Taylor Swift’s new music video “Opalite” was partially filmed in Croydon, featuring scenes shot at the Whitgift Centre. A huge moment for the borough and a reminder of how global productions are increasingly choosing local UK locations.
With Swift’s videos regularly reaching hundreds of millions of views, this could easily become one of the most-watched music videos of 2026.
Film permits for the shoot were processed through FilmApp. Our platform is used by Croydon Film Office to manage filming applications and approvals.
From independent productions to world-famous artists, FilmApp helps local authorities and film offices streamline filming workflows, making the process smoother for everyone involved.
