Is "Gorgeous" About Calvin Harris? Taylor Swift's New Song Could Be About Her Ex
Taylor Swift's third single off her new album, Reputation, is here and TBH, I'm really into it. The song, called "Gorgeous," is a bop, and it's something I could definitely see myself dancing to while I pregame on a Saturday night. Fans have been speculating who the song could be about. Is "Gorgeous" about Calvin Harris? Some fans seem to think so.
The song starts off with Swift singing:
You should take it as a compliment
That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
You should think about the consequence
Of your magnetic field being a little too strong
And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us
He's in the club doing I don't know what
You're so cool it makes me hate you so much
Whiskey on ice, sunset and vine
You ruin my life, why not be in mine?
She continues in the chorus:
You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face
'Cause look at your face
And I'm so furious at you for making me feel this way
But what can I say?
You're gorgeous
Second verse:
You should take it as a compliment
That I'm talking to everyone here but you
And you should think about the consequence
Of you touching my hand in the darkened room
If you've got a girlfriend, I'm jealous of her
But if you're single that's honestly worse
'Cause you're so gorgeous it actually hurts
(Honey, it hurts)
Ocean blue eyes looking in mine
I feel like I might sink and drown and die
Cue the chorus again. She sings in the bridge:
You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats
Alone, unless you wanna come along, oh!
The song ends with one more chorus and this outro:
You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
You're gorgeous
You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
You're gorgeous
One lyric in particular seems like it could stand out as being about Harris. Swift sings,
And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us
He's in the club doing I don't know what
Welp, can't really argue with this connection. Harris is 33 years old to Swift's 27, so he is definitely older. And being in the club? Harris is a DJ, so it's a given that he's in the club multiple times a week.
Fans on Twitter were quick to make the connection as soon as the song dropped.
The song also starts with what sounds like a baby saying "gorgeous." Fans think the baby sounds eerily similar to the baby featured on Harris' song "Slide."
Or, there's a theory the baby is actually Harris himself. LOL.
Harris did take to Twitter late Thursday night after Swift's song was released, but his message wasn't about her new single. Instead, he shared a track of his own.
This is the third single we’ve gotten from Swift off her forthcoming studio album, Reputation, which drops everywhere Nov. 10.
It all started back in August, when Swift deleted all of her social media content and posted three consecutive Instagrams of a snake motif. She then announced her album and the first single, “Look What You Made Me Do.”
Swift’s second single “…Ready For It?” was more of a surprise. She dropped a teaser for the song on a Saturday night during the Alabama and Florida State college football game. The next day, she dropped the full version.
Whether it's about Harris or not, Swift's new song is a serious hit. Get it, Tay.
