Swift tweeted on Monday, ‘I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. ‘I write all my songs myself. Your hot take is completely false and so damning. You don’t have to like my lyrics, but it’s really f***** to try to discredit my writing. Very good.’
‘P.S. I wrote this tweet myself, in case you were wondering,’ Swift, who is world famous for her heartfelt and provocative lyrics, said.
His reaction came after Albarn, 53, said Pop, 32, “doesn’t write his own songs” and relies on the help of co-writers.
After pop music critic Mikel Wood praised Swift’s songwriting abilities in an LA Times interview, Albarn aired her belief that ‘co-writing is very different from writing.’
“I’m not hating on anyone, I’m just saying there’s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes. That doesn’t mean the result can’t really be great,’ he told the outlet.
Albarn later apologized, claiming that his remarks were ‘taken out of context and used as clickbait.’

The British musician praised Billie Eilish as a ‘really interesting songwriter’ and his brother, Finnace O’Connell.
‘I’m more attracted to her than Taylor Swift. It’s just deeper — less endlessly upbeat,’ he said of the 20-year-old Bad Guy hitmaker.
He continued: ‘Way more modest and awkward. I think she is extraordinary.’
But Albarn’s possible attempts to bring about a rivalry between the two performers will prove futile.
Although Eilish and Swift haven’t collaborated yet, the ladies have been seen hugging and cheering each other at events during their 2021 Grammy Awards performance.
In 2019, Eilish thanked Swift for ‘taking care of her’ and breaking down barriers as a woman in the music industry while accepting Billboard’s Woman of the Year Award.

Saying sorry: Albarn has since left a public apology under Swift’s tweet, which read: ‘I completely agree with you. I chatted about songwriting and sadly got it down to clickbait.
That same night, Swift spoke about ‘toxic male privilege’ and how ‘women in music are not allowed to coast’.
‘We are held to a high, sometimes impossible-feeling, standard,’ she said during her speech, which received a standing ovation.
She criticized those who claimed, earlier in her career, that ‘a male producer or co-writer’ was responsible for her success.
“Over the past 10 years, I’ve seen women in this industry be criticized and each other measured and chosen for their bodies, their romantic lives, their fashions,” she continued.
Antonoff, 37, says he has “never met Damon Albarn” and says the artist has “never” been to his studio, where he has worked on every single Swift album since 2014.
“But apparently he knows more than the rest of us about all the songs that Taylor writes and brings out,” he quipped.
After receiving backlash on social media, Albert made a public apology under Swift’s tweet, which read: ‘I completely agree with you. I talked about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait.
‘I apologize unconditionally and unconditionally. The last thing I want to do is defame your songwriting. I hope you understand,’ he concluded.
Allegedly Albern Adele called ‘Very Insecure’ and her work ‘Middle of the Road’ in 2015, Easy On Me writer tells Rolling stones.
She said, ‘It’s one of those ‘not meeting your ideal’ moments From Albarn’s comments. “It was one of those moments that didn’t meet your ideal.”
She continued: ‘But it was sad, and I regret hanging out with him.’
“They said I was insecure when I am the least insecure person I know,” she reflected.
