Taylor Swift will be adding another trophy to her shelf, as the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that the superstar will be inducted into the hall this fall, becoming, at 36, the youngest writer ever to receive the honor.
Swift sent a message to be read by Mark Ford, executive director of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, as he announced this year’s inductees in a livestream.
“From the time I started writing songs as a child, I fixated on Nashville as the perfect place to be,” said Swift in her statement. “I wanted to learn with and from the best and get to immerse myself in a community of storytellers, and thankfully Nashville turned out to be exactly what I’d dreamed of. A town that validated and prioritized hard work, determination and imagination. Where the writers show up to work every day even when the mysterious muses and the magic don’t. To be honored by this city I love so much is a beautiful thing, and I’m very grateful.”
The accolade follows on the heels of Swift having been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York in June, at which point she became the youngest female writer ever to join that hall.
Swift was inducted into the Nashville hall in a category that honors songwriters that have been at it for 20 years or longer, in what, not coincidentally, is the 20th anniversary year for her debut album, “Taylor Swift.”
Also named to the hall as part of Tuesday’s announcement: Lyle Lovett, Shawn Camp, Lee Thomas Miller and Bruce Channel.
“I’m so happy that Taylor Swift finally got a break,” quipped Miller, stepping to the podium at the announcement event to thank the hall. “She needed a win.”
Other nominees this year included Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Phil Vassar, Jim Beavers, Rodney Clawson, Dallas Davidson, Marv Green, Neil Thrasher and Chris Tompkins.
The hall was established in 1970 and had 254 members prior to this announcement. Last year’s inductees were Emmylou Harris, Brad Paisley, Jim Lauderdale, JJ Cale, Steve Bogard, Don Cook and Tony Martin.
The induction ceremony will take place at a yet-to-be-specified date this fall, Ford said.

please tag with your region/country and age (?) if you think that’s relevant! and of course translate these into your native language if not an English speaker
gritting my teeth as "sandy hook was staged" marjorie "jewish space lasers" taylor "christchurch was an inside job" greene "white genocide conspiracy theorist" starts posting things that people largely agree with, and I have to deal with people saying "she makes sense though" as if she didn't spend the last ten years being one of the scummiest fucking people on the goddamn planet
Omg, minutes after I sent you that ask about blocking someone from using your music I saw that they found a way. they are two steps ahead of me! 😂
exactly and this is why it’s the most boring conversation theme for me when fans are like taylor’s team should do this and that like they’ve shown as time and again that they don’t have a knee jerk response to stuff and whatever they do and don’t do is very well curated for the situation at hand
