Taylor Swift Makes History with Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction

On Thursday, Taylor Swift made history by becoming the youngest woman to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

For the history-making moment, the 36-year-old opted for a floral Givenchy dress with a thigh-high slit.

Taylor completed her look with a low bun and Mindi Mond earrings.

Stephen Spielberg introduced Taylor at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, which is held at Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.

Taylor's fiancé Travis Kelce was by her side for the special night and they shared a kiss as she was called up to the stage.

When the singer took the mic, she gave an emotional 21-minute speech!

Taylor shared of her songwriting, “If I look back at my entire 23-year career in music, the ups and downs, the industry battles, the trials and tribulations, the tears and the cheers and the dogpiling of doubt, the criticisms, both fair and unfair, the complete loss of privacy, the world tours and the ego wars and the twists of fate, the absolute magical chaos of this path that I chose… songwriting was the easiest thing I ever did… It was instinctual. No one taught me how to do it. I had to be taught how to entertain a crowd and and learn choreography and and be less annoying and navigate the industry and fiercely protect my own sanity. I had to learn all of that over time through difficult lessons and and massive amounts of trial and error and chaos and calamity. But songwriting for me was pretty much the only thing I ever just naturally did."

She was in tears as she thanked her parents Scott and Andrea Swift and brother Austin for their sacrifices, saying, "It was easy to songwriting over everything else in my life, but it couldn't have been easy for my parents and my brother to just pick up and move our entire family from Pennsylvania to relocate to Nashville so that I could hone my craft in the songwriting capital of the world."

Swift went on, "After it became obvious that this was not even remotely a temporary phase their tween daughter was going through, they uprooted their entire lives to move me to Music City. And even though words are supposed to kind of be my thing, I will never be able to express my gratitude to you guys for doing that for me. You're the reason I'm here today."

Taylor also thanked her fans, sharing, “Nothing delights and surprises me more than the fact that 20 years after my first song came out, they still want to read the next chapter. Nothing makes me happier than when someone tells me that they used to listen to my music with their parent and now decades later they listen to it with their own child or that they listen to it with their best friend or when a couple tells me that ‘Love Story’ is their song or somebody does a cute little dance to ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ or I hear people in different countries singing ‘Opalite’… I'm humbled by the ways that fans have immortalized my songs in their own individual ways, allowing them to be the underscore of some of their real life expeditions on this earth, the magnificent moments as important to me as the seemingly mundane.”

Swift is the world’s biggest pop star and has written or co-written more than 250 songs, including the hits “Love Story,” “Shake It Off,” “I Knew You Were Trouble,” and “Bad Blood.”

At another point in the evening, Taylor was spotted dancing with Travis in the crowd. Watch the video!

The couple got their groove on as Johnny Mercer Award recipient John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival performed "Proud Mary" with his sons Shane and Tyler.

As for Taylor's career, her songs have spanned two decades and have reportedly netted her at least $2 billion.

“Extra” recently spoke to Variety’s senior writer and chief music critic Chris Willman about her induction.

He said, “A lot of the greats have it happen for them in their early 40s, like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, so she’s beaten them by about seven or eight years.”

To be considered for this year’s induction, Swift submitted her songs “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” “Blank Space,” “Anti-Hero,” “Love Story,” and “The Last Great American Dynasty.”

“Extra” was first with a 16-year-old Taylor in 2006 as she signed off autographs and we’ve been on her songwriting journey since then!
