Taylor Swift has enlisted her fellow Graham Norton Show guests for her new Opalite music video.
The Grammy-winning singer released the star-studded video on Friday for the track, which appears on her most recent album, The Life of a Showgirl. The video features several celebrities who appeared alongside her on the BBC chat show back in October.
Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson plays a lonely man who summons Swift into his life using a magic potion, while Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi appears as a shopping centre photographer.
Meanwhile, actors Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee and Cillian Murphy also make appearances, featuring in television adverts.
Talk show host Graham Norton himself pops up in the video as a salesman who claims he can reverse the effects of the magic potion.
In a new post on Instagram, Swift revealed that the idea for the video came after Gleeson "made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos" during their Graham Norton Show appearance.
"And so a week later, he received an email script I'd written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role," she wrote. "I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too."
The Bad Blood hitmaker added that before she met them, she had "admired" the group "from afar" and shared that she was "delighted" when they agreed to appear in the video.
In his own Instagram post, Norton shared a still from the video alongside the caption, "The thrill of a lifetime and the hardest secret I've ever had to keep!! Thank you thank you @taylorswift."
It had previously been reported in November that Gleeson and Capaldi were set to appear in a music video with Swift.
