The Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted Taylor Swift into its exclusive club, the group said Wednesday, making the world famous pop star its youngest honoree at 36.
The Class of 2026 also included Walter Afanasieff, Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS, Kenny Loggins, Alanis Morissette and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart.
To be eligible for the hall, a songwriter’s first commercially released composition has to be at least 20 years old. Swift’s “Tim McGraw” first hit radio stations in June 2006.
She selected “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” “Blank Space,” “Anti-Hero,” “Love Story,” and “The Last Great American Dynasty” for her successful submission.
The induction ceremony is set for June 11 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
