Taylor Swift Wraps Secret UK Shoot for 'Opalite' Christmas Video

Editing is underway for a planned December release according to production sources.

Overview

  • Production sources say Swift flew in privately from New Jersey for a week-long shoot across London, including the Mildmay Club in Stoke Newington and Croydon’s Whitgift Centre.
  • On-set accounts describe military-level security, numbered cast IDs, and screens and umbrellas to prevent sightings.
  • Festive set dressing and drink stand-ins such as banana milkshake for eggnog signaled a holiday theme linked to her The Life Of a Showgirl track.
  • The budget was estimated at about £1 million, and the project has moved into post-production after principal photography concluded.
  • Rumored cameos by Lewis Capaldi and Domhnall Gleeson and possible involvement of production firm Merman were reported by insiders but are not confirmed.
