As Swift promises, the new cuts are \u201cfull of dance lessons, our phenomenal cameos, camcorder footage, gigantic scrunchies &amp; fanny pack angles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn part one of the extended version, Swift shares more details on how she conjured up the idea for the video while on <em>The Graham Norton Show<\/em> with a star-studded cast made up of Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, Lewis Capaldi, and even Graham Norton himself. It\u2019s revealed that Murphy wasn\u2019t present for filming, but was there \u201cin spirit\u201d as a poster in the fake mall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tDuring the cast\u2019s appearance on The Graham Norton Show back in October, Gleeson boldly joked, \u201cI\u2019m hoping to get in a Taylor Swift music video.\u201d The extended version shows Lee, Turner-Smith, and Capaldi reflect on that kismet moment. \u201cThank god because I think we were all thinking it,\u201d Turner-Smith says as she\u2019s dressed in her aerobics instructor costume. Meanwhile, Gleeson couldn\u2019t believe that moment had traction. He recalls someone asking him after the fact, \u201c\u2018 Did you see Taylor\u2019s face after you said that?\u2019\u2026 I was like, \u2018There\u2019s no way she\u2019s thinking about it,&#8217;\u201d he says. Well, yes, she totally was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tDespite Gleeson throwing his hat in for a role in Swift\u2019s music video, he is very shocked when the pop star informs him he has to actually dance in the video. \u201cThis dance thing is new. I want everyone to know that,\u201d he says in the behind-the-scenes footage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThroughout part one, Taylor revels in her brunette hair. \u201cHonestly, my best look ever,\u201d she says while holding a camcorder. She\u2019s also seen practicing the video\u2019s final dance number with none other than choreographer Mandy Moore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSwift also further explains the concept of the video, which uses an infomercial format to sell \u201cthe revolutionary fix for your problems\u201d that is Opalite. The product promises that it \u201cmagically transforms your problems into your paradise using our state-of-the-art chemical potion. It works on friendships, couples, pets, and co-workers.\u201d In the mastermind\u2019s own words in the extended version: \u201cNope-alite is for people who want to choose to be unhealed, Opalite is for people who want to choose a path that serves them.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn part two of the extended version, Swift flexes her directorial experience as she works with Capaldi, Turner-Smith, and Lee on their cameos. Norton makes an appearance in these behind-the-scenes to explain Swift\u2019s process. \u201cThe treatment was so detailed, and it\u2019s so close to what we\u2019re actually doing, and I think that\u2019s quite a rare thing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tCinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, who has worked with Swift on previous music videos, also talked about collaborating with the pop star. \u201cI just love the way our working relationship has developed,\u201d he says. In a funny, candid moment, Swift is testing out a fanny pack camera angle when she catches a look from Pietro. \u201cHe is so sick of my shit,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBoth extended versions of \u201cOpalite\u201d are only available on streaming platforms. The move mirrors her decision to premiere the \u201cOpalite\u201d video on Spotify and Apple Music exclusively after YouTube decided to withdraw its data from Billboard charts following changes to the charts\u2019 methodology. The original \u201cOpalite\u201d music video was uploaded to YouTube a couple of days after its premiere. Let\u2019s hope the same goes for the extended versions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/taylor-swift-opalite-video-extended-versions-1235515810\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift is sharing more from her hilarious, time-traveling music video for \u201cOpalite.\u201d At midnight on Friday, the superstar dropped two extended versions of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":58040,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
