She only had 12.

  Looking at her singles page on wikipedia (suspect source, but i don't know of a better one), looks like she's had 11 singles hit number 1 on billboard 100, and most of them are later songs. She's had many more in the top 10. I think your theses here is a bit suspect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_singles_discography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_singles_discograp...

    My point is that the OP named someone that wrote or co-wrote nearly every song she’s recorded undermining there entire argument.

      My point is that "artists" are huge teams of people. Here are the credits for Swift's top 12 hits. Of course I wasn't in the room for the writing of any of these, but the diverstiy of the team involved is at least notable, yeah? "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (2012): Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback "Shake It Off" (2014): Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback "Blank Space" (2014): Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback "Bad Blood" (featuring Kendrick Lamar) (2015): Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Max Martin, Shellback "Look What You Made Me Do" (2017): Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, Richard Fairbrass, Fred Fairbrass, Rob Manzoli "Cardigan" (2020): Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner "Willow" (2020): Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)" (2021): Taylor Swift, Liz Rose "Anti-Hero" (2022): Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff "Cruel Summer" (2023): Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, St. Vincent "Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)" (2023): Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff "Fortnight" (featuring Post Malone) (2024): Taylor Swift, Post Malone, Jack Antonoff

    Not sure why you think my thesis is suspect. She had 12 number one singles, and they all had different writers. Those are just facts that you can easily verify.

  Not sure why this is being downvoted. I'm not a fan at all, but as of last year, she had 12 number one singles. https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-number-one-hits-songs-billboard-hot-100-chart-2023-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-number-one-hits... Maybe there's been once since, but my point was she doesn't write her own songs...my point is about how the industry works now, compared to 30 years ago.
