Gorgeous

Anyone hoping that Taylor Swift's new album Reputation will be a cold blade of revenge will be surprised by the gooey romance of her new single, Gorgeous. Released on Oct 20, the song is a hard turn from the angry, slightly unhinged electro-rock of her latest releases. Instead, it's a maudlin pop ballad about falling hard for a super-hot dude despite some minor reservations. It's built with modern subbass and synth pings. But the drippy, devotional lyrics and Swift's delivery are weirdly indebted to the kind of teen pop heard on mid-2000s TV shows such as The Hills.
