Here's how to watch Taylor Swift's Opalite music video featuring Lewis Capaldi, Domhnall Gleeson and more
Domhnall Gleeson, Graham Norton, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi all appear in the Opalite music video.
Taylor Swift has released the star studded music video for her song Opalite, which features cameos from a number of famous faces including Lewis Capaldi.
The video opens with a 90s style infomercial, before the song begins with Swift seen sitting at home and unboxing her new pet rock.
She then ventures to a bar where the celebrity cameos begin rolling in, with Swifties quick to notice that those who pop up also appeared alongside her on The Graham Norton Show last October.
Swift said that a joke Domhnall Gleeson made while on the show gave her the idea involving him and their fellow guests - Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi - as well as Norton himself.
If you’re among those who haven’t seen the Opalite video yet, here’s how you can watch from home.

What is the Opalite music video about?
Greta Lee can be seen singing on the bar’s TV screen, with Jodie Turner-Smith hosting a workout show, while Domhnall Gleeson’s toxic relationship with his cactus leads him to order “Opalite”, the spray advertised in the video’s introduction.
After using the product, Swift appears in his home with the two embarking on a relationship - marked by a cheesy photoshoot in the mall with Lewis Capaldi as the photographer.
Cillian Murphy also appears, with eagle eyed fans spotting him as the face of an Opalite advertisement.
In a post on social media, Swift explained that her idea came following her time on Graham Norton after Gleeson made a joke about appearing in one of her music videos.
Fans can even spot her develop the idea in real time, with a clip from the show included at the end.
She said: “He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role.
“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.
“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.”
