Taylor Swift: Makeup-Free in Opalite Behind-the-Scenes Video!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Taylor Swift is getting real with fans.

Real and raw and makeup-free in a way we’ve almost never seen the singer before.

In celebration of her track “Opalite” topping the Billboard Hot 100, Swift went ahead on Monday night and shared behind-the-scenes content from the making of the hit song … including a surprisingly naked (not that kind of naked!) clip from the recording studio.

See what we mean in this screen shot:

“Just a few Opalite memories to celebrate the Hot 100 #1 you guys just got this song!!” the 14-time Grammy winner wrote her caption on Instagram, adding:

“I can’t even sum up my excitement and I’m so blown away by the love you’ve shown this song and video.”

She later noted that this is only the second time she has had two songs from the same album climb to the number one spot on the Hot 100 chart — with the last album being 2014’s 1989.

“I know that’s a lot of numbers but it all adds up to me being so thankful to the fans who helped make this happen by welcoming this song into your lives with open arms,” the musician added.

“Seriously bouncing off the walls about this!!”

Swift released her official Opalite music video earlier this month.

In her latest post, the beloved singer began with a makeup-free video of Swift in the studio with producer Max Martin working on the single as she rocked her natural blonde curls.

Other clips from the upload included the future Mrs. Travis Kelce on the set of the music video, including her brown wig and 1980s-inspired costume for the shoot.

“Never in my life have I felt so myself,” she said in the costume video, stating simply:

“This is actually who I was meant to be.”

To her extreme credit, Swift wrote and directed the visual of the Opalite music video.

She previously told folks in an Instagram post how the idea “crash landed into [her] imagination” while promoting her The Life of a Showgirl on Graham Norton’s talk show appearance back in October 2025.

“I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with,” the singer-songwriter explained, calling out the group of actors and singers, which included Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith and Lewis Capaldi.

Taylor said these are people whose work she’s “admired from afar.”
