how to watch opalite music video

To watch the Opalite music video right now, you’ll need to use a music‑streaming platform rather than YouTube in most regions.

Quick Scoop: How to Watch

  • The Opalite music video is currently available on Spotify Premium and Apple Music , not (yet) widely on YouTube in its full form in many regions.
  • Taylor Swift’s team has been sharing “watch” links through her official website and social media (especially Instagram Stories) that deep‑link you directly to the video on those platforms.
  • A YouTube release is planned, but some articles note a delay of a couple of days between the streaming‑platform debut and the YouTube upload, so availability can depend on your date and region.

Step‑by‑Step: Spotify Route

  1. Open the Spotify app (mobile or desktop) and make sure you’re signed in to a Premium account; the video is flagged for Premium users only in the current rollout.
  1. Search for “Taylor Swift Opalite” and tap into the single; if video is available in your region, you’ll see a video player instead of (or above) the static canvas.
  1. If you came from Taylor’s bio‑link or Instagram Story, choose Spotify when prompted and you’ll be taken straight to the video page.
  1. If you don’t have Premium, check whether the free trial (often 1–2 months depending on current promo) is offered in your country before subscribing.

Step‑by‑Step: Apple Music Route

  1. Open the Apple Music app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or via the web player and sign in with your Apple ID.
  1. In Search, type “Opalite Taylor Swift” and open the music video entry from The Life of a Showgirl era section.
  1. If you tap a link from Taylor’s site or Instagram Story and choose Apple Music , it should jump directly to the video.
  1. New users can usually start a three‑month free trial of Apple Music before paying a monthly subscription, with multiple plan types in most markets.

What About YouTube?

  • Multiple outlets confirm that Opalite is premiering first on subscription services and only later on YouTube , typically at 8 A.M. ET on the announced day.
  • If you don’t see it yet on Taylor Swift’s official YouTube channel, it’s likely still in that exclusivity window for Spotify/Apple Music in your region.
  • You can watch short teasers or clips on Apple Music’s public preview and possibly in social media promos while you wait for the full YouTube upload.

Forum & Trending Context

  • Fan forums and subreddits have lots of “where do I watch Opalite?” threads where users confirm that they’re using Spotify Premium or Apple Music and comparing visual Easter eggs to earlier eras.
  • Entertainment outlets highlight the release strategy as a response to chart‑data changes, since YouTube streams are no longer counted toward certain Billboard metrics; concentrating views on subscription platforms boosts chart performance more directly.

TL;DR (how to watch Opalite music video)

  • Use Spotify Premium or Apple Music and search “Opalite – Taylor Swift,” or follow the official links in Taylor’s bio/Stories.
  • If you rely on YouTube , check Taylor’s official channel around the announced Sunday 8 A.M. ET window or shortly after, as region timing may vary.
