A SIGHT TO BEHOLD (Freestyle): There's no theme today, as this is a freestyle, or themeless puzzle. The title is a nod to YOU'RE SO GORGEOUS (17A: Taylor Swift lyric before "I can't say anything to your face, 'cause look at your face").

Someday I might go back and count the number of puzzles Amanda has made featuring Taylor Swift lyrics. There have certainly been a few! I don't mind at all, as they are always enjoyable. In addition to the Taylor Swift content and the answers I highlighted above, I also like INTRICATE and FOREHEAD KISS. Thank you, Amanda, for this superb puzzle.
