Here's A Collection Of All The Songs Taylor Swift Composed On Her Own, Take A Look

Taylor Swift returned to Twitter on Monday after a month-long absence to discuss Damon Albarn’s assertion that the “Shake It Off” singer doesn’t create her songs and that co-writing “doesn’t count” in a Los Angeles Times interview.

Swift defended herself after the Blur and Gorillaz frontman’s comments sparked outrage. she said: “I was such a great admirer of yours until I saw this. All of my songs are written by me. Your heated take is untrue, and it’s causing a lot of damage. You don’t have to enjoy my music, but trying to undermine my writing is a sham. WOW.” “I had a talk about songwriting and tragically it got turned into clickbait,” he subsequently apologized “unreservedly and completely.”

Taylor Swift does have a role in creating all of her songs, despite the criticism. Jack Antonoff, Max Martin, Ryan Tedder, Aaron Dessner, and even her actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn are among the co-writers on her studio albums, but she’s written a lot of songs — 54 to be exact — on her own since she was 12 years old. Speak Now, her third studio album, is completely made up of songs she created by herself.

Find 3 songs on which she has a solo credit, including a handful on which she doesn’t even sing, listed from the earliest original release to the most recent, along with a memorable Swift phrase.

1. Taylor Swift’s “The Outside” (2006)

“I attempted to take the route less travelled by/ But nothing seemed to work the first few times,” says one song.

2.”Should’ve Said no” Taylor Swift’s remark (2006)

“And baby, you know all the proper things to say/ But do you honestly expect me to believe/ We could ever be the same?” is a particularly memorable line.
