The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame said Tuesday that Swift will be inducted this fall as its youngest-ever member under the Contemporary Songwriter/Artists category.
The honor follows her June induction into the national Songwriters Hall of Fame, where she also became the youngest woman admitted, underscoring a standout year for her songwriting recognition.
Swift said Nashville had been her dream destination since childhood, praising the city for valuing hard work, determination and imagination in a statement read by executive director Mark Ford.
The class also includes Lyle Lovett, Bruce Channel, Lee Thomas Miller and Shawn Camp, while Swift's return to country radio with "I Knew It, I Knew You" recently set a first-week airplay record for a female artist.
