Taylor Swift's New Song "Gorgeous" Is Here & Fans Are Already Freaking Out
Ever since she surprised fans with her first single, "Look What You Made Me Do," followed by a second song, "...Ready For It?", Taylor Swift fans have been on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting the release of her third track. And on Thursday night, Swift released "Gorgeous," the latest from her upcoming album Reputation. And fans are already freaking out.
Audience reactions to her first two songs have been mixed. With "Look What You Made Me Do," it was obvious that Swift was going for a brand-new sound and with it, a whole new image. The lyrics of the song are darker than her previous tracks, and the music video — complete with snakes, a harem of "I heart T.S." T-shirt wearing backup dancers, and the image of her literally rising out of her own grave made fans wonder what the hell they were in for. It wasn't the Taylor fans knew.
But with Swifts's second single, "...Ready For It," she threw fans for another loop. Yes, she attempts to rap on the album, which is certainly new for her sound, but the general vibe of the song feels like the complete opposite of "Look What You Made Me Do." The lyrics and sound are peppier, not quite as threatening or dangerous. So with her third single, anything goes, really. Sure, it sounds like she's complimenting the subject of the song, but there's definitely a bit of snark over a poppy melody.
With fans now privy to three full tracks on her upcoming album, out Nov. 10, it's difficult to pinpoint what the rest of the album has in store.
In the meantime, you can bet fans are already obsessed and poring over the lyrics. Not long after midnight, #Gorgeous was already trending on Twitter.
