Taylor Swift's marriage to the hustle has paid off: The "Life of a Showgirl" singer-songwriter is officially the youngest inductee in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
CBS News' special correspondent Anthony Mason made the milestone announcement Jan. 21 on "CBS Mornings," which formally elects the 36-year-old star to the 2026 class and placing her among the most influential songwriters in music history.
Swift will be in attendance for the June 11 gala in New York City.
Swift's fellow class include Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from KISS, Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Terry Britten and Graham Lyle and Walter Afanasieff.
To be eligible for induction, a songwriter's first commercially released song must be at least 20 years old. Swift's debut single, "Tim McGraw," arrived in June 2006, just clearing the threshold for the 2026 class.
