Taylor Swift released her Opalite music video on Friday.
And the clip is packed with some of her celebrity friends like Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Jodie Turner-Smith and more.
There are also several Easter eggs buried inside the video, like a quick cameo by her brother Austin Swift.
The songbird is a huge fan of Graham Norton and jumped at the chance to appear on the British talk show last year to promote her new The Life of a Showgirl album.
Afterwards, she invited the host and all the guests that were there that day to appear in her Opalite music video.
It turns out they are all die-hard Swift fans too and they didn’t hesitate.
Swift wrote and directed the music video that focuses on the search for love and connection, and begins with the singer - as Lonely Girl - removing a rock from a box and befriending it.
She then sees a commercial for Opalite that promises a new life with just one spritz. Then she miraculously lands in the living room of Lonely Boy, played by Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson.
The music video that spoofs the infomercials of the 1980s and '90s features a number of cameos by the celebrities who share a healthy sense of fun and humor with Swift, whose music video can be seen on Spotify and Apple Music now.
Scroll down for the list of Easter Eggs...

EASTER EGGS
Her brother Austin Swift pops up in the Opalite music video.
Swift's bedroom has posters of Father Figure singer George Michael, which could be a hint that this will be the next video/single incoming.

And there seems to be a She's All That reference; that film starred Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook.
