Hello. Since I've seen people submit finished wheels, I thought I'd submit a wheel I came up with. In this case, it's a wheel to tell you something that you can't do for a week.
The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced the 2026 nominees in two contemporary categories, including Taylor Swift and Miranda La
One month after being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Taylor Swift is nominated for induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift is vying for induction in the contemporary songwriter/artists category with Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton and Phil Vassar. One inductee will be chosen in this category.
The Nashville SHOF also announced eight nominees in the contemporary songwriters category. Two inductees will be chosen in that category. The honorees will be elected by Hall of Fame members and other professional songwriters and artists.
The entire slate of inductees elected in these and three other categories will be announced in the coming weeks and officially inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame later this year.
“Well-deserved congratulations to all the nominees in our contemporary categories,” NaSHOF executive director Mark Ford said in a statement. “We look forward to announcing those who will be inducted this fall as members of our Class of 2026.”
Since 1970, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame has enshrined 254 “of the greatest writers from all genres of music ever to put words to music in Music City,” as the organization puts it. Operated by the non-profit Nashville Songwriters Foundation, the Hall of Fame is dedicated to honoring Nashville’s rich legacy of songwriting excellence.
As with the Songwriters Hall of Fame, all nominees experienced their first significant songs at least 20 years ago.
Here’s a capsule description for each of the nominees in the two contemporary categories. The information is supplied by Nashville SHOF, supplemented by research into their Grammy histories, if any.
Miranda Lambert: The Texas native is a three-time Grammy winner, though she has yet to win in a songwriting category. (That latter fact will very likely change at the 2027 awards.) Her songwriting credits include her own “Automatic” and “Over You,” as well as “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley. Fun fact: “Choosin’ Texas” has logged 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, longer than any Swift hit to date.
Chris Stapleton: The Kentucky native is a 12-time Grammy winner, including three wins for best country song, for “Broken Halos,” “Cold” and “White Horse.” His other songwriting credits include his own “Starting Over,” as well as “Never Wanted Nothing More” by Kenny Chesney.
Taylor Swift: The Pennsylvania-born, Nashville-raised songwriter is a 14-time Grammy winner, including three wins in songwriting categories: best country song for “White Horse” and “Mean,” and best song written for visual media for “Safe & Sound” from The Hunger Games. Swift’s other credits include her own “I Knew It, I Knew You” and “Love Story,” as well as “Better Man” by Little Big Town. Swift made history at the SHOF ceremony, becoming the youngest woman ever to be inducted and the first past recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award to be inducted.
Phil Vassar: The Virginia native’s songwriting credits include his own “In a Real Love” and “Just Another Day in Paradise,” as well as “Bye, Bye” by Jo Dee Messina.
