Taylor Swift released the music video for "Opalite", the second single from her latest album "The Life of a Showgirl." Written and directed by Swift herself, the video takes viewers on an aesthetic journey to the 90s, building a symbolic narrative about loneliness, connections, and the pursuit of happiness. The story is structured around a fake commercial for "Opalite," a cleaning spray that promises to "fix" personal and professional relationships. In one scene, Swift wears a blue and white headband, a direct reference to the Argentine flag. In an ironic twist, the characters swap roles after using the product in a sequence that blends humor, critique, and self-references, including a dance contest where they score zero points. However, one detail that particularly caught the attention of the Argentine fandom appears in a workout scene. Throughout the video, the singer is accompanied by a stone, presented as her "best friend," with whom she shares daily routines like working out, drinking cocktails, or spending time outdoors. In a parallel storyline, actor Domhnall Gleeson plays another lonely character whose companion is a cactus. Minutes later, the stone that accompanies Swift also appears with the same accessory. This is compounded by the coincidence that for the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine national team will be based in Kansas City, a city well-known to Swifties as it is where her fiancé, American football star Travis Kelce, plays for the Chiefs.
