God, are we back to that again? Are you not tired singing the same tune over and over again?

And unless I am mistaken, her name is on there too. The one you chose NOT to highlight and underline?

And did you read that article I linked to with Time magazine about people accusing her that she can't write? The bit about she has already proven she can write an entire album on her own (and sells millions), and now people should move past that and move on so she can free to choose who she wants to collaborate with, without the stigma from them.

She is a country singer, moving into pop. Another genre, just to point that out again.

The smart thing is to work with someone who knows pop music (look at Max Martin's track record) and not jump into it blindly.

Now I know how she must feel. :p

You stated your beloved wrote that song. The simple fact is she didn't - she helped write some of the song. And looking at the credentials of the other 2 is was quite obviously not that big part either.

Are you criticising someone choosing to work with smart people with a proven track record? Or are you suggesting she chose to work with them because she hasn't proven that she could write a multi million selling album?

Multi million selling artist chooses to work with multi million selling record producers shocker!

As for that point, I'll quote the guardian, who no doubt listens to more music than I do.

But the really striking thing about 1989 is how completely Taylor Swift dominates the album: Martin, Kurstin et al make umpteen highly polished pop records every year, but they’re seldom as clever or as sharp or as perfectly attuned as this, which suggests those qualities were brought to the project by the woman whose name is on the cover.

No, I am pointing out that you are defending her by lauding her witty ironic lyricism when she wasn't actually writing those lyrics ...

For all you know, Martin and co. only need to change me to I in a sentence and get credit, of course, it's a 2 ways street and goes the other way too. Which brings me to the quote by the Guardian.

Ps, Taylor swift fan geek point, in the bonus material of the album, there are tracks that she recorded on her phone with nothing but her guitar, as people have asked her what is her song writing process, then she play that back in the studio. These are under a minute but the chorus, some lyrics and the melody are all there, albeit has a country influence on acoustic.

I've never said she doesn't have talent I just don't think this is the second coming of the messiah like you do. In the same way I think she is extremely attractive but I still rather have Katy Petty if it came to female singers.

Is it true that you was this fanatical about Avril Lavigne?
 
i liked some Avril tracks but the girl can't write, her best songs isn't written by her (not even a credit).

Btw, I don't think she is the second coming but she didn't get to where she is by winning X factor. This isn't her 15 minute of fame, she's been selling millions of albums for nearly a decade. So I find it weird when people see a blonde girl who sings pop songs jumps to the typical conclusion.

Ps I have seen Katy Perry live as well.

And actually, my favourite singer songwriter however isn't even Taylor. :p

Cant stand the girl.

She walks around as though the whole place should be looking at her, and seems like a right pompus cow.

More importantly, she has zero curves - has a body like a 14 year old boy, and wouldn't know cool if it slapped her in that smiley little face ;)

I give her <10 years before she implodes and does a Britney.
