite. As Swift noted, the star-studded video also features cameos from other celebrities who appeared on The Graham Norton Show that evening, including Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi."
"Taylor Swift has released the music video for "Opalite" from her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Swifties everywhere can finally rejoice - but only if you have Spotify or Apple Music. For at least the next two days, the video is available exclusively on streaming platforms, and not YouTube. As Swift explained in a message posted to social media, the video was born out of her recent appearance on the Graham Norton Show:"
The 'Opalite' music video is exclusive to Spotify and Apple Music for at least two days and is not on YouTube. The concept began after a Graham Norton Show guest joked about wanting to appear in a video, prompting a script that included the show's fellow guests. Taylor Swift wrote and directed the video. The narrative follows a lonely woman with a pet rock and a man with a pet cactus who meet through a mysterious solution called Opalite. Cameos include Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lewis Capaldi, and Graham Norton. The song chronicles a public romance with NFL player Travis Kelce and themes of finding love after past heartbreaks.
