"Gorgeous" describes a fully intoxicating infatuation in the form of seemingly unrequited love. The man in Taylor's attention is so impossibly attractive, she feels compelled to be with him even though she already has a boyfriend. The songs seems to play with the rumors that Taylor cheated on Calvin Harris with Tom Hiddleston in 2016. Furthermore, the chorus seems to mock the perception that most of Taylor's discography is comprised of lighthearted, simple songs about boys.

As the third song released from Reputation, it was first teased on October 19, 2017, when Taylor posted a short snippet of the track on Instagram. She also hosted a secret album listening party at her home in Rhode Island for a handpicked selection of fans the night before. Some of these fans, along with those who attended the London Secret Session the week before, took to social media to express their love for the song.

Fans have speculated the song is about Taylor's rumored boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn. During the Rhode Island Secret Session, she told fans that this song and all the other positive love songs on the album are about him. Although they were not allowed to say much until the album came out, she wanted her fans to clarify this in online discussions. She also like multiple posts on Tumblr about this subject as further confirmation.

Lyrics-

Gorgeous

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 doin' I don't know what
You're so cool, it makes me hate you so much
(I hate you so much)

Whiskey on ice, Sunset and Vine
You've ruined my life by not being mine

You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face
'Cause look at your face (Gorgeous)
And I'm so furious
At you for making me feel this way
But what can I say?
You're gorgeous

You should take it as a compliment
That I'm talking to everyone here but you (But you, but you)
And you should think about the consequence
Of you touching my hand in a darkened room
(Dark rooms dark 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

You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face (To your face)
'Cause look at your face (Look at your face, gorgeous)
And I'm so furious
At you for making me feel this way (Feel this way)
But what can I say?
You're gorgeous

You make me so happy it turns back to sad
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
And you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
(Mmh)
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 (Yeugh), alone
Unless you wanna come along? (Oh)

You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face (To your face)
'Cause look at your face (Look at your face, gorgeous)
And I'm so furious (I'm so furious)
At you for making me feel this way (Feel this way)
But what can I say? (I say)
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
And you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
(Mmh)
You're gorgeous
You make me so happy it turns back to sad (It turns back to sad)
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
(What I can't have)
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad (Mmh)
You're gorgeous
