Keke Palmer lauds Taylor Swift for exceptional song-writing skills: 'Her pen is lethal'

Keke Palmer sings praises for Taylor Swift for her commendable jobs - back-to-back hit singles and her songwriting skills.

The Nope star noted the praiseworthy work guts of Swift in her recent podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer.

"Taylor Swift. She has done it, baby. She did it," Palmer, 29, said. "When everybody counted her out, I mean, whether you listen to her music or not, mama is a skilled writer. Her pen is lethal, let's understand that. Her pen is lethal, honey."

The actress, singer, and TV personality remarked that when Swift, 33, released her third song, Our Song, off her self-titled debut album in 2006, she immediately had her hooked.

"Mama had me at, you know, ‘Our song is the slamming screen door,'" Palmer said, singing the song's chorus. "She had me there, you know what I’m saying? And then I was like, then I kind of got off, I was like, 'Oh no, I’m not, I don't listen to that.' That was when I was a teenager."

Palmer claimed that she had returned to being a devoted fan after finding Swift's most recent singles Anti-Hero and The Man - simply impossible to resist.

"Just the other day I’m hearing 'Anti-Hero.' And her talking about, ‘If I was a man, I'm the man,'" Palmer said. "She's still growing and shutting s--- down. So she did it."
