Julie Andrews never wrote a song.
The topic is songwriters not singers.


I know, but I don't know if anyone even covers Swift's songs. My point was, that if someone performs a song, including a non-writer like Elvis or Sinatra, and people like the songs, whoever wrote it wrote a good song, even if the song was written for a professional singer like Andrews, and not for a Church congregation, or the patrons at a London pub.

SecondHandSongs (a comprehensive database of cover versions) lists Taylor Swift with 226 originals. Many of these—especially her hits—have dozens of documented covers.

Her top-covered tracks include:
"Shake It Off" (~89 artists)
"Blank Space" (~79)
"I Knew You Were Trouble" (~60)
"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (~58)
"Love Story" (~56)
And others like "Style," "Bad Blood," "You Belong with Me," etc., with 40–50+ each.
