Damon Albarn is apologizing to Taylor Swift after he remarked in a Los Angeles Times interview that she doesn’t write her own songs.
The Blur and Gorillaz singer said that she co-writes her songs and that “there’s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes.”
Swift shared the interview on Twitter and commented, “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 later replied to Swift saying, “I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally. The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand.”
@DamonAlbarn 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. You don’t have to like my songs but it’s really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW. https://t.co/t6GyXBU2Jd

Do you think Damon Albarn should be so critical about someone like Taylor Swift when he also praises Billie Eilish, another “co-writer?”
