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\u2019d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Like a school group project but for adults and it isn\u2019t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90\u2019s with us and help with this video.<\/p>\n<p id=\"af86fbb6-07d3-4592-ab91-ad085fce68d3\">The star-studded video for Opalite has already gone viral.

The next song from The Life of a Showgirl to be made into a music video, with fans spotting references to Father Figure, Swift&#8217;s fourth track on the album.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-ey9HuUsscJd9b37dLEP53R\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-ey9HuUsscJd9b37dLEP53R slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Celebrity news, beauty, fashion advice, and fascinating features, delivered straight to your inbox!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This was especially the case in one 90s scene, with a Faith vinyl and two posters on the wall of George Michael, with the singer renowned for his 1987 song Father Figure. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, Swift has even stressed his influence on her 2025 track, crediting the late singer as a co-writer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video youtube-facade\" data-nosnippet=\"\" id=\"2Shv-eeNmY4\">\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\">\n<div class=\"watch-on-iframe-2Shv-eeNmY4\" data-yt-video-token=\"2Shv-eeNmY4\" title=\"The Opalite video is out now.
