Amazing stance to take. Tell your own story girl. Don't be a soulless vessel for others to tell what they think your emotional truth it. I love this...and I stan for girls who use writing camps. It's lazy as ****. Do your job.
Not everyone has the ability to write music though. It's not like you can't relate to what others write and be able to convey your emotion through another person's words. If that was the case then none of us would stan for singers. We all live through what they have to say, and there is no shame in that.
Thats exactly why all her songs sound the same. She has no musucal growth. Same topic new beat.
Some can sing, some can write , some can do both. I much rather listen to an artist with a good voice singing other people words. Than an artist singing her own songs sounding bland.
They assist her in writing the lyrics, which is her singing their words.

Recently, Imogen Heap (who co-wrote the emotional ballad "Clean," the album closer) wrote a blog post about her day working with Swift. And for fans of either singer, it's a great peek into how a collaboration comes together.
Heap praises the experience, but shares, "I have to be honest here and say that I ever so slightly had not done my homework on Taylor Swift but had done what I HATE others do of me, which is to pre-judge a person based on assumptions. I had assumed Taylor didn't write too much of her own music (as is the case with many young, extremely successful artists these days who sell a shed load of records), and was likely puppeteered by an aging gang of music executives."
Yeah, she was wrong. Elsewhere in the post, Heap shares how quickly "Clean" came together, and what a positive experience the whole thing was. They even had tea!
"Felt I wanted to share the experience, as it was a special one. I've also been reading the odd report or tweet here and there that the reason the lyrics to 'Clean' are so good is because I wrote the song with her but FOR SURE they are all hers she deserves all the credit!"
But, It is a drag that you cannot win, because it is a very ludicrous drag on the edge of delusion as most people know of Taylor's abilities and talents. The more you drag, the more we laugh at you.
