Jan. 25 (UPI) —<\/span> Taylor Swift called out David Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz fame on Twitter after the musician said that Swift did not write her own songs.<\/p>\n

Albarn’s comments appeared in an interview<\/a> that was published recently by the Los Angeles Times. Interviewer Mikael Wood mentioned Swift to Albarn who said she didn’t write her own songs.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

Albarn, after told that Swift also co-writes some of her tracks, denied that she did.<\/p>\n

“That doesn’t count. 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,” Albarn said.<\/p>\n

Swift then responded to Albarn on Twitter Monday.<\/p>\n

“@DamnAlbarn I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. 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 [expletive] up to try and discredit my writing. WOW,” Swift said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Albarn tweeted back an apology shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

“I totally agree with you. I had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait. I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally. The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand – Damon,” he said<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Swift was recently named the first-ever Record Store Day Global Ambassador. Record Store Day, which celebrates independent record stores, takes place on April 23. Swift will be offering a special release in honor of the event.<\/p>\n
