For the first time, Taylor Swift could be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame

Taylor Swift might soon check off another accomplishment on her "Wi$h Li$t."

At 35, the showgirl has officially been nominated to join the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She joins the 2026 ballot – announced Thursday, Oct. 23 – alongside LL Cool J, David Byrne, Sarah McLachlan, Pink, Kenny Loggins and Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS.

Other nominees include Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine and Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings of the Guess Who, and Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of America.

This is Swift's first nomination.

A songwriter with a catalog of notable music can only qualify for induction 20 years after the first commercial release of a song. Swift's first single, "Tim McGraw," dropped in June 2006, barely making the cutoff for a June 2026 induction ceremony.
