Singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee talks shock Taylor Swift link and why writing with Katy Perry was 'difficult'


The Grammy-nominated artist is considered the 'founding mother of recession pop,' for her work with stars like Ke$ha, Cher, Christina Aguilera, and more.

Even if you're not familiar with Bonnie McKee's name, you most certainly know her body of work - the famed songwriter was behind some of the most massive hits of the aughts, including Roar, California Gurls, and Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears, and Dynamite by Taio Cruz. Of course, the song and its catchy chorus quickly became inescapable, with even Lorde poking fun at it with her lyrics on Team: 'I'm kinda over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air.' It comes at a time where other independent artists like Kate Nash and Tyson Ritter from the All American Rejects are having similar conversations, and have even started OnlyFans accounts to make money to support their music after no longer working with major labels.
