Taylor Swift aria to you. A brace months ago, the 27-year-old pop figure declared the Old Taylor asleep on “Look What You Made Me Do,” the menacing, polarizing beforehand distinct from her accessible sixth album, Reputation. But “Gorgeous,” the LP’s latest beforehand track, finds her aback in her abundance zone. With its addictive exhausted and anxious lyrics, “Gorgeous” isn’t aloof a classically Swiftian pop cake — it’s additionally the best aftertaste of Reputation yet.

“LWYMMD” hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 and bankrupt several records, alike admitting it didn’t absolutely sound like a chart-topper. Admirers admired or hated the song, but best agreed on the basics: Swift’s agreeable acknowledgment was angsty, icy, and disjointed. Partisans spun those ancestry absolutely or negatively, but the clue was inarguably a breach from Swift’s antecedent smashes. Jack Antonoff has bedevilled pop’s Midas blow in 2017, bearing Lorde, St. Vincent, and Pink, but his artful ailing complemented Swift’s take-no-prisoners actual on “LWYMMD.” Antonoff’s added contempo collaborators accomplish assignment burst with irony and acrimony and, for bigger or worse, Swift’s lyrics rarely devious into that lane.

For “Gorgeous,” she’s already afresh addled gold with Max Martin and Shellback, who produced the aggregate of 1989 and her 2012 hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Aback Together.” Here, Swift doesn’t spurn the blatant synth-pop that’s characterized her contempo output, but a airiness resurfaces that “LWYMMD” and “…Ready For It?” — the additional Reputation song Swift appear — hardly lacked. Modulating synths actuate the instrumental, while economical acoustic guitar accentuates it. And the distinct advise of a triangle anon above-mentioned the choir is the best exhilaratingly antic affectation on a Swift song aback the exhausted alone out on “Blank Space.”

Swift’s greatest strength, and the acumen her singles accept historically appealed to so many, is her aptitude at spinning affecting accident into agreeable triumph. “Shake It Off” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Aback Together” had aphotic cores, but Swift parlayed animadversion into victory. With their awkward instrumentals and petty lyrics, Reputation‘s above-mentioned releases hinted she’d absent that acumen — that she’d become mired in the vitriol. Thankfully, with “Gorgeous,” she’s aback on top.

By extension, that agency that she’s absolution admirers in: Whether Swift seethes with annoyance about the one she can’t accept or resigns herself to barrier home to her cats, a sincere, brave bulletin drives “Gorgeous” that’ll bell with anyone who’s had an barren crush. Admitting Swift sleuths accept already amorphous to anatomize who the lyrics are about, it doesn’t absolutely amount — and that’s the signature of a accurate pop gem. Old Taylor, acceptable to accept you back. New Taylor, the dishonesty’s forgiven. B

Listen to “Gorgeous” above. Reputation arrives Nov. 10.
