Taylor Swift was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday night at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. At 36, she is the youngest woman to receive the honor. She attributed her hoarse voice to cheering at Wednesday night's Knicks game against the San Antonio Spurs and to the performances at the gala itself. "I screamed for 100% of it," she said of the game.
Spielberg introduced Swift, noting the volume of coverage about her and joking that he had asked an AI system how many words had been written about her and by her. The system could not answer, he said. Swift credited her family's move from Pennsylvania to Nashville when she was a child.
"I will never be able to express my gratitude," she said, holding back tears. John Fogerty received the Johnny Mercer Award. Sombr performed Swift's songs "Cardigan" and "Dear John" before her induction. Brandi Carlile performed "Uninvited" for Morissette, and Gavin DeGraw performed "Danny's Song" for Loggins.
Swift arrived at Zero Bond around 1 a.m.
Thursday with Este and Alana Haim. The group left about two hours later. She wore a T-shirt reading "Stevie Knicks." An insider told Page Six that Swift is a dedicated Knicks supporter and wanted to attend games to back the team.
