Do I even have to name them? Ryan Tedder and Dan Reynolds, naturally. Ryan's at the top of the food chain when it comes to songwriting for other artists, and Dan writes everything for the Dragons himself like journal entries (supposedly) so they're both influential, in different ways.
Country music tells a witty story sometimes... I have enough sense to ignore the faces and name a few of the guys behind the lyrics: Thomas Rhett, Hillary Lindsey, Ashley Gorely...
I would say Taylor Swift too, but I never know how much of hers is influenced by Jack Antonoff or Max Martin or those others she works with.
