Swift Defence Jedward defend Taylor Swift over claims she doesn't write her songs

Jedward have defended Taylor Swift after British musician Damon Albarn claimed that she didn’t write her own songs.

In an interview with the LA Times, Blur frontman and co-founder of virtual band Gorillaz Albarn (53) said that Swift “doesn't write her own songs.”

He added that he is much “more attracted to” Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, who he thinks are “really interesting songwriters.”

But 11-time Grammy winner Swift didn’t take lightly to Albarn’s comments, slamming his statements as “completely false and so damaging.”

Taking to Twitter, the pop superstar tagged Albarn in a tweet and wrote: “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 f**ked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.”

The 32-year-old added: “PS I wrote this tweet all by myself in case you were wondering.”

Albarn then retracted his comments and apologised to Swift publicly, claiming that his words were twisted by the LA Times to generate clicks.

He said: “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”

But Albarn’s apology was received poorly by fans online, and even Irish pop duo Jedward got involved in the chaos on Monday night.

Responding to Albarn’s apology on their joint Twitter account, the twins defended Swift and wrote: “Fake AF you said what you said! you are degrading Hope you understand – Jedward”

Hordes of fans praised Jedward, whose real names are John and Edward Grimes, for “dragging” Albarn and showing him where the door is.

“GET HIM JEDWARD!!!!!!” one fan wrote.

Another wrote: “Quite enjoying Jedward weighing in on the Swift/Albarn feud though. Heroic.”

“SCREAMING at Jedward getting involved. Icons,” a third chimed in.
