Taylor Swift casts Graham Norton in new Opalite music video
Taylor Swift has cast Graham Norton in the music video for Opalite, the second single from her album The Life of a Showgirl to receive music video treatment after The Fate of Ophelia. Norton appears alongside the guests who sat with Swift on his show in October 2025: Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith and Lewis Capaldi.
The whimsical, fantastical video, produced with a retro 90s aesthetic, is written and directed by Swift. Her lonely character befriends a pet rock, while Gleeson’s equally lonely character bonds with a cactus before a magical spray-on Opalite brings them together.
Norton plays a salesman hawking Opalite; Turner-Smith is a fitness instructor; Lee mimes as a fictional singer-songwriter on MTV; Capaldi plays a mall photographer. Cillian Murphy does not act in the video but appears as a billboard image and provides a voiceover.
