Taylor Swift – Opalite (Official Music Video)

🎵 “Opalite” – Taylor Swift

“Opalite” is the second single from Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, released on January 12, 2026, co‑written and produced with Max Martin and Shellback.

The song blends pop rock, soft rock, and synth‑pop, using the title‑inspired gemstone metaphor — opalite (a man‑made opal) — to explore the idea of creating your own happiness after difficult experiences.
