Here’s what Taylor Swift said about being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame

“From the time I started writing songs as a child, I fixated on Nashville as the perfect place to be. I wanted to learn with and from the best and get to immerse myself in a community of storytellers, and thankfully Nashville turned out to be exactly what I’d dreamed of. A town that validated and prioritized hard work, determination and imagination. Where the writers show up to work every day even when the mysterious muses and the magic don’t. To be honored by this city I love so much is a beautiful thing, and I’m very grateful,” Taylor said (via Variety).

Also being inducted this year are Lyle Lovett, Shawn Camp, Lee Thomas Miller and Bruce Channel.

This past June, Taylor was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York.
