Contents

Lyrically, "Opalite" is a love song about past romantic hardships and self-made happiness. Titled after manmade opals, the song was inspired by Swift's fiancé, the American football player Travis Kelce, whose birthstone is opal. Swift draws from the advices she received from her brother and mother, and uses gemstone metaphors, visualizing failed relationships as dark "onyx" nights in contrast to happiness as a bright, opalescent sky.

Music critics reviewed "Opalite" positively, with plaudits toward its uplifting message and sound. Commercially, it became the best-performing song of The Life of a Showgirl after the lead single "The Fate of Ophelia", charting in top-tier positions across the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. It topped the Philippines Hot 100 chart, marking the album's second number-one song in the country, and peaked at number two in eleven other markets, including Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Background and conception

On August 13, 2025, Taylor Swift announced her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl , during an episode of New Heights , a sports podcast co-hosted by her then-boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason. [1] "Opalite" was also announced that day as the third track on the album. [2]

Swift's childhood love of opals inspired the song's title. Opal is also Kelce's birthstone. An opalite, however, is an artificial opal—a synthetic opalescent glass, simulating various opal and moonstone gems. Swift took inspiration from these facts, employing opalite as a metaphor for the idea that happiness can be created voluntarily. [3] [4] Opal is also believed to symbolically represent hope, healing, and positive energy. [5] [4] Swift described the song as "a song about forgiving yourself for having gone through something that didn't pan out the way you wanted it to and giving yourself permission to not have it all figured out or not marry the first person you ever dated". [6] In his podcast New Heights , Kelce described it as his favorite song on the album. [7] [8]

Composition

"Opalite" is a pop rock, [9] [10] soft rock, [11] and synth-pop song, [8] with influences of Europop, [12] and Eurodance, [9] and disco. [13] It was written and produced by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback. [14] It opens with a looping, acoustic guitar jangle, [15] [13] and grows into a constrasting disco refrain, [13] supported by a bouncy bass, [15] layered harmonies, and vintage swing beats. [16] Critics have compared the song to the style of the Swedish pop group ABBA, [13] [17] the American girl group The Ronettes, [18] [19] and the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, [11] as well as pop band Maroon 5's "Sugar" (2014) and singer-rapper Post Malone's "Circles" (2019). [19] Nicole Fell of The Hollywood Reporter compared the song's "dreaminess" to that of Swift's tenth studio album, Midnights (2023), [20] while Tess Patton of TheWrap found it reminiscent of the "bubbly pop" in her fifth studio album 1989 (2014). [21] Others drew parallels with Swift's deep-cut tracks like "Paper Rings" (2019) [22] and "Message in a Bottle" (2021). [23]

Lyrically, the song is described as a love song and a "feel-good anthem" about Kelce, who Swift has been in a relationship with since 2023, and became engaged to in 2025—on the day Swift announced The Life of a Showgirl. [8] [24] The lyrics are mainly focused on their relationship, and includes references to former relationships of both Swift and Kelce. [25] In the first verse, she describes her past dating life, her habit of reminiscing on her ex-lovers, and her brother's advice. It is followed by a chorus that are words of comfort from her mother, Andrea. [26] Swift reflects on Kelce's dating life in the second verse. [26] In the chorus, Swift carries on her lyrical tradition of associating colors with emotions. [27] She describes sadness and sorrow as "onyx night"—onyxes being a generally black and white group of gemstones, and equates happiness with an "opalite" sky—an iridiscent pastel blue shade; this contrast evokes a symbolic transition of healing, as in dark clouds giving way to sunny skies. [4] [24] The bridge offers words of encouragement, describing loss and failure as steps towards freedom. [28] People 's Samantha Stutsman described the song as "a celebration of growth, self-forgiveness and the messy, beautiful journey of love." [6] According to Collider 's Isabella Soares, it "is a love song about surpassing romantic hardships alongside a person that brings you joy and stability." [27] Deborah Cruz of Parade considered the song to be a reference to the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite . [29]

Reviews

Across critics' reviews of The Life of a Showgirl, "Opalite" was met with positive comments, with emphasis on its uplifting and optimistic message. Its shimmering and "glossy" production drew plaudits. [6] [8] USA Today 's Bryan West described the melody as being "as addictive as a narcotic". [8] Variety 's Chris Willman called the chorus "a sheer pheromone rush". [30] According to Lauren Hague of Clash , "Opalite" is "destined to be a radio 'pop song of the summer' style hit", boasting an "infectious" hook and a "delightful" bridge that showcases Swift's upper register vocals. [15] Similarly, Kristen S. Hé of NME called the song a sweet, "obvious radio single". [23] Soares described it as a catchy, bubbly, danceable track. [27] According to Alan Light from Esquire , "Opalite" is a "straight-up bop, dizzy in love". [18]

BBC's Mark Savage praised the song's "breezy" composition, describing them as "unfurling like a blossoming romance". [17] Maria Sherman of the Associated Press admired the swooning, "addictive and idiosyncratic Swiftisms" the song offers, claiming "Opalite" would not work for any other artist. She noted that the song has an "almost iridiscent" sonic quality, [16] while Anna Gaca of Pitchfork thought the song is theatrical in sound. [19]

Many regarded the song an album highlight. The Los Angeles Times critic Mikael Wood liked its "gorgeous", laid-back sound. [11] Durva More of The Economic Times called "Opalite" a stand-out for its themes of emotional growth and self-forgiveness, and for a display of Swift's hopeful side. [26] Caroline Darney of For the Win placed it number-one on their ranking of the songs of The Life of a Showgirl, praising its joyous and "sweet" atmosphere. [31] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard ranked it 8th in his list, describing it as a "slick, shimmying" track with a lively, singable chorus. [9] Prestige Hong Kong critic Bushra Jung also ranked it 8th, calling it an "infectiously, contagiously happy" song with an explosive, thumping chorus. [32] Harper's Bazaar editors ranked it 6th best from the album. [33] Willman considered "Opalite" as a surprising change of pace within in the album. [30] Gaca picked "Opalite" as one of the album's best songs, describing it as "a better-days-ahead anthem". [19] Gina Wurtz of Screen Rant described the song as the "most upbeat, fun pop song" that Swift has released, and further praised it as "the master of pop music". [34]

There were some lukewarm comments. Carl Wilson of Slate named the song a near perfect "classic Max Martin banger", but preferred its choruses and bridge over the "dull" verses. [35] Wren Graves of Consequence quipped "Opalite" has a "fine but forgettable" chorus. [36] Soares of Collider placed the song 9th in her ranking of the album's songs, finding its lyricism sub-par for Swift's songwriting acumen. [27]

Commercial performance

"Opalite" topped the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 chart as the second song from The Life of a Showgirl to reach number-one on the chart, followed by the lead single "The Fate of Ophelia". [37] "Opalite" reached the top-ten region in several countries across the globe, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Vietnam, Switzerland, Malaysia, Norway, Hong Kong, the Netherlands and Singapore. It landed in the top-twenty in Belgium, the Middle East, Spain, Taiwan, France, and Brazil. [38]

Impact and controversy

The word "opalite" was widely searched on Google, following the reveal of the tracklist of The Life of a Showgirl. [39] Upon release, the song produced a viral dance trend on social media, especially in the Philippines, and on the social media platforms TikTok, YouTube, [40] and Instagram. [37] The viral videos in the Philippines integrated the Filipino language. [40] A surge in opal sales was reported, with Gina Vaynshteyn and Katie Ann Lehman of StyleCaster describing it as a "much deserved hype". [41] In Latin America, social media users compared "Opalite" to "Dos Enamorados", a popular song recorded by several artists, including the Mexican singer Luis Miguel. Subsequently, Miguel's catalog experienced a resurgence on digital music platforms. [42]

The inspiration behind every song on The Life of a Showgirl was a subject of widespread discussion online. Some TikTok users accused Swift of racial insensitivity with the lyric "Sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is opalite", dubbing it an attack on Kelce's former girlfriend, the American social media influencer Kayla Nicole. A merchandise necklace, inspired by "Opalite", was also pulled from Swift's official wesbtore after a viral TikTok video accused it of containing "Nazi" and "white supremacist" symbolism. The necklace contained thunderbolt links and an eight-pointed pendant, referencing the song's lightning and sunshine imagery. Swift's fans dismissed these claims as far-fetched malice. [43] [44] Swift also reportedly turned off her Tiktok comment section. [45] Rolling Stone critic Brian Hiatt said that some of the online discourse is "downright ludicrous, rooted in bad-faith misreadings of lyrics by listeners". [46] Music journalist Rob Sheffield stated "people turn off certain parts of their brain" when they hear Swift's voice and that "Swift's sheer ubiquity has somehow made it impossible to process her music in any kind of rational manner" for many listeners. [46]

The song's second verse features the lyric "you were in it for real, she was in her phone, and you were just a pose", a line media outlets speculated to be about Nicole. [47] Following the album's release, a resurfaced video on the Internet showed Kelce asking Nicole to "get off the phone". [48] Subsequently, Nicole reposted an America's Next Top Model clip to her story, and then a video of her dancing to American singer Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough" (2000) on Halloween, both of which were interpreted by media outlets as disses aimed at Kelce and Swift. [49] [50] Nicole, in her podcast, claimed the video was inspired by her childhood friend named Taylor. [51]

After facing backlash from fans of Swift and Kelce, Nicole made cryptic tweets such as "Protect black women. Respect black women." Fans accused Nicole of hypocrisy, resurfacing her old tweets containing language widely described as racist, colorist, sexist, ableist, and homophobic, [52] [53] the video of her "raunchy" performance with the American singer Chris Brown, who was incarcerated for assaulting the Barbadian singer Rihanna, and the video of her admitting to stalking Kelce for reconciliation. [54] [55] [52] Shortly after deleting the highlighted tweets, Nicole deactivated her Twitter account entirely. [56]
