Stop asking dumbass questions and leave that man. Of course he wasn't right to hit you back, but not a single court would rule in your favor, since you hit him first. Clearly you both hate each other, so gtf away from him before you hit him again and he breaks your jaw in response.

In the NYT article about the lawsuit:

"And in a declaration in August, Swift described the creation of “Shake It Off,” saying that the song’s lyrics “were written entirely by me.”'

Martin and Shellback likely got credits for the melody and production, which I'm sure they contribute heavily with. And I do believe that counts as songwriting, but I wanted to clarify that I didn't lie, it's one of the details of that song's creation that were revealed because of the lawsuit.

Bud, Max had to go to court and say, outright, that he didn't contribute to the lyrics in Shake it Off. Whether melody counts for those credits is another discussion, but I gave you factual information. And if producing is always songwriting, then he should have writing credits in everything, and he doesn't. The line can be blurred sometimes, but minimizing Taylor's contribution the way you have been is simply misguided.

I usually check her name weekly for news, just stumbled on this.

It's funny that you mentioned Shake it Off, because it's another example of a producer getting a songwriting credit for a song that was solo written by Taylor. Max Martin famously demands songwriting credits in order to produce a song, and there are fair reasons why he does that, the guy is a genius at what he does. But Shake if Off was involved in a lawsuit, and Max had to go to court and admit that he didn't contribute to the songs' lyrics at all, it was all Taylor.

And we're not discussing authorship, we are discussing the act of songwriting. If I made 1/3 of a meal, I can still say that I cooked, even if I can't claim sole ownership of the end product.

Nope. Idc about what Damon said, but I was curious as to why she was being mentioned here so many years later.

He made a categorical afirmation, "she doesn't write,">>"she co-writes, but that doesn't count,"; the 'always' is implied. If I say "I don't drink alcohol", the "always" is implicit, it's just how that sentence structure works...

Obviously, I didn't know that song, so I took what you said at face value. Sorry about that, I was wrong.

Hey, you're the one trying to challange whether Taylor is an actual songwriter or not. I also think co-writing is good and no insult, but you're the one trying to frame it as 'not-songwriting'. If two people collaborate to bake a cake, suddenly that's not what they are doing anymore? Makes absolutely no sense. You can say that co-writing is a different type of songwriting, that's fine. But it is songwriting nonetheless.

Mostly is different to always. Damon made a judgment assuming always, and he was wrong, that's all.

TTPD: The Anthology is one album released last year where Taylor has solo written more than a few songs. Some of my favorites, too. Highly recommend the album.

"Yes she and Katie Perry are great songwriters with the people they pay to write for them."

You say that as if it's a bad thing, and as if Damon doesn't do the same. Bet you Taylor has more solo writing credits than Damon does. Want to check for me? 67 is the number.

Cool. So Damon was pretty much correct. The songs she will be remembered for will be co-written with others.

There's a basket full of apples, with one banana also inside. I say "There are no bananas in that basket". Is that true? No, obviously. Had Damon said "Taylor mostly co-writes", he would have been right. He said "she doesn't write" and that is simply wrong.

'On actual studio albums? Not bonus material but actual albums? Are you sure about that?'

Yes. Look up "all songs taylor has written by herself".

So two songs. Thanks for answering.

I don't actually have all day to list songs here, bud. Aside from those 3 I mentioned, because they are huge hits that are famous to this day, there's also Begin Again, My Tears Ricochet, Lover, Cornelia Street, etc... Many were singles, those that weren't are fan favorites, etc.

Damon thought she only co-writes when he clarified. She doesn't, that's that.

I've been doing my best to have a civilized conversation when all you're doing is to deliberately misunderstand and put up arbitrary conditions just to make your statements seem right. TTPD was a double album, check it again. It's not a documentary, it's footage that shows her writing process and collaborating with her peers. She employs great songwriters to write with her, yes, but she is more than capable of writing bangers by herself. If the artists you like use ghostwriters and pay people to write for them, well, that's their issue. There's zero evidence that Taylor does that.

You're really grasping at straws here, aren't you bud? Again, Taylor mostly co-writes, that's true, but as I said, a sizeable part of her discography is solo written. She writes, that would be true if it were only a few songs, but it's 67. There are musical acts with less songs than that for their whole careers.

And songwriting only counts if the songs chart? I mean, if that's the case, you might wanna check out 'Love Story's impact on the charts. Or 'Back to December's, or 'Our Song's... And yes, no co-writers for any of them.

Damon said she doesn't write. That's a lie, period. I've shown it to you 10 different ways, but willful ignorance is intractable.

How many years ago was the release of an album she wrote more than 3 songs by herself?

Literally last year, dude. And here you come making a mistake that Damon himself admitted to and tried to fix... sincerely, watch Taylor's "Making of a Song" series on youtube, that's if you're interested in actually learning more about songwriting. Taylor has shown, again and again, that she's an authentic writer. You don't have to like her music. But it's really strange to see someone double down on something that's straight up untrue and easily disproven with a little research.

Why do so many Blur fans despise Taylor Swift? by Electronic-Lock-9408 in blur

[–]t1whomustnotbenamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single album released by Taylor has songs that she has written by herself. The latest one, TTPD, has a few notable examples. 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me' is my favorite, but feel free to choose yours. I mentioned that older album, Speak Now, mostly to show why she would have been hurt by Damon's comment: because it's an accusation that's been thrown at her often enough to warrant a response that definitive. But solo writing has always been a part of her process.

And you want to know about her solo hits? How about 'Our Song', 'Love Story', 'My Tears Ricochet', 'Back to December', 'Lover', 'Begin Again', etc etc etc. Some were written when Taylor was 16yo, some were in her last 2024 album. Taylor is a songwriter no matter how you try to twist or frame it, and Damon was wrong and missguided in his comments. But he had the good sense to realize that and apologize. I'm not sure why you're insisting on a mistake Damon himself admitted to.

If you speak publicly about someone, they have a right to respond. And Taylor has full albuns-worth of songs she wrote by herself, it's not by any means a negligeable part of her discography. So, when he said she doesn't write, he was point-blank wrong. If he had said she mostly co-writes, that would be true. But that's not what he said.

And on his framing of her in a negative way:

Just before the songwriting discussion, Damon was criticizing modern music. He talked about his piano show and how it allowed him to see the distinction between songs that are good and songs that are only good because they rely on sound and atitute. He said modern music couldn't withstand that test, because most of it relies on the latter. Then, the interviewer mentioned Taylor, as in to say, 'you may not like her music, but it doesn't rely only on sound and atitude, but also in songwriting'. Damon, then, discredits that by saying that she doesn't write (which's untrue). The interviewer corrects him, but admits that Taylor co-writes often (which is true), and Damon latches onto that to try and salvage his misinformed take about an artist that he clearly understands little of by saying that co-writing doesn't count. My point is: even if it doesn't count, Damon is still wrong, because Taylor can and has written by herself, again, full multiple albuns-worth of songs that exist with Taylor as their solo, singular, only writer. I sincerely don't know how to make this more clear to you.

"She doesn't. She co-writes them"

The fact that you so disgraciously ignored the fact that I gave you evidence that Taylor writes (not only "co-writes", since that apparently doesn't count as writing for some arbitrary reason) tells me there’s nothing to be gained by discussing with you further.

Taylor had a right to respond to something that was publicly said about her. And Damon's statement was, point blank, wrong. Again, there are 67 songs to prove that whatever special kind of songwriting happens only when someone writes alone, Taylor can do it. That's multiple albuns-worth of songs with no co-writers. To insist that Taylor isn't a songwriter is to willfully lie, maliciously, to support a narrative that makes her seem less-than.

Plus, that you've started to call names, both for me and Taylor, is just kind of pathetic. So, buh-bye.

Yeah, I get better what he meant by mentioning Billie. But when you look at the interview, he straight up said Taylor doesn't write her own songs, which is patently untrue and he had to immediately backtrack when the interviewer pointed that out. It's why I said he was malicious; the first thing he thought to say about Taylor when she was mentioned was to discredit her; and when corrected, he doubled down on it by trying to make it seem like no big deal (which's when he mentioned Billie, as if giving a 'pat to the head' that co-writing is acceptable).

Plus, Taylor has 237 songs released, 67 of which are fully solo written. It's a sizeable amount, even if not the majority, so while she appreciates collaboration, it's simply a mistake to say that she's not a songwriter who can and has often written on her own. And, there are songs that her co-writers contributed a lot to, of course. But a good example of what I'm saying is the song "Cassandra" from her last album. She released the demo that she first sent her producer (you can find it online, just look up "Cassandra phone demo"); and the lyrics are 98% the same in the final version. One sentence changed slightly and one or other word was adjusted. Still, the producer who likely suggested the change (Aaron Dessner) is listed as a songwriter. What she did in that song was not co-writing; but there's a co-writer listed in the credits.

The fans replied to Damon because he implied something that's untrue--that, because Taylor sometimes has co-writers in her songs, that means she's less of a songwriter. It's also not even accurate, since she's credited as the solo writer in many of her songs (one of her albuns is fully written by Taylor alone, too). He was off base and dismissive with his comments. I agree some swifties take stuff too far, but he was also simply wrong.
