Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
Gorgeous (Reputation, 2017)
Who was it about: Joe Alwyn
Lyrics: “You should take it as a compliment… That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk… 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… ‘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.”
Story behind the lyrics: Different from her usual tracks, “Gorgeous” is a candid, almost cheeky revelation of Taylor’s feelings for Joe, as she herself admitted to fans during her secret listening sessions. The lyrics are a cocktail of admiration and frustration, served with a twist of Taylor’s signature wit. But it’s not all just dreamy stares into blue eyes; she brought a new flavor to the table, openly mentioning getting drunk and playfully mocking the way Joe talks. It’s a refreshing and relatable take on the giddy, sometimes maddening, early stages of attraction.
