Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Taylor Swift is not going to let anyone discredit her as an artist. The singer defended herself Monday, after Damon Albarn claimed she does not write her own music in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Swift, tweeted at the singer directly to let him know she used to be a big fan. Key words- used to be. She went on to blast the “Blur” frontman to her 89.9 million followers calling his “hot take,” “damaging” and “f***ed up.” The “Gorillaz” co-creator has since tried to backtrack from his statements, calling it “clickbait.”It all started with an interview from the Los Angeles Times, where Albarn is quoted saying, swift “doesn’t write her own songs.” When the journalist told Swift that she “co-writes” some of them, Albarn responded, “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.
Doesn’t mean that the outcome can’t be really great,” he continued, as he praised Billie Eilish’s songwriting skills instead.
