Taylor Swift fires back at Damon Albarn after he claims she ‘doesn’t write her own songs’: ‘Your hot take is so damaging’

metro.co.uk:

Taylor Swift was forced to defend herself in perfectly sassy tweets after Blur star Damon Albarn claimed she ‘doesn’t write her own songs’. In a recent interview, Albarn, 53, discussed the state of pop music today and whether modern musicians ‘rely on sound and attitude’.

When Swift, 32, was described as an ‘excellent songwriter’, the Girls & Boys singer told the Los Angeles Times matter-of-factly: ‘She doesn’t write her own songs.’ Reacting to the incorrect statement, Swift tweeted on Monday: ‘@DamonAlbarn 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’t have to like my songs but it’s really f****d up to try and discredit my writing.

WOW.’ She then quipped: ‘PS I wrote this tweet all by myself in case you were wondering.’ Albarn has since apologised, replying: ‘Totally agree with you.
