    Lol I love your humour, and agree with your perspective. I think an album isn’t just about writing it, but also majorly about the delivery, Beyoncé’s delivery on her albums are phenomenal, and the cultural impact of particularly Lemonade & Renaissance are unmatched. She contributes to the writing but doesn’t fully immerse herself into it because she did a lot of that during destiny’s child, to the point of winning the vanguard for songwriting award. Her focus since going solo has always been about her creative delivery vocally. I’d argue that songwriting has never been a bonus point especially in pop music, R Kelly wrote a lot for Michael Jackson, Whitney didn’t write, majority of legends didn’t write but their delivery is what dominated. So to me I value Beyonce more as an artist, because vocally she dominates & she’s already proven she’s capable of writing great songs. Taylor is a great writer but her delivery isn’t captivating, wether in the studio or on stage. Either way both are great in their respective fields, and I’m glad they have a great bond.

      @@sinhueherrera8984 Beyonce doesn't write all of her music but she does write some of it. Her music is also extremely personally to herself so we can not say she doesn't write any of it. She also wrote a lot of Destiny's Child hits. I think people like to claim she doesn't write to discredit her but she is extremely involved in the production of her albums. There a many interviews with people who work with her who have described her process.

      ​@@smallanonymousfunctionShe used to write much more in Destiny's Child, these days she rarely writes yet takes credit for songwriting from songwriters who aren't that renowned to the point that they are exposing it now.
      As a vocalist and performer, she is definitely stronger than Taylor Swift however as a songwriter (actually coming up with the music) Taylor Swift is much stronger.

      ​​@@GarageStudio7People love to say how she writes her own music, but she has collaborating writers too.
      No one knows which is which as far as who wrote the really got ones and who wrote the lack luster ones, just like lots of artists that are already icons.
      Michael Jackson had lots of writers, Prince has written with and for other people.
      Everybody "Anti Beyonce" will exhaust the fact that she has collaborators on her writing...yet will try to discredit her as s writer when she clearly does.
      Taylor's music is Kidz bop level and her singing is average.
      There is nothing note worthy for 4 wins in that category.
      She's their Blonde hair/blue eyed Barbie for symbolism. The agenda is to oversaturate the public with her image...and they have.
      She's an opportunist who only dates and/or takes plenty of publicity pics in order to look like the perfect "Pick me" girl that everyone more famous wants to hang with.
      The way she disrespected Celine on stage and then her people rushed to get her a photo op backstage to do damage control...it's transparent.
      She is not even in the same league as those iconic people, but starting to eat up the benefits of it all.
      No....just no!

I havent even listened to that album. but if it won, then yes, RENAISSANCE definitely is worthy of winning AOTY! & i say that behind SELF TITLED and LEMONADE! The womans catalogue is unmatched by anyone in her generation! This is insane. I mean 4, won 1 grammy for Love on top! That album is underrated! Full of classics!

    I honestly don't feel like Taylor Swift's songwriting has matured since her earlier career. Her "eras" sound very similar to me. She definitely has some great songs. I don't see what's pushing limits or changing things. But Destiny's child Beyoncé is different from self-titled and 4 Beyoncé, who is also different from Lemonade or Renaissance Beyoncé.

      My response...because if we don't then those that want to bring her down and silence her and discredit her will have an easy chance to do just that.
      With Taylor looking like she's playing at being a "popstar Barbie" she switched from playing Country music "girl next door" type, then realized there was a void in pop music for the next Britney.
      There's no way she could have gotten this big in country music because the competition is intense.
      And let's keep it real, the demographic that go for her has a huge population in comparison to other communities.
      Her music gives me Kidz Bop on Karaoke night.

If the music doesn’t sonically align with vibe/personal taste, I am usually not going back to it to dig deeper. I hope that I did not offend anyone with my comment, it’s just about my personal taste and Taylor’s music is just not my cup of tea. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that people try to compare Beyonce and Taylor, when they are clearly on different lanes. Also, this particular discussion was about Taylor winning 4 aoty, which I personally don’t think is entirely well deserved in comparison with the other nominees

    But I thought Miley Cyrus winning record of the year was the only silver lining. Flowers is a great song.

    The music landscape has changed from enlightenment to just currency. What the music house will gain... the engineer. We're living in a era where auto-tune/AI is equalized with vocalization. A human using their given skills against the machine. In the end the world suffers creatively, the standard diminished. Delusions.
