Ed Sheeran secretly battled substance abuse and we break down Taylor Swift's "Gorgeous" lyrics all on today's episode of iHeartNow! Joined by the naughty gossip, Rob Shuter and Straight Nate, Elvis Duran breaks down the meaning behind Taylor's lyrics to her newly released song, "Gorgeous" 

We can all agree on this show that Taylor Swift is smart. She has this music industry in the palm of her hands, constantly putting out hits. Usually it's safe to say that the lyrics are about a past relationship, and this song "Gorgeous" we infer is no different. Something that Rob Shuter reminded us of is Taylor's songs are written months and months in advance and there's a chance this song couldn't have possibly be written for her new boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who she has been dating since May. It's definitely possible but might not be likely in relation to when this song was probably written. We'll keep the guesses rolling though on today's episode above!
