In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, British artist Damon Albarn \u2014 best known as the lead vocalist of bands Blur and Gorillaz \u2014 stated that Taylor “doesn’t write her own songs,” to which Taylor quickly responded on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Taylor Swift is known for her re-recorded old albums and released Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version), receiving widespread accolades for reclaiming artistic control over her previous work.<\/p>\n
With Red (Taylor’s Version), she shattered Spotify streaming records, and she’s hoping to repeat the feat with re-issues of Taylor Swift, Speak Now, 1989, and, eventually, Reputation. Overall, she is not allowing anyone to diminish her efforts.<\/p>\n
In response to a tweet from the Los Angeles Times regarding Damon’s interview, Taylor wrote, “I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL of my own songs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don\u2019t have to like my songs but it\u2019s really f***ed up to try and discredit my writing. WOW,\u201d Swift added. \u201cPS I wrote this tweet all by myself in case you were wondering,\u201d<\/p>\n
\n@DamonAlbarn<\/a> 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. You don\u2019t have to like my songs but it\u2019s really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW. https:\/\/t.co\/t6GyXBU2Jd<\/a><\/p>\n
