Graham Norton Lands Supporting Role in Taylor Swift's Whimsical New Music Video
Taylor Swift has enlisted the help of Graham Norton in her new music video for "Opalite", with the late-night talk show host playing a tongue-in-cheek salesman peddling a fictional reverse serum. The charming cameo marks a highlight of the whimsical, retro 90s-inspired clip, which also features Swift herself alongside actors Domhnall Gleeson and Jodie Turner-Smith.
In the video, Swift's character befriends a pet rock, while Gleeson's lonely protagonist finds companionship with a cactus before being brought together by a magical substance known as Opalite. Norton appears as a hawker of Nope-alite, a fictional reverse serum that promises to cure loneliness. The video is a showcase for the talents of Swift and her A-list friends, who all came together to bring this zany concept to life.
Norton has been a favorite among American stars, including Swift herself, who has appeared on his BBC chat show five times since 2013. This latest collaboration demonstrates Norton's growing appeal across the pond, with clips from his show frequently going viral in the US.
The music video is available now on Spotify and Apple Music, and will be released on YouTube later this week. With Swift's "Opalite" currently sitting at No 15 on the UK charts, it's likely that the song's chart position will continue to climb following its starring turn in this quirky, entertaining new music video.

the whole thing feels like a sweet retro dream

. Taylor Swift and Graham Norton just happen to team up for a music video? Coincidence? I don't think so... It's probably more than that.

That's just too convenient

Graham Norton as a hawker of Nope-alite? Genius! 
. Can't wait to see the YouTube release and Spotify playlists are gonna get flooded

. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be hilarious and totally on brand for Graham Norton - or maybe not? 
, I mean who else can make a cameo in Taylor Swift's music video and still manage to steal the show? The way he sold that fictional reverse serum like it was the real deal had me dying 
. The whole video is just so whimsical and fun, I'm totally vibing with the 90s vibe 
. Can't wait to see more collabs between Taylor and her fave hosts (aka me
