According to Billboard, Taylor Swift has written 54 of her own songs entirely by herself. The list includes some of Swift’s biggest hits like “Love Story,” “Fifteen,” and “Red.” However, 14 of those tracks belong to “Speak Now,” the singer-songwriter’s third album, which was released in 2010. While promoting “Speak Now,” Swift shared that, unlike some of her past projects, the songs were entirely her own words. “I actually wrote all the songs by myself for this record,” the 32-year-old shared with her fans during a webcast at the time. “I didn’t have any co-writers. And it didn’t really happen on purpose. It just happened to happen that way. Like, I’d get my best ideas at 3 a.m. in Arkansas,” she added. (via CMT).
Years later, in 2019, Swift expanded upon her reasoning for penning the entire album herself, citing the public notion that she didn’t write her own music, according to Rolling Stone. “I’ve had several upheavals in my career,” Swift shared. “When I was 18, they were like, ‘She doesn’t really write those songs.’ So my third album I wrote by myself as a reaction to that.”
Swift’s decision to write “Speak Now” alone served her well, as the album houses some of her most beloved and successful hits, including “Back To December,” “Mean,” and “Dear John,” which she reportedly penned about her relationship with John Mayer.
