Taylor Swift Inducted Into Songwriters Hall of Fame

Taylor Swift has been elected into the Songwriters Hall of Fame as part of its Class of 2026.

With her induction, the 36-year-old Swift becomes the second-youngest honoree in the Hall’s history, behind only Stevie Wonder, who was enshrined in 1983 at age 32. Swift became eligible this year, 20 years after her first commercial release (her debut single, “Tim McGraw,” arrived in June 2006)

Along with Swift, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 2026 class includes Alanis Morissette, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS, Kenny Loggins, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, and Walter Afanasieff.

The induction ceremony will be held in June in New York.
