"Gorgeous" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her sixth studio album Reputation. It was released on October 20, 2017, as a promotional single from the album. The song has reached top ten in Australia, Canada, Hungary, and Malaysia as well as the top twenty in United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, New Zealand, and Scotland.

After Swift held a secret listening party on October 13, 2017 where she played her sixth studio album Reputation for 100 fans from all around the world, she announced the release of a song titled "Gorgeous" through her Instagram account on October 19th. It included a small preview of the track, featuring "a baby voice saying 'gorgeous' over an electro-pop soundbed", as described by Billboard. It was then released the following day as a promotional single. On the same day, a lyric video for the song was premiered. The song is about her boyfriend Joe Alwyn. It was also revealed that the baby's voice featured on the song is from James Reynolds, daughter of actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Swift co-wrote "Gorgeous" with its producers Max Martin and Shellback. It has been described as a "radio-friendly pop" song. Lyrically, the song depicts "the pursuit of a maddening love interest", whom Swift describes as "gorgeous". Hugh McIntyre of Forbes characterized the production of the song as "simultaneously a basic 808 drum and an attempt at something that pushes electro-pop into a more interesting territory than Top 40 is used to". Maeve McDermott of USA Today likened the chorus of the song to the sound of Katy Perry. According to Elle, the man mentioned in the song is the British actor Joe Alwyn, who is Swift's current boyfriend. The song is composed in the key of C major with a tempo of 92 beats per minute, with Swift's vocals spanning from G3 to C5.
