Here Are 13 Songs Taylor Swift Wrote for Other Artists

Taylor Swift’s prolific songwriting skills have endured through the 2000s, 2010s and deep into the 2020s. With 13 Hot 100 No. 1 hits (including “The Fate of Ophelia” with six weeks on top of the chart currently) and 15 Billboard 200 No. 1 albums (her latest release, The Life of a Showgirl, also sits at the top of that chart for its sixth straight week), she’s found great success with her catchy hooks, gorgeous melodies, and storytelling powers.

In addition to her charting accolades, Swift counts the record-breaking Eras Tour on her résumé as the highest-grossing tour of all time, as well as 58 Grammy nods (she and her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff are tied with the most nominations in the song of the year category with eight), with 14 wins, including four album of the year wins: Fearless in 2009, 1989 in 2005, Folklore in 2021 and Midnights in 2023, the most of any artist.

Her pen is spread throughout not just her own catalog, but others’ work too. She’s written songs for Miley Cyrus’ alter ego Hannah Montana, Boys Like Girls, B.o.B, Calvin Harris, Little Big Town, Sugarland, Big Red Machine (the indie supergroup of Swift friends Aaron Dessner – who produced and wrote with the superstar for Folklore, Evermore, Midnights 3 AM Edition, and The Tortured Poets Department – and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, who appears on both of her 2020 albums) and more.

Here are the 13 songs that Swift has penned that either other artists have recorded, she wrote directly for, or on which she appears as a feature.
