I'm not talking about "inspired". Inspired is you sit at the piano and create your own work -- which seems more likely the case with Dreams.
These were cases where she completely wrote to someone else's track, which is totally fine, IF you give credit to the other person for their share i.e., writing the music. Otherwise, it's plagiarism.... ask Robin Thicke as well.
Just as Petty went after her that she couldn't use the chord sequences in his track for her song, Lindsey could have done the same for Wild Heart.
She also changed ONE word in Seven Wonders and demanded a share of the credit/royalties.
