Taylor Swift did&nbsp;not take this lying down as Damon Albarn, lead singer of ‘Blur’, claimed recently&nbsp;that she doesn’t write her own songs and that he prefers Billie Eilish over her.&nbsp;

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."

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."

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."
