Taylor Swift's Opalite Music Video: Behind the Scenes at Croydon's Whitgift Shopping Centre

Taylor Swift had the idea to film her music video for Opalite at Croydon's Whitgift Shopping Centre while appearing on The Graham Norton Show. The star-studded video features Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, Lewis Capaldi, Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, and Jodie Turner-Smith. Taylor directed the video herself and Graham praised her calm demeanor on set. The video was shot in Croydon, London, and the US, with fans quickly recognizing the Whitgift Centre escalators. Local MP Sarah Jones and Labour’s Candidate for Mayor of Croydon, Rowenna Davis, also shared their excitement about the video. Taylor expressed her joy in creating the video and working with the show's guests. The song Opalite is from Taylor's album The Life Of A Showgirl, released in October.
