In an unexpected melding of pop and electronic music, Taylor Swift has announced a new remix of her hit song “Opalite,” thanks to a delightful collaboration with EDM producer Chris Lake. Interestingly, it’s none other than Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, who played a pivotal role in this musical venture, earning the playful title “my in-house house guy.” This move underscores the seamless blend of Swift’s pop prowess with the energetic world of electronic dance music, a fusion eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide.
Travis Kelce’s Influence on “Opalite”
Taylor Swift’s “Opalite” is set to receive a vibrant house remix, attributed largely to the influence of Travis Kelce. The singer-songwriter revealed on her Instagram story, “Confirmed, Travis is my in-house house guy.” Kelce, a known enthusiast of English EDM producer Chris Lake, inspired Lake to reimagine the song with an electronic twist, bringing a fresh perspective to Swift’s already iconic track.

Chris Lake took to Instagram to share how the remix journey began. By reaching out to Kelce through a direct message, Lake expressed his excitement, stating, “Heard you and Taylor were listening to my tracks… I’m going to take a crack at remixing this track for her.” Kelce, ever enthusiastic, responded with admiration, calling Lake a “legend” and eagerly anticipating the remix.
Once the remix was crafted, Kelce’s excitement only grew. He exclaimed in a message, “It’s so good dawg, I’m gonna be rippin this every car ride!!” Quick to share Swift’s approval, he added, “She loves it too!! She said her team’s gonna reach out asap!” This endorsement from both Kelce and Swift has only heightened anticipation for the remix’s release.
A Continual Fan Favorite
