Sorry, but you can't. But there is a possibility that you are struggling with the concept of inspiration. If you are imagining inspiration to be a flash of insight where you 'receive' an award-winning song, complete and perfect, that you just have to jot down on paper, certainly you will never write a song. Someone said that creativity is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Let your mind give your creative juices a kick. Start by writing anything, even if it looks and sounds like nonsense. A crazy thought just came. Start a song based on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but where that song goes up, you go down. Where it goes down, you go up. It's just a first step. Crazy? You bet. Do it.

If it's words you are talking about and not music, then write out the lyrics of a song or poem that anyone has written, including yourself. At least 12 lines. Number them. Figure out a way to select lines randomly (don't cheat!). Put the lines together in this random way, or find a way to randomly combine the lyrics of two completely different songs. It's just a first step. Crazy? You bet. Do it.

How does Taylor Swift see music?

See music? Okay look, she may be very talented but she is NOT a savant. She feels the music much like any other musician does when composing a new song. Her methods are as akin to her uniqueness as is for any artist. She gets lyrical inspiration from breakups but her tonality, she never has mentioned where that inspiration came from. Usually an artist will use many other artists they are inspired by in order to find their own sound.
