<\/p>\n

\n

Sound the alarm: Taylor Swift just released a new music video for \u201cOpalite\u201d, the glittering love song from The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, and, well, it\u2019s a world away from the polished showmanship of \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia.\u201d Watch it now<\/a>\u2014and see all the questions I had upon my jaw-on-the-floor first viewing below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is this ad? Am I watching the correct thing?<\/li>\n
  2. Why is this just on Spotify and Apple Music and not on YouTube? (Oh, it\u2019s to rack up the streams isn\u2019t it?)<\/li>\n
  3. Is the Opalite spray in The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>\u2019s album colors, orange and oxidised green? Classic.<\/li>\n
  4. This living room is somehow so Taylor coded?<\/li>\n
  5. Taylor in a scrunchie? Never thought I\u2019d see the day.<\/li>\n
  6. And she\u2019s brunette?!<\/li>\n
  7. Is this supposed to be shot like a Wes Anderson movie?<\/li>\n
  8. There\u2019s something very cozy and \u201900s about all of this?<\/li>\n
  9. Friendship bracelets?!!!<\/li>\n
  10. Is that a George Michael poster on her bedroom wall?<\/li>\n
  11. And is that a nod to \u201cFather Figure\u201d from The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>? Of course it is.<\/li>\n
  12. I wonder what Taylor sings when she does karaoke? Does she even do karaoke?<\/li>\n
  13. Greta Lee on MTV?<\/li>\n
  14. Is that the Eras Tour dancer Raphael Thomas as the bartender?<\/li>\n
  15. And Eras Tour dancer Natalie Reid as the girl who takes the seat next to Taylor?<\/li>\n
  16. Has Taylor ordered Cosmos? (Again: of course<\/em>.)<\/li>\n
  17. Is Taylor a Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha?<\/li>\n
  18. Jodie Turner-Smith as a fitness instructor?<\/li>\n
  19. Domhnall Gleeson as Taylor\u2019s other half?!<\/li>\n
  20. Isn\u2019t that Eras Tour dancer Kevin Scheitzbach as the ticket office person?<\/li>\n
  21. Is this the most British Christmas set-up ever?<\/li>\n
  22. And now they\u2019re together!!!??<\/li>\n
  23. Lewis Capaldi is the photographer?<\/li>\n
  24. Is this Starcourt Mall from Stranger Things<\/em>?<\/li>\n
  25. Is this the weirdest music video Taylor\u2019s ever made?<\/li>\n
  26. Nothing says love like matching pretzels, I guess?<\/li>\n
  27. And Graham Norton, too!? Oh, this is everyone Taylor was on the Graham Norton sofa with, right?<\/li>\n
  28. And are those Eras Tour dancers Sam McWilliams and Whyley Yoshimura talking to Graham?<\/li>\n
  29. And Cillian Murphy in an ad?<\/li>\n
  30. This sparkly dance number is unexpected?<\/li>\n
  31. Is this literally a town hall dance competition?<\/li>\n
  32. Who else could judge this but Eras Tour dancer Kameron Saunders?<\/li>\n
  33. What is this bizarre end credit about where the rock and cactus are now?<\/li>\n
  34. Is this the best free publicity for Domhnall Gleeson\u2019s The Paper<\/em>?<\/li>\n
  35. What projects were Jodie and Greta promoting again?<\/li>\n
  36. Oh, wow, Cillian did the Opalite ad voiceover, too? I guess that\u2019s what you do after you win an Oscar.<\/li>\n
  37. How soon after this episode did Taylor approach them all to do this? Truly a mastermind.<\/li>\n
  38. Is this proof that Taylor still is and will always be an Anglophile?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
