Taylor Swift has released the music video for her song 'Opalite' from her latest album 'The Life of a Showgirl.' The video, which premiered exclusively on Spotify Premium and Apple Music, features Swift portraying a lonely 1990s woman who befriends a pet rock and orders a magical 'Opalite' spray that matches her with a similarly lonely man, played by Domhnall Gleeson. The mini rom-com video also includes cameos from Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, Lewis Capaldi, and Graham Norton.

Why it matters

The 'Opalite' music video is the second visual from Swift's latest album, following the release of 'The Fate of Ophelia.' The song holds special meaning for Swift and her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, as opal is his birthstone and the song explores the idea of happiness being 'man-made' like the gemstone.

The details

In the 'Opalite' video, Swift's character befriends a pet rock and goes to karaoke bars before ordering the magical 'Opalite' spray, which matches her with Gleeson's character, whose best friend is a mini cactus. The two then go on dates at the mall and compete in a dance competition. The video features cameos from Jodie Turner-Smith as an aerobics instructor, Greta Lee as a singer, Lewis Capaldi as a mall photographer, and Graham Norton as an 'Opalite' salesman.

  • The 'Opalite' music video was released on February 6, 2026.
  • The video premiered exclusively on Spotify Premium and Apple Music and will not appear on YouTube until Sunday.

What they’re saying

“I have, like, favorite words, favorite phrases, things that I'll put in an endless file of lyrics that I'm constantly gonna let go and cherry-pick from when I'm writing. And I had written down the word opalite because I learned that it's actually a man-made opal, like opal can be man-made just like diamonds.”

— Taylor Swift (Capital)

“Travis's birthstone is an opal, so I've always fixated on that. I thought it was a cool metaphor. Happiness can also be man-made too. That's kind of what the song is about, that juxtaposition.”

— Taylor Swift (Capital)
