Lewis Capaldi has thanked Taylor Swift after she cast him in her star-studded Opalite music video as a photographer.
The singing superstar, 36, sent fans wild as she released her latest music video, in which every celebrity she appeared with on The Graham Norton Show last year made a cameo.
Taylor made an appearance on Graham’s UK chat show alongside Lewis, Domhnall Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Greta Lee.
During the show, Irish actor Domhnall made a jokey comment about his hopes to star in a T-Swift music video – which gave Taylor an idea.
One of the guests on the show to eventually cast in the video was Scottish singer Lewis, who portrayed a photographed snapping Taylor and Domhnall.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Lewis shared an array of snaps from the video captioned: ‘Thank you for having me @taylorswift ❤️x.’

Released yesterday, the Nineties-themed video stars Domhnall, 42, as the love interest for 36-year-old Taylor’s character.
The storyline initially follows their surreal relationships – Domhnall with a cactus and Taylor with a rock – before the two meet with the help of a ‘magical’ spray bottle labelled Opalite.
Graham, 62, appears in a scene promoting another spray, while Cillian, 49, is pictured in an advert for Opalite.
Lewis, 29, plays a photographer, while actresses Greta, 42, and Jodie, 39, are seen on retro TV screens.
Writing on Instagram on Friday, Taylor revealed the idea for the video ‘crash landed into my imagination’ during her October appearance on BBC1’s The Graham Norton Show.
The pop star was there to promote her latest album The Life Of A Showgirl, which includes the Opalite track.
‘When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light-hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos,’ she wrote on Friday.
‘He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an idea.’

One week after the show, Taylor sent Domhnall a script she had written for the Opalite video which would see him in 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,’ she continued. ‘Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory.’
‘I had more fun than I ever imagined,’ Taylor added. ‘Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters.’
Taylor said she was delighted that everyone from the episode – including talk show host Graham – agreed to appear in the shoot.
Her Graham Norton Show episode aired October 3, the same day her album Life of a Showgirl was released.
During the show, she showed off her engagement ring and was asked about wedding plans with her husband-to-be Travis Kelce.
‘You’ll know. I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning,’ she told Graham.
‘I think it will be fun to plan.’

Fans went wild for the new music video, with some said the ’90s retro vibe was ‘crazy’ as they loved seeing the songbird in the vintage outfits.
Her followers seemed to be obsessing over one item in particular from the long clip which sees her on a swing with a rock and also posing with aerobic dancers.
The item is an ivory sweatshirt with a cat on front. The feline is clinging to a tree limb.
‘I need this sweatshirt right now, it is meowfully wonderful, I am obsessed,’ said one fan on X while another added, ‘I am going cats*** over this top, please tell me universe where to buy it ASAP, I need this in my life.’
Taylor is a big fan of cats and even has a few of her own: Meredith Grey (Scottish Fold), Olivia Benson (Scottish Fold), and Benjamin Button (Ragdoll), named after characters from Grey’s Anatomy, Law & Order: SVU, and the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, respectively.
