See all the stars who made cameos



Taylor Swift has tapped some famous friends for her latest music video. 

On Friday, the 14-time Grammy winner dropped the ’90s-themed visuals for her song “Opalite” on Apple Music and Spotify. Written and directed by Swift, the clip sees the singer fall in love with a fellow loner (Domhnall Gleeson) after spraying herself with a love potion fittingly called Opalite. 

In an Instagram post, Swift revealed that she got the idea for the video after Gleeson joked about wanting to be cast in one of her music videos on The Graham Norton Show last October.

“He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*,” Swift wrote. “And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the ‘Opalite’ video, where he was playing the starring role.”

She also extended the invitation to the other stars on the show that evening. “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,” she continued. “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.”

Television host Graham Norton also gets his own moment to shine as a mall employee peddling Nope-alite, which reverses Opalite’s effects. He sprays a young man with the potion and nearly gets Swift before Gleeson swan dives and knocks the bottle out of his hands.
