US EditionTaylor Swift makes history as youngest Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee
- On Wednesday, CBS Mornings exclusively revealed the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame roster, including Taylor Swift, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Alanis Morissette, Christopher 'Tricky' Stewart, Kenny Loggins, and others, with the induction gala set for June 11 in New York City.
- Because SHOF requires 20 years after a first release, Taylor Swift became eligible this year under the first commercial release rule and is the youngest woman ever elected at 36.
- 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.
