""I had a bad habit of missing lovers past," she begins. "My brother used to call it, eating out of the trash." She invokes her mother, Andrea, in the chorus, sharing the wise words she once told her daughter. "It's alright, you were dancing through the lightning strikes," she sings on the uber-catchy hook. "You had to make your own sunshine, but now the sky is opalite.""
"On the bridge, she promises to weather any storm they may encounter together, given everything they went through before finding each other. "This is just a temporary speedbump, but failure brings you freedom, andI can bring you love," she sings, building to a gorgeous crescendo before emphasizing, "Don't you sweat it, baby." Given that opal just happens to be Kelce's birthstone, it's not a stretch to think that she's speaking directly to him."
Taylor Swift revels in a newfound romance and engagement with Travis Kelce on "Opalite." The song blends humor and poetic reflection as she recounts past relationships and family commentary. Twinkling guitar and synths create an upbeat, contemplative backdrop while she quotes her brother's jibe about post-breakup behavior and relays her mother's counsel about dancing through lightning strikes. The chorus reassures that creating her own sunshine led to a sky of opalite, nodding to Kelce's birthstone. The bridge reframes setbacks as temporary speedbumps and promises resilience, love, and the refrain "Don't you sweat it, baby."
