Taylor Swift is among the many nominees for the Songwriters Corridor of Fame’s class of 2026.
The 35-year-old Swift turns into eligible in 2026, 20 years after her first industrial launch (her debut single “Tim McGraw” arrived in June 2006). If chosen, Swift could be the second-youngest inductee within the Corridor’s historical past, behind solely Stevie Marvel, who was enshrined in 1983 at age 32.
Swift is a finalist within the performer-songwriter class alongside David Byrne, P!NK, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS, Sarah McLachlan, LL Cool J, The Go Go’s, Boz Scaggs, Kenny Loggins, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings of The Guess Who, Richard Carpenter of The Carpenters, and Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of America.
The non-performing songwriter class consists of pop producers Andreas Carlsson (Backstreet Boys’ “I Need It That Manner” and NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye”) and Steve Kipner (Olivia Newton-John’s “Bodily” and Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In A Bottle”), Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard (“Like A Prayer” and “Stay To Inform”), and Donna Sommer scribe Pete Bellotte ( “Scorching Stuff,” “I Really feel Love,” and “Love To Love You Child”).
