Taylor Swift's Secret Songwriting Hits Revealed

Taylor Swift's prolific songwriting talent extends far beyond her own successful discography, with the artist having secretly penned several hit songs for other artists.

In 2016, Swift wrote Little Big Town's hit song "Better Man." The group shared that Swift had approached them with the tune, believing her four-part harmonies would suit their style. Swift herself later recorded a version for her album "Red (Taylor's Version)."

Swift also contributed to the soundtrack of "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in 2009, co-writing the song "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home." Although she made a cameo in the film, her songwriting role for the movie's finale was significant.

Additionally, Swift co-wrote Kellie Pickler's 2006 hit "Best Days of Your Life" while on tour, even appearing in its music video. More famously, Swift was revealed to be the songwriter behind Calvin Harris and Rihanna's 2016 smash hit "This Is What You Came For," using the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg to maintain anonymity.

Her songwriting prowess was further highlighted when she collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber on the original song "Beautiful Ghosts" for the 2019 film adaptation of "Cats."
