    Taylor Swift, Kiss' Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Alanis Morissette and Kenny Loggins make up the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees. Swift's songwriting has undeniably shaped contemporary pop music trends — and she'll no doubt bring extra attention to this year's new class.

This year, the latter category includes the duo Terry Britten and Graham Lyle (Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It.") It's also not uncommon for performers to gain entry after multiple nominations. Walter Afanasieff, who helped Mariah Carey with her smash "All I Want for Christmas Is You," was previously nominated in the 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame class. He didn't make the cut then, but this year, will be inducted. "The music industry is built upon the incredible talent of songwriters who create unforgettable songs. Without their artistry, there would be no recorded music, concert experiences, or engaged fans. Everything originates from the song and its creator," Songwriters Hall of Fame chairman Nile Rodgers said in a statement. "This... Read More
