Taylor Swift is accused by Damon Albarn of not writing her own songs

Singer Taylor Swift, 32, has been accused by Damon Albarn, frontman of the bands Blur and Gorillaz, of not writing her own songs. The statement was given by him to the Los Angeles Times on Sunday (23).

As the reporter praised the songs created by Swift, Damon gave his opinion. “She doesn’t write her own songs.” He also said that the artist only co-writes and that “it doesn’t count”.

Dissatisfied with the statements, Taylor took to social media to counter Damon. “I was a huge fan of yours until I saw this. I write all my own songs. Your accusation is completely false and so hurtful. You don’t have to like my songs, but it’s so f***ing to try to discredit my writing.” Is it over there.

With the negative repercussion, the singer-songwriter apologized. “I totally agree with you. I had a conversation about songwriting and unfortunately it’s been reduced to clickbait. I apologize unconditionally. The last thing I want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand.”

And speaking of songwriting, the pop star is likely to face a lawsuit from songwriters who claim the Grammy-winning singer copied her lyrics on her 2014 single “Shake It Off,” a California judge ruled.

In a ruling, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald turned down Swift’s request to dismiss a lawsuit that said she took the lyrics from R&B girl group 3LW’s 2014 song “Playas Gon ‘Play”.

Fitzgerald said there are “some noticeable differences” between the songs, but also “sufficient objective similarities” for the case to go to trial.

“Although the defendants presented a strong final argument to a jury, they did not show that there are no genuine questions of fact that can be tried,” the judge wrote.

A spokeswoman for Swift had no comment. In 2017, their representatives called the songwriters’ claim of copyright infringement “ridiculous” and “nothing more than a stealing of money”.
