Taylor Swift's Marketing Genius for 'Opalite' Music Video Release

Taylor Swift's decision to debut "Opalite" first on subscription-based streaming services like Spotify Premium and Apple Music is seen by industry observers as a strategic move. This approach follows YouTube's recent withdrawal from Billboard's US charts, which took effect on January 16, 2026, and Billboard's updated methodology that now assigns greater weight to paid streams over ad-supported ones. By funneling initial viewership towards platforms like Spotify Premium and Apple Music, Swift appears to be maximising the song's chart impact under the new rules. This will also encourage direct subscriptions from her dedicated fanbase, known as the Swifties.
