Taylor Swift caused a huge buzz online on Friday with the release of her “Opalite” music video, which features all the celebrities who appeared with her on “The Graham Norton Show” last year.
The video contained more than just hidden details about the cast; many fans think it also teased the upcoming release of Taylor Swift’s re-recorded debut album, ‘Taylor’s Version’.
Taylor Swift started rereleasing her old albums in 2021 after a two-year conflict regarding who owned the original recordings.
Taylor Swift has re-recorded her albums Red, Fearless, 1989, and Speak Now. After regaining ownership of her master recordings last year, she may no longer need to continue releasing these re-recorded versions, often called “Taylor’s Versions.”
Taylor confirmed that her Debut album was fully recorded before she regained ownership of it, and fans are eager for its release.
Fans believe a new release is definitely happening, noting several hidden clues – called ‘Easter eggs’ – in her recent Opalite video.
A fan on TikTok pointed out hidden clues in Taylor’s music video that might suggest she’s relocating.
Fans first noticed Taylor’s nails were painted teal, a color they often associate with her first album.
A fan noticed that whenever the artist shows off her teal nails, she’s also wearing a butterfly ring. This is a subtle reference to her first album, as she wore butterfly earrings on the album cover.
This isn’t the only butterfly reference, though. She also wears butterfly clips in her hair and butterfly earrings in several other scenes.
One fan pointed out that the number 3 appears repeatedly in the video, and this might be a reference to an older fan theory connecting Taylor Swift to Shania Twain.
The idea stems from Shania Twain’s ‘Up!’ album, which was released in three different versions – Pop, Country, and Indie. A fan noticed Taylor Swift entering a recording studio wearing a Shania t-shirt in 2023 and speculated that Taylor might be planning to release three versions of her first album, similar to Shania’s approach.
The last hint involves a TV guide visible in the background of the music video. Fans have noticed Taylor Swift often uses ‘TV’ as a secret code for ‘Taylor’s Version’ when she includes hidden messages.
Taylor Swift revealed last year that she’s finished re-recording her first album. With the 20th anniversary of the album’s original release coming up in October 2026, many fans think that’s when the re-recorded version will be available.
People on social media also noticed possible hints, with many commenting on X (formerly Twitter) about butterflies appearing frequently in connection with Taylor’s upcoming release. Others pointed out that Taylor Swift is known for carefully planning details, suggesting any clues found in the ‘Opalite’ imagery are likely intentional and part of a larger pattern.
It’s happening! My baby is going to make their television debut in 2026! I always knew it was coming, and I’m so excited they’re ‘coming home’ to appear on TV!
The Opalite music video is packed with an unbelievable number of Easter eggs and hidden references!
Taylor Swift excited her fans by announcing that all the celebrities who joined her on The Graham Norton Show would be featured in her “Opalite” music video.
The idea hit her when she took a seat next to a slew of celebrities on Graham Norton’s red sofa.
Why not have everyone, including Graham, appear in the music video for her new song?
All six people invited—including Cillian Murphy from Oppenheimer, Harry Potter’s Domhnall Gleeson, and singer Lewis Capaldi—have accepted.
The new music video, which came out yesterday and has a nineties vibe, features Domhnall, age 42, as Taylor’s character’s love interest.
The story begins with Domhnall and Taylor each forming unusual connections – he with a cactus, and she with a rock. They eventually find each other thanks to a special spray bottle called Opalite.
Phillip Schofield, age 62, is featured in a commercial for one spray product, and Holly Willoughby, 49, appears in an advertisement for Opalite.
Lewis, age 29, portrays a photographer in the film. Greta Lee, 42, and Jodie Turner-Smith, 39, appear as images on vintage television sets.
Taylor shared on Instagram that the concept for her music video came to her while she was a guest on BBC1’s The Graham Norton Show in October.
The singer was present to publicize her new album, ‘The Life Of A Showgirl,’ featuring the song ‘Opalite’.
On Friday, she shared that while they were chatting on air, Domhnall jokingly said he’d like to appear in one of my music videos.
He’s Irish, so he was just kidding! But then, right in the middle of the interview, I suddenly had a brilliant idea.
The singer, who is engaged to NFL player Travis Kelce, also said she was thrilled that everyone involved with the show went all out to recreate the 1990s for her music video…
‘I had more fun than I ever imagined.’
