• Many songs are co-written with others like Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner, Max Martin. That is common in pop music. But her lyrical and melodic ideas are real and credited. 

• In some cases she wrote entire albums solo. For example, Speak Now was written only by her. 

• Taylor herself has publicly rejected claims she doesn’t write her music, saying she writes all her songs and that it is false to say otherwise. 

• Some artists and collaborators defend her writing process, saying her creative role is significant and hands-on. 

Claims like “she doesn’t write her own songs at all” ignore the official credits and her own statements.

In simple terms:
•You can trust that Swift writes or co-writes her songs.
•She is not a pop puppet with ghostwriters doing the work.
•Co-writing does not mean she didn’t write anything. It means she worked with others on parts of the song.

That’s one source …

This is how she typically works.

• She writes lyrics and melody first. Often alone. Often on guitar or piano.
• She brings a finished or near finished song into the room. Verse, chorus, bridge already there.
• Collaborators help shape production. Tempo, synths, drums, arrangement.
• The studio is for polish, not invention.

Clear examples.

• Speak Now was written entirely by her before recording. No co writers.
• Folklore and Evermore demos show full lyrics and toplines before production.
• Jack Antonoff has said she arrives with songs basically done.
• Aaron Dessner has said she sends complete songs remotely. He builds around them.

She's not exactly old, early 30's can still be considered young ish. I guess attraction is individual, i find her attractive, but different strokes for different folks and all that.

I was just saying what I personally know her for.

I personally dislike the majority of her music, just not my personal taste and I personally think the fact she releases so many songs and albums in quick succession show how surface level a lot of them are. But that is just my opinion based on my own music taste.

Having said that, The Fate of Ophelia is a fantastic pop song, and I can't help but have The Man stuck in my head for days if I happen to hear it. She's obviously got talent of creating pop songs, they're just not my jam 99% of the time.

Same here tbh, I like some of her songs, but she's just not my favourite singer in the world.

I don't understand the strong dislike that she gets on certain corners of Social Media though.

Taylor Swift is good looking imo.

And I say that as someone that in general prefers dark haired women. So I'm surprised that you can't see her appeal in the looks department.

But fair enough I suppose.
