Taylor Swift surprised her devotees this week by announcing a music video for "Opalite," the fan-favorite third track from her latest album, " The Life of a Showgirl." The twinkling pop song is being promoted as the second single from "Showgirl," following " The Fate of Ophelia," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the chart for 10 weeks.

After a varied career in which he has played a psychopath, a romcom heart-throb, an intergalactic warlord and a plucky newspaper editor among others, Domhnall Gleeson has won his first Hollywood award. The US-Ireland Alliance announced that Gleeson will receive the Oscar Wilde award at the event's 20th anniversary in Los Angeles in March in the run-up to the Oscars. It honours a body of work rather than a particular performance.

Gleeson and I met in New York in the early fall, when he was in town making promotional rounds for The Paper. The show was due to stream in its entirety on Peacock on September 4, followed by a November 10 broadcast premiere on NBC. He had slept for only an hour the night beforeowing to the nonstop bender that is a press junketand just finished crying. During a photoshoot, he'd watched clips of his work with Bill Nighy from their movie About Time.

"He's one of the only people in the world who thinks that," Gleeson says. "I love that he has that love for journalism. I think a character who really cares about something is a character who's easy to care about."
