Taylor Swift inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame
Taylor Swift has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Taylor Swift is poised to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The Fate of Opehlia hitmaker is part of the class of 2026, alongside fellow inductees Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS, Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, and Walter Afanasieff.
The 36-year-old pop megastar is among the youngest artists to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Songwriters with a substantial catalogue can only be nominated 20 years after the release of their first commercial song. Swift's first being June 2006's Tim McGraw.
The Induction and Awards gala is set to take place on June 11.
Swift was previously honoured with the SHOF's Hal David Starlight Award in 2010, and is the first recipient to go on to be inducted.
Meanwhile, the Shake It Off hitmaker previously admitted she feared her writing would "dry up" if she found happiness.
The Grammy winner - who got engaged to American footballer Travis Kelce last year - told BBC Radio 1: "I used to have this dark fear that if I ever were truly happy and free, being myself and nurtured by a relationship, what happens if the writing just dries up?"
Thankfully, she didn't experience writer's block.
Speaking about her most recent record, The Life of a Showgirl, she continued: "What if writing is directly tied to my torment and pain? And it turns out, that's not the case at all, and we just were catching lightning in a bottle with this record.
"But it's nice because you're from a place of happiness and love, you can go back to those places. You can look forward to other things."
