Jackson Olson of the Savannah Bananas stepped into pop culture this week with a short video built around Taylor Swift’s Opalite dance. In the clip shared to social media, Olson runs through the choreography with rival player Dalton Ponce and plays it straight like it’s a high stakes on field moment.
The timing makes sense. The Opalite dance challenge has been spreading online as fans keep recreating the quick sequence of moves tied to Swift’s recent video rollout. What started as a few seconds of choreography has turned into a repeatable trend that keeps pulling in new people well outside the usual music spaces.
For the Bananas, it also fits their lane. The team is known for mixing baseball with entertainment, and Olson’s version leans into that style with clean timing, exaggerated expressions, and the funny contrast of uniforms and a tightly rehearsed dance. It turns a viral music moment into a small sports comedy beat, and that’s exactly the point.
