Taylor Swift doesn't write her own songs, claims Blur singer Damon; she hits back

Taylor Swift didnot take this lying down as Damon Albarn, lead singer of ‘Blur’, claimed recentlythat she doesn’t write her own songs and that he prefers Billie Eilish over her.

In an interview, Damon said he prefers Billie Eilish as she’s a ‘really interesting songwriter” and "I'm more attracted to that than to Taylor Swift. It's just darker - less endlessly upbeat. Way more minor and odd. I think she's exceptional."

When it was pointed out that Taylor Swiftco-writes all her music, Damon said, "That doesn't count. I know what co-writing is. Co-writing is very different to writing. I'm not hating on anybody, I'm just saying there's a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes."

Taylor Swift hit it out at him and said, "I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write all of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and so damaging."

Ironically, Billie Eilish co-writes her songs with brother, producer Finneas.

Damon Albarn later apologised, writing to Swift on Twitter: "I totally agree with you. I had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait. I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally. The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand."
