The fact that a discussion about who writes better lyrics has lasted this long is ridiculous. This thread is just an example of blind stanning at this point
EDIT: Case in point.

like, seriously? the delusion
don't get me wrong, ATW is a fabulous song. that line isn't even that bad, but neither is the plastic bag lyric. people should be critical where it is necessary, but those two lines don't deserve it. pick apart some other lines. katy has some horrendous lyrics, but songs like TOY, Lost, ISB, Fingerprints, WAILF, TOTGA, WA, BTGOG, CYB are really great lyrics
Just cause Katy can Belt and has a powerful voice doesn't mean she can sing
Katy's High > TH > Taylors Average > KA > Taylors Worst > Katy's Worst
what in the world is this
Taylor Swift on average? She always hides behind the backing track 5x as loud as her to hide her paper-thin voice and can't stay on key for more than 5 seconds, she has the most embarrassing range of all pop girls sans Selena, why even try? And in before some stan posts one of those tragic flat notes she pretends she's belting like she's Mariah Carey

If Katy's songs are that great, why didn't any song of hers appear on a Pazz & Jop top 10 year end list yet, when Taylor has had several?
And let me not even say anything about Grammy's
She's not acclaimed, Taylor is. Taylor always wins
