Taylor Swift ‘confirms’ Opalite Chris Lake remix, Tavis Kelce reacts
Taylor Swift has confirmed the official remix of her song Opalite after producer Chris Lake revealed private messages showing how the collaboration came together, with help from Travis Kelce.
The moment unfolded on Feb. 13, when Lake shared screenshots of his Instagram DMs with the Kansas City Chiefs star, explaining how the British DJ ended up creating a house remix of Opalite, a track from Swift’s latest album The Life of a Showgirl.
Alongside the post, Lake assured fans that Kelce had signed off on the messages being shared.
“When @killatrav & @taylorswift hit you about an official remix.. you get it done :),” Lake wrote, adding that his remix of Opalite was now available for pre-order on a limited-edition CD.
The messages showed Lake reaching out to Kelce in mid-January after hearing that he and Swift were listening to his music.
Lake told him he planned to try his hand at remixing the track, even though he wasn’t sure how it would turn out.
Kelce responded enthusiastically, praising Lake’s work and calling Chemistry one of his favourite albums at the moment, while saying he was excited to hear what the producer would create.
Within days, Lake said he already had something special taking shape and later sent the full version over.
Kelce’s reaction made it clear the remix was a hit.
“It’s so good dawg,” he wrote. “I’m gonna be ripping this s–t every car ride. She loves it too!! She said her teams gonna reach out asap.”
That seal of approval soon became public.
Swift reposted Lake’s update on her own Instagram Stories and added a playful response of her own, “Confirmed, Travis is my in-house house guy,” complete with prayer-hand emojis.

The remix’s release feels fitting, as Opalite, the third track on The Life of a Showgirl, was inspired by Kelce’s birthstone and themes of finding real love after heartbreak.
Swift and Kelce have been together since 2023, and he has had a close-up view of her creative process. Swift wrote and recorded the album during the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024.
Kelce previously reflected on that experience on an episode of his New Heights podcast in October 2025, saying, “I’m just the lucky man that gets to be the support system for Taylor while she drops one of the coolest albums that I’ve ever listened to [and] that the world’s seen.”
With Swift now publicly backing the remix and Lake’s version officially up for pre-order, the behind-the-scenes exchange has turned into a full-circle moment, one where a DM, a remix and a bit of enthusiasm from Kelce helped bring a new version of Opalite to life.

Rain, strong winds likely in Karachi from April 1
Rain is likely to begin in Karachi from the night of April 1, with the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) saying the chances of showers will be higher on April 2 as a westerly weather system enters Balochistan via Iran.
The Met Office said there would also remain a possibility of rain in Karachi on April 3, while rainfall in some areas could reach 50mm or more.
It warned that strong winds may also accompany the system, with wind speeds likely to reach 50 kilometres per hour or more.
According to the department, the weather system may continue to affect the country until April 4.
In a fresh advisory issued on Monday, the PMD warned of widespread rain, thunderstorms and strong winds across much of the country from April 1 to 4 as a westerly wave moves into southwestern Balochistan before gradually spreading to nearly all provinces over the following days.
Sindh is expected to be among the last provinces affected, with Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana and several other cities likely to receive rain, thunderstorms and isolated hailstorms from April 2 through April 4.
The Met Office warned of serious secondary hazards during the period, saying windstorms and lightning may damage weak structures, electricity infrastructure, billboards and solar panels, while standing crops in Sindh and other provinces may also be at risk from hail and strong winds.
It added that daytime temperatures are expected to fall noticeably across the country during the spell and advised the public, tourists and travellers to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel.
The PMD said the weather system is expected to persist beyond April 4 and that an updated advisory would be issued in due course.
All concerned authorities have been directed to remain vigilant and take necessary measures to prevent any untoward situation during the forecast period, the department said.

Katherine Schwarzenegger gushes over husband Chris Pratt
Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt has paid a sweet tribute to her husband Chris Pratt after the Marvel star spent his time hand-building a wooden dollhouse for their daughters, and she had some thoughts about women who claim they don’t need their husbands.
The author, 36, shared a video on Instagram on Sunday, 29 March showing Pratt, 46, sanding the exterior of the toy house, set to Olivia Dean’s Man I Need.
Her caption left little room for ambiguity.
“I’ll never understand when women say ‘I don’t need my husband’ when I very much in fact do need my husband because who else would build our daughters a doll house?” she wrote, adding: “When you have a golden retriever husband >>>.”
The couple share three children, Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 1, and Schwarzenegger Pratt has been consistently open about what she values most in her marriage.
Speaking to PEOPLE recently, she highlighted Pratt’s ability to bring humour into difficult moments as one of the things she is most grateful for.
“Even when not funny, someone who can also make you laugh in a really hard time is really important,” she said.
She also said that the foundation of their relationship is a sense of genuine teamwork. “Just knowing that we’re teammates in so much of life, and especially in parenting, which has its ups and downs,” she said.
