Overview

• The Life of a Showgirl was released on October 3, 2025, introducing “Opalite” as one of its most discussed tracks.
• Swift told The Graham Norton Show that “Opalite” is Travis Kelce’s favourite and explained the opalite image as a metaphor for self-made joy.
• Kelce previously said on the New Heights podcast that the song is his favorite and that he finds himself dancing when it plays.
• Outlets highlight lyrics about resilience and healing from prior relationships, with some interpretations suggesting nods to a partner’s past, which remain unconfirmed readings.
• Coverage notes opalite can refer to a man-made or simulated opal and points to Kelce’s opal birthstone as a likely source of the title’s resonance.
