- KISS founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will be recognized for glam-rock classics including 'Rock and Roll All Nite' and 'I Love It Loud', their partnership began in 1973.
- Now inducted, Taylor Swift is eligible for the Johnny Mercer Award and could set a youngest-recipient record if she wins within the next 15 years, drawing extra attention to this year's SHOF class.
- Founded in 1969, the Hall annually inducts performers and nonperformers alike, and this year's lineup spans genres including pop, rock, R&B, and soundtrack, honoring creators like Terry Britten and Graham Lyle.
