Elmo CLARIFIES Calling Out Taylor Swift For ‘Opalite’ Rock
Elmo is setting the record straight on his recent comments about Taylor Swift! After the “Sesame Street” star publicly called out Taylor on X for including a pet rock in her “Opalite” music video, he is clarifying his comments while chatting with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans in Milan, Italy. “Elmo loves Ms. Taylor Swift. Elmo loves Ms. Taylor Swift. You know Elmo is always in his red period,” he joked. “But, did it have to be a song about a rock? Listen, take it from Elmo Ms. Taylor, a rock is just a rock!” he added. Elmo, Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch also revealed what sports they’re excited to cheer on at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics and showed off their Italian. The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are airing on NBC and Peacock through Feb. 22. “Sesame Street” airs on PBS and Netflix.

My 3 favorite Sesame Street characters in one room.
Yes!!!!! π«Άπ§‘π«Ά
Hey Elmo, after Taylor Swift put a rock in her Opalite Video, she upgraded it for a ROCK STAR, aka Travis! πͺ¨ π
Definitely needed to hear from these four today, thank you Access!
Biscotti!!!!
If Sesame Street can keep their characters voices relatively the same over the years with different actors, then why can't the Muppets get Kermit and Miss Piggy's voices right?
Of course Oscar loves the video! It stars a trash can ! π
βElmo knew this was gonna come upβπβ€
What is this nonsense? This belongs in a landfill somewhere!!! What's with the Twinkle Toed Tinkerbell? Don't let children watch this garbage!!! Ugh
still love sesame street. makes me feel like a kid again!!! π₯°
This is the Olympic commentators I needed β€πͺ¨πͺποΈ
Cute! I love them talking about all the food especially Cookie Monster. Plus he loves hockey just like us Canadians!π¨π¦π
So strange to see Oscar out of his trash can.
This is a challenge.
We need to find a tasteful and tactful way to tell Elmo that Ms Taylor Swift has been in serious relationships with 11 good men, but she has always been unfulfilled and grumpy, because as nice as they were and hard as they tried, they couldn't give her the Big O, until she hooked up with Travis at 33.
Taylor's rock boyfriend was a one sided relationship, it couldn't love her the way she needed to feel loved.
Elmo, you can love a rock, you should love rocks, all the rocks; but a rock can't love you back.
GIRLS, DON'T GIVE UP AND MARRY A GUY WHO CAN'T ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF BECAUSE SOCIETY KEEPS TRACK OF YOUR "BODY COUNT" AND JUDGES YOU!!!
YOU AREN'T THE PROBLEM, YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND YOUR TRAVIS!!!
Elmo's hatred of Rocko never fails to amuse me.
Thank you Elmo! I love to see Taylor so happy even though I donβt like her music very much – but a good person is a good person β€
Oscar is my spirit animal

Now we only need big bird and a black muppet.
I hope I see big bird at the Olympics
Zoe made Elmo hate rocks π
Cookie Monster is so cute! "Me want that one and me want that one."
