Neither are amazing lyricists but Gaga is a lot more diverse, so her.

Taylor.

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Archetype

Gaga.

Gaga, no question

Easily, Taylor.

DrownedWorld

Taylor seems to be much better at storytelling. Gaga recycles hooks a lot.

Liberdade mi amor

Even tho RED made me sub-stan for Taylor , I ll say Gaga.

But Taylor's material on RED sis dope.

Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall

Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine

the diversity

Gaga of course

Taylor's writing is cringeworthy tbh..

Love is just a history that they may prove
And when you're gone I'll tell them my religion's you
When Pontius comes to kill the king upon his throne
I'm ready for their stones.

We are not just art for Michelangelo
To carve. He can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart.
I will wait on mountain tops in Paris cold
J'veux pas mourir toute seule [French for: "I don't want to die alone"]

Icannot

I met a girl in east LA
In floral shorts as sweet as May
She sang in eights in two barrio chords
We fell in love, but not in court

La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la

I don't S
I don't S

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, America, Americano
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, America, Americano

Lady Gaga.

Not you trying to belittle it.

Gaga

Achilles.

They grew up learning to write in different ways and they're more or less equally capable with their given styles. That said, Taylor's highs are a bit higher than Gaga's highs and Gaga's lows are a bit lower than Taylor's lows. Unfortuantely, quoting specific examples probably wouldn't lead to any sort of accurate assessment given that every person who posts here will have different ideas of what constitutes "better songwriting."
