Jack White Revisits Controversial Taylor Swift Remarks

Jack White has responded to backlash over .

The White Stripes artist, 50, struck a chord with Swift's, 36, fans as he discussed songwriting in an interview with The Guardian published on Sunday.

Asked if his songs are fully autobiographical, he answered: 'Not too much. Now it’s become very popular in the way of pop singers writing about all of their publicly aired break-ups, which I don’t find interesting at all.'

On Monday he posted a since-deleted statement explaining what he meant: 'Putting this up for a day and then taking down to just put this to bed. I didn’t say that I think Taylor Swift’s music was "boring" or whatever click bait the net is trying to scrape together.'

Per a report from Rolling Stone, he clarified, 'What I was trying to say in an interview I did about poetry and lyric writing, was that I don’t find it interesting at all for ME to write about MYSELF in my own lyric writing and poetry because I think that it could be repetitive for ME to always write about and It could be uninteresting for people who listen to my music to delve into, and that imaginary characters are more attractive to me as a writer.'

White acknowledged Swift's 'tremendous' success and added, 'Because I say I have a way of doing things doesn’t mean that I think that EVERYONE should do it the same way. They should do what works for them, and they do, and it is obviously appealing to many people, and I’m glad to hear that.'

The Seven Nation Army hitmaker previously said in the viral interview, 'I think it’s a little bit boring for me to write about myself. 

'Even if I’ve had a really interesting day, I feel like I’ve already lived that, I don’t need to go through it every time I sing this song.'
