"Taylor Swift is perhaps the most recognizable female singer-songwriter of her generation and possesses a unique talent," reads the Hall of Fame's statement on the 14-time Grammy winner. "Swift's ability to transform herself as a songwriter" is "part of her superpower as a songwriter".
Swift and a total of eight other artists will be officially inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at a gala in New York in June. The pop singer has been writing her own songs since she was a teenager and regularly sets chart records with her albums.
