Good on Taylor for sticking up for herself. She is an amazing singer/songwriter. Not fair for Damon to criticize without knowing the facts but good he realised he was in the wrong and apologized to her, which Taylor accepts
Bull , she has 3 entire albums that have won endless honors that she wrote totally herself, She is in the songwriters hall of fame and yes sometimes she writes with others. The woman has been named one of the greatest songwriters of her generation. Some Men just seem to have a hard time accepting a genius woman.
But it is true. She does not write all her songs and it is truly a diservice you all as the listener that even she is vulnerable to the supposed stigma of admitting that as an artist that, "they dont write, produce, and composer every single aspect of their music."
I should add. The most commonly used comeback to Damon I've seen is also always to do with how he's nothing compared to Taylor. Yet his mistake is for some reason really damaging. Surely if he's so unpopular then his misinformed take shouldn't be that big of a deal? All Taylor had to do was respond saying that's not true. I can't believe we're using the number of people who are aware of one's existence as a measure of validity. Not to mention the responses from her fans. So intensely hateful. It just reinforces how important his "reject false icons" idea is. Makes me a little ashamed to be a swiftie.
Damon was actually partially right about Taylor not writing her songs, assuming he knew about Max Martin. Max Martin is a song writer who has co-written many popular songs from the 2010s. A fraction of these songs include CANT STOP THE FEELING for DreamWorks Trolls, Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding, Roar by Katy Perry, So What by Pink, and many more. He has written a lot of Taylor Swift’s songs too. Here are a few of them: I Knew You Were Trouble We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Blank Space Bad Blood Shake it off Something I’ve noticed about songs Max Martins has co-written is that they all… suck. He has a very recognizable pop-ish sound that you can quite obviously hear in Taylor’s songs. I do know that Taylor has written plenty of songs herself, and when she does write them herself, they’re even better than when she co-writes them with Max. It wasn’t very nice of Damon to discredit all the work Taylor has done, but I do see where he was coming from. Max Martins writing style was a horrible influence on music imo. (I did some research after I wrote this and I believe Taylor stopped working with Martin?? I’m not sure, but if so, good for her)
I like Max Martin's work with The Weeknd. There's something different about it, that makes me feel like The Weeknd has a stronger contribution to at least the artistic direction of all his work than other pop stars. That being said, I ONLY like Max Martin's work with The Weeknd. Other than that, I agree
She actually cobwrote all of them liaten to blank space voice memo and making of a song series she usually comes up with a whole convept and melody of a song
Taylor co wrote all of these. And the world does not agree with you that these songs aren’t good. Millions sold and loved. Each to their own opinion by she is in charge of her music.
Naw, aint no way taylor writes crap. Lol. Damon can litteraly write a nursery ryme and it still be better quality than taylor swift. She may have fans but theres 1 difference between her and ya boi Damon. People dont hate and meme on Damon and his fanbase for being insufferable and obnoxious af. Heck i bet taylor takes a plane just to get out of bed and go down stairs to put on her makeup all while her swifties are doing sum cultish chant tryna summon her on stage
It's clear to me that Damon was misinformed and just used her as an example (unknowingly incorrectly). There was no ill intent. I can understand why he made this mistake as many similar artists don't write their own songs either. Even the interviewer implied she didn't write any alone. "That's not true" "she co-writes some of them." Instead of just saying she writes some. Which supported reinforced Damon's misconception. In spite of all this, Damon did not say this was a bad thing, and goes on to compliment a singer who never wrote any of their songs. I'm a fan of both the works of Damon and Taylor but the response from the latter felt a little excessive.
Glad that she actually spoke up about it and defended herself. Such an ignorant thing to say to someone who has written their own music for so many years. And everyone knows that by now. If you’re going to talk shit about someone without knowing the facts, then keep up the same energy. Not just fake an apology because of the backlash you’re getting.
He did it for the trend. I think he has some new music and it's better if people talk about him good or bad so he can promote himself. What a low move. So disappointing to see an artist doing this to another artist, especially a woman.
He did it in an interview and I'm pretty sure it was an attempt to pick up the reputation of a potential future collaborator. His music often does have a pretty wide audience when it comes out but it is an incredibly low move.
@@tabithathecat Perhaps when he brought up Billie, sure, but with Taylor, I think he said it out of ignorance, and assumed she was like everyone else, which was of course wrong, and why he apologised. But I think he was trying to address an issue in relation to co-writing in the music industry, particularly with pop music, but falsely assumed that Taylor Swift applied to said issue
I wouldn’t apologize she doesn’t write her own music because she can’t play in instrument proficiently people that write music are extremely good in instruments and she can barely play. She’s strums and she’s fingerpicks. She’s not a professional musician. She’s a semi professional singer and musician. She is an entertainer. I’m not even going to waste my time with this because I’m becoming famous as a musician. We need to get 18 year olds and 20 year olds out there. She’s almost middle-age and just start getting some really young people in the door so we can get these people who are not really professionals out of the window.
no matter what, people should not talk about something they don't know or have a full grasp of, yes, everyone is opinionated nowadays. Everything is torn out of the context. But it's such a global drama? He probably even didn't want to proceed with it, cause he has more important things to do and not give a damn. So in a English manner, he was being polite. Yes, most likely, cause its Taylor Swift

@@aJ-cv4id she co wrote them that's what Damon said, Taylor in her dishonest tweet accused him of saying things he didn't say, he only said cowriting is less hard than writing
@@stefanor.1771 He did say "She doesn't write her own songs". And if you read the entire interview, he actually means it. Which is 100% incorrect. Taylor Swift has writing credits on ALL her songs, and there is enough evidence that she is very deeply involved in the cowriting. Not to mention that she is the sole writer on a large number of her songs and has written her 3rd album entirely by herself.
Would love to hear him expand upon that “clickbait” claim since the interview published was a transcript… not an article. Now he wants to discredit the journalist, too?
To be fair, you could do that with a large amount of Damon's songs as well. And any other song. Because songs are literally just poems written to a beat. And I don't really see how his career needed him to "rejuvinate" it, as he's been incredibly successful lately and has a massive audience. One of his bands even has a world record. My theory is that it was to bring her down in order to make other singers, who he could collaborate with, look better. Also, he's always had some pretty strong views on mainstream music as well, which are seen here. Honestly, it was one hell of a low move and as a fan of both Gorillaz and Taylor Swift, I'm kinda disappointed in him and hope that he could at least do some basic research before commenting on another artist in such a way.
I don't even like Damon Albarn much, but you can't compare him to Taylor Swift. He's been in two successful bands, both of which he was the main writer for.
Why I think,that Damon is doing this to be on headlines...u knw..."The world moves on another day another drama drama...but not for tay,not for tay ,all she thinks about is Karma"❤️❤️❤️
He is old enough to know the facts before giving a statement. He especially as an artist, definitely knew who Taylor Swift is. He is a kind of person that needs attention. He apologized after getting what he wanted. I didn't know him until after his f*cked up statement about Taylor that define who he is. There are a lot of people just like him. Trying to take her down because they know Tay is a music industry. What a shame after trying to credit of Taylor Swift's fame.
Damon you are awful. Taylor is very inteliigent please she is brilliant with her spng writing Why trying to dicredit her. Damon you just did it to yourself. Love u Taylor.
I really don't think he would do something like this for fame since that is not his focus at his age and state of mind atm. Their fanbases are really different so I wouldn't jump to conclusions like that (which is kind of ironic in a situation like this for me to say). Anyways sorry for this incredibly long comment, but I just think this situation was a misunderstanding and ofcourse a mistake on Albarns part probably just because he was misinformed.
Damon Albarn was literally in the top 2 most famous rock/pop bands in the late 90s and he was the front man for his band, + the later solo/gorillaz career has continued very successfully up to this date. So the mental gymnastics that you are doing by saying that his doing this for fame is actually embarrassingly ignorant.
@@DjDMA yup folklore and Evermore are soooo basic ! And stop lying that you have worked with her! And pop songs are always basic , but her country and folk song are best written songs af all time- eg - all too well!
