Taylor Swift released a series of Instagram posts that offered fans an exclusive look behind the scenes of her upcoming music video “Opalite.” The images captured Taylor’s candid moments during the filming for her recent collaboration on the Graham Norton Show, showcasing footage from the episode where she appeared alongside fellow actors like Domhnall Gleeson and Cillian Murphy. In the Instagram story, Swift shared that now “I never want to forget a single detail of this hysterical shoot,” with excitement for what’s in store for fans.
The video featured an array of memorable scenes including shots of Taylor and Gleeson watching set footage on an iPad, gifting each other matching sequined tracksuits, and enjoying a laugh as they posed together during the mall escalator scene. This particular part of the music video was filmed at a real 1990s-inspired Croydon Mall in England, which underwent renovations to create a nostalgic theme park vibe.
Among the highlights were images of Taylor creating one of the cootie catchers seen throughout the video and gleefully laughing as she viewed something on an iPad with Gleeson. The pair also shared a playful moment as they posed for photoshoots together in the style of anthropomorphic rabbits, each scene adding to the vibrant energy of “Opalite.”
As fans eagerly awaited Taylor’s release of the extended versions of “Opalite,” these behind-the-scenes glimpses provided ample entertainment and kept them on the edge of their seats with anticipation.
