No. Taylor Swift is a better writer than every main stream pop artist out there. I guess you're saying that I could make a case for Katy Perry being a better writer for the simple fact that I like her music more and and she's a writer on all her songs? But no. We all know Taylor Swift can write better than Katy, and just because it's Taylor vs GaGa doesn't change the facts. The facts are that Taylor has less writers on her songs than GaGa ever has had and they're all highly acclaimed. So the simple fact of the matter is Taylor Swift is a better writer than GaGa no matter which angle you try to look at and the little monsters are just going to have to deal with it.

Your replies are a kiiii. A better songwriter is largely subjective, it's not factual unless you base it on something like induction to the Songwriters HOF. "The simple fact" is Taylor Swift has written more solo songs that have been released than Lady Gaga, but that doesn't automatically make her a better songwriter. The quantity line was in reference to this - having more songs written (solo or otherwise) doesn't make a person a better songwriter.
In my opinion, Taylor is more consistent writer, but Gaga has higher highs in songwriting (and corresponding bumps in the road where ideas really didn't pan out well). Gaga writers much better hooks, and Taylor Swift generally writes better verses, though there are exceptions for both.
