This is a packed episode, so let's dive in the biggest surprise this week. Taylor dropped the Oprah Like music video Friday, and it's absolutely everything. She recruited the entire Graham Norton Show guest list from October, including Dominall, Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jody Turner, Smith, Lewis Capaldi, and Graham himself.
0:51 The concept came from Dominall jokingly saying he wanted to be in a Taylor Swift video. Taylor wrote on social media, I was instantly struck with an idea. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on The Graham Norton Show that night could be a part of it too, like a school group project but for adults, and it isn't mandatory. She wrote the script the very next week after that show. The video is a nineties throwback featuring Taylor as lonely woman and Dominall as lonely man, both dealing with unrequited love for inanimate objects. Taylor loves a rock, Domnall Loves a cactus. It starts as a satirical TV commercial for Opolite spray that promises to transform your problems into your paradise with magical results. The easter eggs are incredible.

The number thirteen. Pool Ball is conspicuously facing the camera during his pool scene.

The mall stores are named after her lyrics Sweeter than a Peach from the title track, Dear Protege from Father Figure, and Infamy Loves Call from Canceled. When the Rock ditches Taylor's friendship bracelet for one, reading fuck You Forever, it references Mad Woman, where she sings does she mouth fuck you Forever?
2:57 The final dance routine in Sparkly teal Sweatsuit get zeros from all three judges, but Taylor and Dominall don't care, continuing her theme of satirizing her awkward dancer reputation, Like in Shake It Off and Delicate, Taylor said in twenty fourteen, life can be greatly reflected in your willingness to dance. Taylor also made a Beautiful Olympics cameo wearing a Ralph Lauren Team USA Polo Bear shirt. She told athletes, getting to learn your stories and see everything that you've sacrificed and all your determination, it's just really inspiring. I hope that this is an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Her message was so heartfelt and genuine, recognizing the athlete's sacrifices while encouraging them.
