"There's no rest for the wicked - ahem, the Swifties. Taylor Swift premiered the music video for her newest single, "Opalite," from The Life of a Showgirl on Feb. 6. The video time-travels back to the '90s with old-school informercials, products, and Friends-inspired dances. And in true Swift fashion, the video is also full of Easter eggs."
"The singer incorporated many references to The Life of a Showgirl, including song lyrics as store names, friendship bracelets that nod to past albums, and appearances from every guest that she met on The Graham Norton Show in October, including Domhnall Gleeson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, Cillian Murphy, Lewis Capaldi, and the host himself, Norton. However, some eagle-eyed Swifties think that she also snuck in some clues that may point to her "Taylor's Version" re-recording of her 2006 debut album."
"At one point in the video, Swift shows off a sparkly pine green manicure, which just happens to match the color of her debut album. She's also wearing a butterfly ring, which was a recurring motif during the self-titled era. In a few different shots, a blurred-out TV guide magazine can be seen on Swift's living room bookshelf in the background."
