Damon Albarn recently spoke to The LA Times on Taylor Swift’s songwriting, asserting that she does not write her own songs and that there is a differentiation between a songwriter and a co-songwriter.
As expected, Taylor was unhappy and hit back with a tweet saying: “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**ked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.”
Nevertheless, Albarn has been quick to put the record straight, saying: “I had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait. I apologize unreservedly and unconditionally. The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand.”
He discovered the gem when he was 12 years old and still has it now, claiming it to be why he fell in love with music. He likes to play disc golf when he's not writing about music. He is a one-of-a-kind individual who is always the first to bust out his air guitar on the dance-floor.
