Called Damon Albarn Can't Write Songs, Taylor Swift: Your Opinion Is False

ByJAKARTA - Singer Taylor Swift spoke up after Damon Albarn of the band Blur claimed he didn't write his own lyrics. Previously, Damon Albarn spoke to the LA Times about today's music.

Albarn praised Billie Eilish for being able to write song lyrics but not Taylor Swift.

“Taylor Swift? He doesn't write his own songs. Billie Eilish and her brother are interesting writers. I'm more attracted to them than Taylor Swift. Damon Albarn replied to the LA Times.

Hours later, Taylor tweeted an LA Times tweet mentioning his name. He emphasized that he wrote all the lyrics of the song.

“I was a huge fan of yours until I saw this. I wrote ALL of my songs. Your opinion is completely false and detrimental," Taylor Swift said on Tuesday, January 25, United States time.

“You don't have to like my songs but to hell with discrediting my writing. WOW," Swift said again. He also added that the tweet was written by Taylor Swift herself.

@DamonAlbarn I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I wrote 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 fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW. https://t.co/t6GyXBU2Jd

"I agree with you. I had a discussion about songwriting and unfortunately it was clickbait. I apologize unconditionally and unconditionally. The last thing I want is to discredit your writing. I hope you understand,” said Damon Albarn.

I totally agree with you. 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. - Damon
