Taylor Swift's "Opalite" Music Video Outfits Trade 'Showgirl' Sequins for '90s Trends

Taylor Swift and Domnhall Gleeson in the Opalite music video.

Forget the towering feather headdresses, the bejeweled, glittering dresses, and all that vintage Bob Mackie. Taylor Swift's "Opalite" music video outfits, the start of her Life of a Showgirl style era's second chapter, are playfully, meaningfully anti-2026 fashion trends and runway designers. Think less pop star "in her glittering prime," more everyday girl circa 1994.

On February 6, Taylor Swift returned in her first music video since October's smash-hit "The Fate of Ophelia" with an ode to being your authentic self—and finding someone who's equally on-board—with a dash of nostalgic '90s trends. (Right now, it's exclusively streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.)
