Her music ranges in style and genres even though she is predominantly known for her own hit numbers, Taylor has also written some hit songs for other artists. Here are five songs that are written by Taylor Swift for other artists.
Better Man by Little Big Town
People are less aware that Taylor Swift has an inclination towards country music. Back in October 2016, the country band Little Big Town debuted their song Better Man which was the first preview of their album Breaker. The song went on to become one of the highest-grossing tracks of the year earning both commercial and critical acclaim. It even went on to win the 'Song Of The Year' award at the 2017 Country Music Awards.
Best Days Of Your Life by Kellie Pickler
Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift had co-written the song Best Days Of Your Life while being on a tour with Brad Paisley. Kellie had reportedly stated that she was going through a bad breakup back then so the two artists sat down to write a song about the relationship which went sour. Kellie had also stated that her ex-boyfriend had listened to the song so it was a bittersweet experience for her.
This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris
