- Taylor Swift dropped the music video for "Opalite" on Apple Music and Spotify.
- The celeb-packed video is full of Easter Eggs.
- Fans think they've figured out Taylor's next single thanks to sleuthing...
"Opalite" has arrived in music video form, and it might be Taylor Swift's best work yet. The video is essentially an early '90s-inspired rom-com about a "lonely woman" who's dating a rock (shoutout to its friendship bracelet) and then falls for a "lonely man" who's dating a cactus. It also stars literally every celebrity Taylor was on The Graham Norton Show with, and is packed full of Easter Eggs. Including, maybe, a hint about Taylor's next single.
Fans noticed that Taylor's room in the video features some posters of George Michael—which could be a hint that "Father Figure" is up next.
FYI, Taylor chatted about ideating this video in a lengthy Twitter post, saying the idea happened when she was on The Graham Norton Show and Domhnall Gleeson made a joke about wanting to star in one of her projects.
"A week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role," Tay said. "I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video."
Which is, yep, why this video has cameos from Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi, and—of course—Domhnall.
