Liz Rose

Singer - Songwriter

American · 21st century

Nashville songwriter and Taylor's early co-writing partner. Known for her ability to capture authentic teenage emotion in lyric form.

Connection to Taylor Swift

One of Taylor’s earliest and most important co-writers, central to the Nashville years. Taylor describes their working method: she would pour out a stream of consciousness while Rose sat with a notepad and helped shape it, a way of writing Taylor loved enough to return to across album after album. Rose co-wrote much of the early catalogue with her, from Tim McGraw and Teardrops on My Guitar to White Horse, You Belong with Me and the original All Too Well.
