Taylor Swift will be honoured with an induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
The multi-award winner, who began her career as a country music artist, admitted she spent her childhood “fixated” on Nashville, the home of country music, in a statement delivered on her behalf by the Executive Director of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Mark Ford.<\/p>\n
“From the time I started writing songs as a child, I fixated on Nashville as the perfect place to be,” Taylor, 36, said in acknowledgement of the accolade.<\/p>\n
She explained that from a young age, she had yearned to spend time with the city’s performers as she learned her craft.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to learn with and from the best, and get to immerse myself in a community of storytellers. And thankfully, Nashville turned out to be exactly what I dreamed of, a town that validated and prioritised hard work, determination, and imagination, where the writers show up to work every day, even when the mysterious muses and the magic don’t.” <\/p>\n
Taylor added the nomination – which arrived just months after she re-entered the country-music charts with her song I Knew It, I Knew You, from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack – left her feeling deep gratitude.<\/p>\n
“To be honoured by this city I love so much is a beautiful thing,” she said, “and I’m very grateful.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift will be honoured with an induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
