The 36-year-old US singer says she is grateful to be honoured after the organisation announced she will be admitted in the contemporary songwriter/artist category. Lyle Lovett will be inducted in the veteran songwriter/artist division, Shawn Camp and Lee Thomas Miller will enter in the contemporary songwriter section, and Bruce Channel joins as a veteran songwriter. Swift said in a statement: "From the time I started writing songs as a child, I fixated on Nashville as the perfect place to be. Where the writers show up to work every day even when the mysterious muses and the magic don't. "To be honoured by this city I love so much is a beautiful thing, and I'm very grateful."
