Damon Albarn's Taylor Swift insult follows him to his Monday concert in L.A.
Before launching into a rendition of the 1997 Blur hit “Song 2,” Albarn told the crowd that Times pop music critic Mikael Wood suggested he play that track “before he cast me into the social media abyss.”. “I think I’m becoming old-fashioned. ... This is for you, Mikael.”Before his solo show at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Blur and Gorillaz leader sounds off on Taylor Swift, the Rolling Stones, Boris Johnson and L.A.
During a conversation published Monday in The Times, Wood hailed Swift as “an excellent songwriter,” to which Albarn replied, “She doesn’t write her own songs.” When Wood pushed back — saying, “Of course she does,” while noting that the Grammy winner “co-writes some of them” — Albarn doubled down.“I know what co-writing is. Co-writing is very different to writing. I’m not hating on anybody, I’m just saying there’s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes. Doesn’t mean that the outcome can’t be really great. And some of the greatest singers — I mean, Ella Fitzgerald never wrote a song in her life.
Albarn also lauded anti-pop phenom Billie Eilish and her producer brother, Finneas, as “really interesting” songwriters — before adding that he is “more attracted” to Eilish’s music than to Swift’s.“I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this,” Swift“I write ALL of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don’t have to like my songs but it’s really f— up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.
