Taylor Swift calls out Damon Albarn over songwriting comments
Taylor Swift has criticised Damon Albarn , lead singer of Blur and later of Gorillaz, after He Said that she doesn't write her own music.
Talking to the LA Times, Albarn replied to The Interviewer calling Swift " an excellent songwriter" by stating " she doesn't write her own songs".
Swift responded on Twitter: " I was such a Big Fan of yours until I saw this. "
" I write all of My Own songs. Your hot take is completely false and so damaging. "
Albarn said in The Interview that he prefers Billie Eilish , who he called a " really interesting songwriter".
" I'm more attracted to that than to Taylor Swift . It's just darker - Less endlessly upbeat. Way more minor and odd. I think she's exceptional. "
Eilish co-writes her songs with her brother, producer Finneas.
When The Interviewer said that Swift co-writes her music, Albarn responded: " That doesn't count. I know what co-writing is. Co-writing is very different to writing. I'm not hating on anybody, I'm Just Saying there's a Big Difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes. "
There was a swift backlash on Twitter, including from producer Jack Antonoff , who has worked with Swift extensively.

I had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait. I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally. The Last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand. "
This is not the First Time Albarn has caused controversy when criticising pop stars. He once reportedly called Adele " insecure" after they had worked together on music that was never released.
" It ended up being one of those 'don't meet your idol' moments, " she later told Rolling Stone .
" And the saddest thing was that I was such a big Blur fan Growing Up . But it was sad, and I regret hanging out with him. "
Albarn later denied calling her insecure, stating the reports were concocted from someone overhearing a conversation with a friend.
