Taylor Swift Quietly Films Christmas 'Opalite' Video in London as Project Moves to Post, Reports Say

Editing is reportedly underway for a December release.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Swift flew by private jet from New Jersey and spent about a week shooting at the Mildmay Club in Stoke Newington and the Whitgift Centre in Croydon.
  • Insiders describe an unusually tight security operation that kept the shoot hidden, with cast and crew shielded and identified by numbers.
  • Sets reportedly featured retro, festive dressing with Christmas trees, glitter cannons and drink stand‑ins like banana milkshake for eggnog.
  • The production budget was estimated at around £1 million, while credits and some elements remain unconfirmed, including reported involvement of production firm Merman.
  • Speculation about cameos by Lewis Capaldi and Domhnall Gleeson remains unverified after on‑set chatter and their recent appearance with Swift on The Graham Norton Show.
