I don't believe she writes all her own songs. It's common knowledge most country singers have ghostwriters. Even rappers have them

Taylor has always been a songwriter first though. She signed a publishing deal with sony at 14 as a songwriter.. Even John Mayer didn't believe she wrote all her songs until they worked together. She's the queen.

What utter lies. It is common knowledge that the country music industry is the most fiercely protective of its songwriting credits. Carrie Underwood got co-write credits on just over half her latest album. Luke Bryan got 2 co-write credits on his latest album. Jason Aldean has zero credits on his latest album, nor does Blake Shelton. So kindly tell me how it is common knowledge that country singers have ghostwriters, when most receive very few co-songwriting credits, let alone solo-writing credits like the Lord.

YAS GU!

It's so funny when people try to come for her songwriting credits when there's actually ZERO reports or even rumors that her credits are even slightly wrong. Run out of stuff to criticize her for much?

You seem strangely determined to expose Tay or something
Like I said before, literally zero reports or rumors of anything. Songs written since 11 years old. Multiple cowriters praising her skills, and many discussion on her song writing process
Get over it, Taylor got an award. Move on with your life.

Nonsensical. They say Verlon Thompson 'ghostwrote' "Bad Angel" (they even get the name of the song wrong) but he received a Grammy nomination for it and Miranda Lambert/Dierks Bentley just covered the song, so how is this a ghostwrite? This article is even specifically about the fact that country artists who are presented to the GP are often not the ones writing the music (nor are they credited with doing so), so you have proved my point. It is rare in country music for the performer and writer to be one and the same, making the Lord even more special.

If anything Taylor gives credits too easily. Liz Rose with whom Taylor has done a few epics with has said she really did not deserve to be credited for her slight editing help. Also Taylor gave co-writing credit to 'Ronan' for using a few phrases from the mothers blog. I am sure Maya would have been OK without it.

Taylor is the purest songwriter among relevant pop girls, imo.

No.

TayLegend SwifTalent to be honest

Dumb

for all 3. I'm guessing this wasn't around during Johnny Cash's or Dolly Parton's peak years otherwise they would be up there with Tay and these guys.

Easy to disprove your claim.

Ghostwriters, are just like any other Country songwriters, rely too much on Country cliches. And the songs they wrote have one purpose, to smash and sell bucket loads. They limit the song length to 3 mins.

Taylor's music? The ones She writes by herself? No Country cliches. And If you look at the length..... Speak Now's shortest track is 3:37. Only about 5 songs total from Deluxe Edition in 3 mins range, the rest are 4 mins+. Now if She does use ghostwriters, why would they wrote long ass songs that wouldn't get played on the radio? No money for them.

Plus listening to Her songs are pretty much like listening to diary-entries-turned-to-songs by a girl in her twenties instead of songs written by a group of men/women. It's painfully obvious.
