Taylor Swift's third single off her new album, Reputation, is here and TBH, I'm really into it. The song, called "Gorgeous," is a bop, and it's something I could definitely see myself dancing to while I pregame on a Saturday night. Fans have been speculating who the song could be about. Is "Gorgeous" about Calvin Harris? Some fans seem to think so.

The song starts off with Swift singing:

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 doing I don't know what

You're so cool it makes me hate you so much

Whiskey on ice, sunset and vine

You ruin my life, why not be in mine?

She continues in the chorus:

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

Second verse:

You should take it as a compliment

That I'm talking to everyone here but you

And you should think about the consequence

Of you touching my hand in the darkened 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

Cue the chorus again. She sings in the bridge:

You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah

There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have

You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad

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

Alone, unless you wanna come along, oh!

The song ends with one more chorus and this outro:

You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah

There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have

You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad

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

You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad

You're gorgeous

One lyric in particular seems like it could stand out as being about Harris. Swift sings,

And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us

He's in the club doing I don't know what

Welp, can't really argue with this connection. Harris is 33 years old to Swift's 27, so he is definitely older. And being in the club? Harris is a DJ, so it's a given that he's in the club multiple times a week.

Fans on Twitter were quick to make the connection as soon as the song dropped.

The song also starts with what sounds like a baby saying "gorgeous." Fans think the baby sounds eerily similar to the baby featured on Harris' song "Slide."

Or, there's a theory the baby is actually Harris himself. LOL.

Harris did take to Twitter late Thursday night after Swift's song was released, but his message wasn't about her new single. Instead, he shared a track of his own.

This is the third single we’ve gotten from Swift off her forthcoming studio album, Reputation, which drops everywhere Nov. 10.

It all started back in August, when Swift deleted all of her social media content and posted three consecutive Instagrams of a snake motif. She then announced her album and the first single, “Look What You Made Me Do.”

Swift’s second single “…Ready For It?” was more of a surprise. She dropped a teaser for the song on a Saturday night during the Alabama and Florida State college football game. The next day, she dropped the full version.

Whether it's about Harris or not, Swift's new song is a serious hit. Get it, Tay.
