Share this @internewscast.com

Taylor Swift’s latest music video for “Opalite,” with its distinct ’90s vibe, has taken the internet by storm. Now, the megastar is offering fans even more behind-the-scenes glimpses.

At 36, Swift took to Instagram to reveal a collection of photos from the video shoot. The images capture her in high spirits, sharing laughter and good times with Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, and the video’s cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto.

‘I never want to forget a single detail of this hysterical shoot, and now I don’t have to!’ Swift wrote in the caption.

“Thrilled to unveil more of the ‘Opalite’ Music Video with two extended versions,” Swift announced. “Expect dance lessons, incredible cameos, camcorder shots, giant scrunchies, and fanny pack perspectives!”

Swift, who is currently engaged in a legal battle over a trademark issue with a home goods company, urged her followers to check out Parts 1 and 2 now available through the link in her bio.

This Instagram post arrives just a week after the February 7 debut of her star-studded music video, which has set a new record as the most-streamed music video in a single day on Spotify.

One of the photos features Swift, Norton, and Gleeson looking surprised as they crowd around an iPad, presumably reviewing footage, with Prieto observing the scene.

Other scenes offered by the pop star featured her and Gleeson practicing their bunny dance moves in sparkly tracksuits while another photo showed the pair shooting the mall escalator scene.

The latter was filmed at the real-life Whitgift Shopping Centre in South London.

The photo carousel included Swift sharing a belly laugh with Gleeson while Norton looked off to the side straight-faced, and in another one, there was Swift sitting on the floor with a towel draped over her shoulders as a stylist worked on her hair.

In the video Swift plays a Lonely Girl whose only companion is her pet rock. That is, until she gets spritzed with Opalite and drops into the apartment of Lonely Boy, played by Gleeson, and his loyal pet cactus.

They fall in love and go on a ‘90s typical date to the mall and enter a dance competition among other fanciful things.

Norton played a salesman of ‘Nope-alite,’ the make-believe antidote to Opalite spray, which promises to banish problems and bring happiness and companionship.

The music video featured other notable cameos from comedian Lewis Capaldi, who played a tacky mall photographer, The Morning Show actress Greta Lee as ‘Indie Rock Goddess,’ and Jodie Turner-Smith as a Jane Fonda-inspired TV aerobics class instructor.

Cillian Murphy also lent his voice and image as the narrator and face of the magical Opalite spray.

Opalite is the hit single from Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl, which was released in October of last year.

In a post accompanying the music video’s February 7 release, Swift wrote that the idea came about during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show with the stars last October – and after fellow guest Gleeson mentioned he wanted to be in ‘a Taylor Swift video.’

‘My favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl,’ the singer wrote.

‘I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGrahamNortonShowOfficial… I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with. Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, @JodieSmith, and @LewisCapaldi. All people whose work I’ve admired from afar.

‘When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light-hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*,’ she went on.

Swift shared that she thought it would be ‘wild’ to get the other guests on the show involved in her pet project 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,’ Swift said.

She added that some of the folks from her The Eras Tour were also in it.

‘I had more fun than I ever imagined – Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters. Shot on film,’ Swift concluded.

The hitmaker, meanwhile, is also working on a more personal project – her summer wedding to Travis Kelce, 36. 

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement in August of last year with a picture of Kelce’s proposal in a flower-filled garden.
