Taylor Swift releases ‘Opalite’ music video featuring Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi

Taylor Swift has released the music video for her song ‘Opalite’, featuring a star-studded cast including Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi. Set in a humorous 1980s-inspired world, the video follows Gleeson as a lonely man who brings Swift into his life using a magical potion on his cactus. Capaldi plays a photographer captivated by the couple, while Norton appears as a salesman claiming to reverse the spell. Other actors featured include Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, and Jodie Turner-Smith. The idea for the video originated from a conversation during Swift’s appearance on the Graham Norton Show, where Gleeson jokingly expressed interest in appearing in one of her videos. Swift quickly developed the concept and wrote the script, inviting all fellow guests from that episode to participate. ‘Opalite’, the second single from Swift’s album ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, is inspired by her fiancé, NFL player Travis Kelce, using the opalite gemstone as a metaphor for tangible, human happiness. The video was released exclusively on Spotify and Apple Music and will be available on YouTube after a 48-hour exclusivity period, likely due to changes in U.S. chart rules. Swift described Norton as ‘insanely charismatic and lovable’, and Norton called his role ‘the thrill of a lifetime’.
