5 hit songs written by Taylor Swift for other artists, including Miley Cyrus, that became major chart successes

Taylor Swift’s writing often travels far beyond her albums, and these five songs prove it. From the aching country lift of “Better Man” to the homecoming comfort of “You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home,” her lyrics stay clear and emotionally precise. “This Is What You Came For” shows how she can shape a pop hook that fills a dance floor, even under a pen name. “Babe” transforms a single word into a poignant refrain, while “Best Days of Your Life” transforms heartbreak into a sense of relief. Together, they show range, craft, and a steady gift for storytelling.
