Country legend Vince Gill produced it and did back up vocals. It's a better song than any country single from Blown Away, Four The Record or Red, except for Begin Again and maybe Blown Away.
STDP was the better country album though.
That's what I meant, it deserved the grammy because it was actually a country album. RED was the better album overall regardless of genre.
It's amazing. They sound great together and Katy and Kacey both harmonize well, which is one of the most difficult things to do when you sing with someone else.
Taylor, Adele and Gaga, for example, write lyrics AND melodies, which makes me enjoy their music a bit more.
Lorde, though, writes lyrics over the melody the producer wrote, and it's still very enjoyable.
Taylor will sometimes let hit producers write lyrics for her, in order to achieve a catchier song. (As in WANEGBT and IKYWT)
People like Katy, Rihanna and Beyst don't write anything, as long as I'm aware.
Dunno about Rih.
But Katy and Bey do indeed write lyrics and melodies to varying degrees based on the intent and purpose of the song.
Basically the same thing as Taylor.
