Taylor Swift has released the music video for her new single 'Opalite,' the second track off her 12th studio album 'The Life of a Showgirl.' The '70s-themed visual follows the love story between Swift and co-star Domhnall Gleeson, with a message at the end hinting at Swift's upcoming wedding to her NFL fiancé Travis Kelce. The video also features cameos from several celebrities, and fans believe the lyrics take a subtle dig at Kelce's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.

Why it matters

The 'Opalite' music video is the latest development in Swift's personal life, as she prepares to marry her long-time boyfriend Kelce. The video's references to their relationship and the potential dig at Kelce's ex-girlfriend have generated significant interest and speculation among Swift's fanbase.

The details

In the 'Opalite' video, Swift and Gleeson's characters fill the void of a partner with a large rock and a small cactus plant, respectively. By the end of the video, the two get together, and a message flashes across the screen: 'Rock and Cactus married in a small, intimate ceremony after meeting through Opalite.' This appears to be a nod to Swift's own upcoming wedding to Kelce, who proposed in August 2025. The video also features cameos from several celebrities, including Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi. Fans have also speculated that the lyrics 'You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose' are a subtle dig at Kelce's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.
