In a crossover that no one had on their 2026 bingo card, house music titan Chris Lake has officially been given the green light to remix Taylor Swift’s hit single “Opalite.” The news broke this Friday, February 13, after Chris Lake shared a series of Instagram DMs revealing that the collaboration wasn’t sparked by a corporate label meeting, but rather by Taylor’s fiancé and ultimate hype-man, Travis Kelce. According to the screenshots shared by Lake (and quickly circulated by fan accounts), the “Black Book” producer reached out to the Kansas City Chiefs star after hearing that the power couple had been rinsing his tracks in their downtime. In the first screenshot, Lake initiates the conversation. Kelce, a known fan of the electronic scene, didn’t hold back his excitement. He responded with pure fanboy energy, citing Lake’s 2025 album Chemistry and his iconic Coachella sets. You can see the exchange in Chris Lake’s post (which he got permission to make). Fast forward just three days, and Chris Lake delivered the goods. A follow-up screenshot shows Kelce’s mind-blown reaction to the “Opalite” remix. It didn’t take long for the “Anti-Hero” singer herself to confirm the news. Taylor Swift reposted Lake’s DM thread to her Instagram Story with a caption that has already become a meme among Swifties and ravers alike: The “Opalite” remix is more than just a club weapon; it’s a full-circle moment for Lake, who has been a staple in the house scene for decades. For Swift, it marks a continued expansion into electronic music following the massive success of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. The “Opalite (Chris Lake Remix)” is currently available for pre-order as a limited-edition CD single on Taylor Swift’s official store. The physical release features a collectible cover and unique artwork, with the digital release expected to hit streaming platforms shortly. In addition to Chris Lake, .bunt was also given the honors of remixing this extremely popular song. You can pre-order the remixes on collectible CDs here. We can only assume the streaming will go live soon enough as well. Could we see Taylor explore more in the dance music world? Stay tuned!
