[blankspace-sydney]

Taylor Swift gets emotional while thanking her parents and brother during her speech for her induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City on 11th June 2026 (via Variety)

[blankspace-sydney]

thanK you aIMee had people scandalized because of "and you kid comes home singing..." at the height of Kendrick/Drake. In general the lyrics people react to when it comes to Taylor are so mild.

i remember 😭

[midnightssea]

real. people were genuinely acting scandalized because taylor said “you’re mean and you do coke” about the artist who created a hit album explicitly about being mean and doing coke

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

"May I just take this moment to express my deep appreciation to all the songwriters in the room for their individual achievements and congratulate all of the inductees here tonight? As a director, I am acutely aware of the power that music can have on audiences, and as much as I believe that the stories we tell as filmmakers have the potential to entertain and engage, there is something undeniable about how songs imprint on our souls. They leave a mark, and they provide a map. They provide a map to those moments in our lives that allow us, allow all of us to remember ourselves. And now, more than ever, what you do matters to people. Music will always be a uniting force, whether it’s sung in our cars at the top of our lungs, or at houses of worship, or at football games, or on the streets of Minnesota.

I am honored to be here tonight to introduce the youngest female ever to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a woman who has no peer when it comes to shattering records as a writer, singer, and storyteller, a singular artist, and a genuine phenomenon whose place in our culture rivals that of the composers of the American Songbook, Lennon and McCartney of the 60s, and the singer-songwriters of the 1970s, like Carole King and Stevie let’s go (K)Nicks, and your namesake, James Taylor. Her iconic success is fueled by her innate gifts, and the unwavering support of her family. Her fearless determination to stand up for all artists’ rights is a reflection of her deep understanding of how best to use the meteoric fame that she has been navigating since she was just a teenager. And tonight, she is making history, and we get to witness yet another milestone, as Taylor Swift continues to fulfill her destiny as the most successful female artist of not just our time, but of all time.

What makes this evening so special is that this introduction is a reflection of how her peers in the music industry view her remarkable gifts as a songwriter, but also her dedication to collaboration, and her respect for her producers, cowriters, and other songwriters who have influenced her since she first picked up a 12-string guitar. Of course, most people start with six strings, isn’t that right? But to no one’s surprise, you were an overachiever at the age of 12. Everybody knows that. So, when I was first called, and Taylor first talked to me about coming here tonight, I admit I was flattered, and I was completely honored to accept, but about five minutes after I hung up, my elation faded slightly, because I mean, what could I possibly say about Taylor that has already been said? Just thinking about how much true, false, and plain crazy stuff has been written about you boggle the mind. So, just out of curiosity, I asked AI if it could tell me how many words have been written about Taylor Swift. And you know what? It couldn’t tell me. And I asked it how many words have been written by Taylor Swift, and it couldn’t tell me that either. And I just thought, ‘Wow, she is such a force that the depth of her achievements defy AI.’ And I should have known that something that starts with ‘artificial’ wouldn’t have a clue, because no algorithm can replace the soul of a true original who defies the status quo and easily refuses to be categorized.

Taylor is a beacon for those who refuse to let others define their narrative—someone who embraces artistic risk, and trusts us with her memories, grudges, thoughts, secrets, fears, and dreams. Through her songs, she has taken billions of people by the hand and by the heart, and reaches across the footlights to them with a message that is rooted in community, and infused with hope and relatability. Through her songs, she makes her believe we are in this together, and together, we can grow up, live, love, make mistakes, succeed, fail, and yet, continue to believe in our own self-worth. Her connection with her billions of fans is so impermeable, inspirational, and encompassing that it literally offers all of us a way to define true connection in a world that is clearly struggling with so many overwhelming challenges. Somehow, Taylor knows us all too well. I love making movies, I love making movies, but I don’t think I would ever fill stadiums of multigenerational fans who want to recite the dialogue from Indiana Jones. That’s just not going to happen. But when Taylor steps onto the stage, her words are sung back to her by a devoted audience that does not want to be anywhere else in the world in that moment. So tonight is a recognition that while she wrote You Belong With Me, in the most profound way, we belong to her. So thank you, Taylor, for the gift of your stories, and for insisting on being an authentic voice in a world where the line between real and fake is increasingly blurred. You are our mirror(ball), and tonight, to again steal from a great, great songwriter, Taylor, I just want you to know that this is me trying to tell everyone that in my book, you are evermore. So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Songwriters Hall of Fame class of 2026 inductee, Taylor Swift."

the speech made me realize that taylor is like offended and disgusted that opalite was twisted into All That and not dignifying it with attention was the only way she felt like she could respond

[blankspace-sydney]

taylor putting out music tha she likes and feels good and true to her knowing that it’ll be ripped apart and purposely misunderstood because she knows that it will make an equal amount of people feel seen. literally just love that girl

[blankspace-sydney]

Steven's intro is great. His mention of artists rights as well. https://x.com/THR/status/2065306214486175963?s=20

i think it’s late enough for me to say that i had a run in with steven a few months ago and we didn’t chat directly but i stood with him for quite a while and he is so gracious. just exactly what you would want him to be
