Taylor Swift Drops Two Extended Versions of ‘Opalite’ Video With Hilarious Behind-the-Scenes Outtakes: ‘Never Want to Forget a Single Detail’

The bonus versions include Swift describing the genesis of the throwback clip.

A week after dropping the hilarious, retro ’90s video for “Opalite,” Taylor Swift is doubling down with two extended versions of the star-studded clip. In an Instagram post announcing the bonus footage on Friday morning (Feb. 13), Swift shared a series of behind-the-scenes screen grabs from the set, writing, “I never want to forget a single detail of this hysterical shoot, and now I don’t have to! Excited to share more of the ‘Opalite’ Music Video with two extended versions full of dance lessoning, our phenomenal cameos, camcorder footage, gigantic scrunchies & fanny pack angles!”

In the first extended cut, after the full official video featuring dance partner Domhnall Gleeson, as well as Lewis Capaldi, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Graham Norton and Cillian Murphy unspools, Swift pops up on old school TV explaining the genesis of the clip that had a real-life inspiration. “For like a year I was like, ‘what would I do for the ‘Opalite’ video?’,” Swift says, explaining that the idea for the visual she wrote and directed was hatched when she appeared on Norton’s British chat show in October with a panel that became the cast of the video.
