Damon Albarn isn’t sure whether or not he believes Taylor Swift writes her own songs — or whether or not people can read a transcript. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Albarn, the lead singer of the bands Blur and Gorillaz, said at one point that Taylor Swift “doesn’t write her own songs.” Swift herself quickly fired back at Albarn in a tweet, which prompted Albarn to clumsily walk back his statement in a direct response to Swift online.
“I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this,” Swift wrote on Twitter, linking to the interview. “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 fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.”
