The star explained that Opalite had always sounded very ‘commercial-like’ to her, hence the inspiration for the video<\/p>\n

The storyline initially follows their surreal relationships \u2013 Domhnall with a cactus and Taylor with a rock \u2013 before the two meet with the help of a \u2018magical\u2019 spray bottle labelled Opalite.<\/p>\n

Graham, 62, appears in a scene promoting another spray, while Cillian, 49, is pictured in an advert for Opalite.<\/p>\n

Writing on Instagram on Friday, Swift revealed the idea for the video \u2018crash landed into my imagination\u2019 during her October appearance on BBC1\u2019s The Graham Norton Show.<\/p>\n

The pop star was there to promote her latest album The Life Of A Showgirl, which includes the Opalite track.<\/p>\n

\u2018When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light-hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos,\u2019 she wrote on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an idea.\u2019<\/p>\n

The singer, who is engaged to American football player Travis Kelce, added: \u2018To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the Nineties with us and help with this video… I had more fun than I ever imagined.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift sent fans into a frenzy when she released her latest music video Opalite last week, featuring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,98,88,2726],"class_list":["post-466847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
