Taylor Swift released her new music video for "Opalite" on Apple Music and Spotify Friday morning. It features the five stars who joined her on "The Graham Norton Show" in October and is positively packed with throwback fashion moments. The video opens with an informercial-style intro hawking a "state-of-the-art chemical potion" called Opalite that promises better relationships with friends, lovers, co-workers and even pets.

Swift’s (brunette!) character is introduced as a loner whose deepest connection is with a literal rock, and everything changes when Domhnall Gleeson’s character — whose closest companion is a cactus — orders a bottle of Opalite and spritzes it at the exact same time as Swift, teleporting her straight to his living room.

Joined by her inanimate BFF, she tries a VHS aerobics workout, applies body glitter, hits a karaoke bar and makes friendship bracelets, all while modeling retro looks ranging from embroidered overalls to a neon windbreaker set styled with Reebok Club C 85 sneakers.
