“In fact, if Swift’s song had been too sexual, the group may not of have let her use it.”

Is it of or have?
Just use both.

Wow, never knew that. I guess another earlier example would be Bruno Mars giving Trinidad James a writing credit for using the phrase “don’t believe me, just watch” from his song All Gold Everything, even though it’s sung in a completely different way

(Always been amazed at how identical the two songs are)

Yeah, always thought this was much more obvious than Blurred Lines/Got To Give it Up…

“There was an arch outside Buckingham Palace that has a heating duct and I spent a couple of nights there. That’s where I wrote the song ‘Homeless,’” Sheeran wrote. He later clarified the comments, saying he had never been homeless but that he just “went without a bed for some nights, that’s it.”

Jessie J actually co-writes a lot of her songs so she’ll be getting those sweet publishing royalties. She also co-wote Party In the USA for miley cyrus, i bet that song alone generates a shit ton of money.

I have a relative who co-wrote a song for Fleetwood Mac, on what’s generally considered their worst/least popular post-Rumours album, but it made it onto a ‘Best Of’ in the 80s and I’m pretty sure he still lives off the royalties.

He was probably feeling a little light headed so needed some smelling salts.

I remember an interview with her where she said that she lived purely off the royalties for Party in the USA for about five years.

People seriously underestimate how much more money there is in publishing/songwriting than in being a pop star per se.

Are those discs really heavy or is it the frame? They also look like they just robbed Eminem (as I remember him) to fuel some sort of creepy/life destroying habit. We know that middle finger is just a shield to hide behind man, get help!

this is FAKE NEWS. ed has actually installed these to keep paps off his property. let’s not lose our heads here fams.
