Taylor Swift made history once again after becoming the youngest woman to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Stevie Wonder remains the youngest artist, being inducted at age 32 in 1983, Billboard reported.
Swift eked by with the requirement to apply 20 years after her debut commercial single — Swift’s “Tim McGraw” debuted in 2006, exactly 20 years ago.
CBS News made the announcement that Swift would be joining the likes of Alanis Morissette, Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley, and Kenny Loggins to receive the honor for songwriting capabilities.
Prospective inductees must select five songs for consideration for the the honor, and Swift chose the following songs, according to USA Today:
- “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)”
- “Blank Space”
- “Anti-Hero”
- “Love Story”
- “The Last Great American Dynasty”
Swift will be in attendance when the induction ceremony takes place with a June 11 gala in New York City this year.
In 2010, Swift was awarded the organization’s Hal David Starlight Award, which is an honor given to young songwriters. She will be the first person to have earned both that award and a full membership in the elite club, as previously reported by Deseret News.
