纽约——泰勒·斯威夫特于周四晚间成为入选创作人名人堂的最年轻女性，时年36岁。
“这是本能，没人教过我如何创作，”她在谈及词曲创作时说道，声音略带沙哑，她将此归因于当晚演出时的齐声高歌，以及周三晚间纽约尼克斯对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队的历史性NBA赛事。
她向在场观众讲述了童年时期家人举家将她从宾夕法尼亚州迁至纳什维尔的经历。
“我永远无法表达我的感激之情，”这位创作歌手强忍泪水说道，并将自己的职业生涯归功于家人的牺牲。
她向年轻创作者给出建议：“你必须发自内心地优先追随自己所爱，因为你需要这份热爱。”
史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格带来了一段惊喜致辞，介绍了斯威夫特，谈及歌曲创作的力量。“歌曲在我们灵魂中留下烙印的力量无可否认，”他说道，随后将话题转向斯威夫特，“不知为何，泰勒比任何人都懂我们。”
斯威夫特的致辞首先感谢了斯皮尔伯格：“正是因为有史蒂文这样的榜样，我才信任自己的想象力。”
Z世代歌手Sombr在斯威夫特的环节开场，在她面前演唱了《Cardigan》和《Dear John》。
斯威夫特让今年的颁奖仪式受到了更多关注，她的词曲创作无疑塑造了当代流行音乐的潮流。舞台上宣布，斯威夫特是入选该名人堂最年轻的女性，但13岁就开启录音生涯的史提夫·汪达才是史上最年轻的入选者。
这一晚亮点纷呈，这一时刻尤为引人注目：斯威夫特、Kiss乐队的吉恩·西蒙斯与保罗·斯坦利、克里斯托弗“特里克”·斯图尔特、艾拉妮丝·莫莉塞特、肯尼·洛金斯等人均获此殊荣。
当晚其他受表彰者
塔玛尔·布拉克斯顿在纽约市万豪侯爵酒店举办的颁奖晚宴上开场，向新晋入选者、具有革新意义的R&B词曲作者、制作人兼说唱歌手克里斯托弗“特里克”·斯图尔特献上充满活力的致敬表演，演唱了他的代表作之一——碧昂丝的《Single Ladies》。
他还创作了蕾哈娜的《Umbrella》、玛丽亚·凯莉的《Touch My Body》以及贾斯汀·比伯的《Baby》。
以与Boyz II Men和麦当娜合作而闻名的词曲作者兼制作人达拉斯·奥斯汀介绍了斯图尔特。“想想他的作品目录，”他列举了这些引领时代的热门单曲，“这些都是文化标志性时刻。”
斯图尔特感谢了上帝、家人、合作过的艺人以及导师，特别提到了格莱美获奖音乐制作人安东尼奥“L.A.”里德和传奇创作歌手娃娃脸。“我曾渴望成为L.A.和娃娃脸那样的人，”他感慨道。
Kiss乐队创始人西蒙斯与斯坦利在乐队告别巡演两年半后，也因他们的华丽摇滚经典作品《Rock and Roll All Nite》和《I Love It Loud》入选。碎南瓜乐队的比利·科根翻唱了前者，为这支乐队带来了恰到好处的热烈开场，随后与 goo goo dolls 主唱约翰·热日尼克共同演绎了后者。
西蒙斯并未到场；斯坦利表示他因家庭紧急事务无法出席。
“歌曲是信使，”他说道，是“每一场演出”的根基。
软摇滚传奇人物肯尼·洛金斯（《Footloose》《Danny’s Song》）和另类摇滚偶像艾拉妮丝·莫莉塞特也入选了名人堂。
在介绍莫莉塞特时，布兰迪·卡莉与SistaStrings共同表演了《Uninvited》。
“对我而言，创作不是爱好，”莫莉塞特说道，而是不可或缺的事，“要么创作，要么消亡。”随后她演唱了1995年专辑《Jagged Little Pill》中的《Mary Jane》和《You Oughta Know》。
在洛金斯的环节，加文·德格罗演唱了《Danny’s Song》，随后洛金斯在获奖感言中讲述了这首歌曲背后的故事。

New York — Taylor Swift became the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday night. She’s 36.
“It was instinctual. No one taught me how to do it,” she said of songwriting through a raspy voice she attributed to screaming along to the night’s performances and Wednesday night’s historic NBA game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
She told the room about her family uprooting their lives to move her from Pennsylvania to Nashville as a tween.
“I will never be able to express my gratitude,” the singer-songwriter said while holding back tears – crediting their sacrifice for her career.
She offered young songwriters advice: “You really have to prioritize what you love, down to your very core. Because you’ll need that.”

Steven Spielberg introduced Swift with a surprise speech about the power of songwriting. “There is something undeniable about how songs imprint on our souls,” he said, before changing his focus to Swift. “Somehow Taylor knows us all too well.”
Swift started her speech by acknowledging Spielberg. “Because of examples like Steven’s, I trusted my imagination,” she said.
The Gen Z singer Sombr launched Swift’s segment by performing “Cardigan” and “Dear John” in front of her.
Swift has brought new eyes to this year’s ceremony and undeniably shaped contemporary pop music trends with her songwriting. Swift is the youngest woman inducted, but Stevie Wonder, who started his recording career at 13, was the youngest ever inducted, it was announced on stage.
It was a notable moment in an evening full of them: Swift, Kiss’ Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins and more were honored.
Numerous others in the night’s spotlight
Tamar Braxton opened the gala at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City with a spirted tribute to a new inductee – the game-changing R&B songwriter, producer and rapper Christopher “Tricky” Stewart – with one of the biggest songs he’s known for: Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.”
He’s also responsible for singer-songwriter Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body” and Justin Bieber’s “Baby.”
Dallas Austin, a songwriter and producer known for work with Boyz ll Men and Madonna, introduced Stewart. “Think about that catalog,” he said, listing off those zeitgeist-shifting records. “Those are cultural moments.”
Stewart thanked God, his family, artists he’s worked with and mentors – giving a special shout out to Grammy award-winning music producer Antonio “L.A.” Reid and the iconic singer-songwriter Babyface. “I wanted to be like L.A. and Baby,” he reflected.
Kiss founders Simmons and Stanley – two and a half years after the band’s farewell – were also recognized for their glam rock classics “Rock and Roll All Nite” and “I Love It Loud.” The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan covered the former, a fittingly fiery introduction for the band. He was joined by Goo Goo Dolls’ frontman John Rzeznik for the latter.
Simmons wasn’t present; Stanley said that he had a family emergency.
“Songs are the messenger,” he said – the foundation of “every show.”
Soft rock legend Kenny Loggins (“Footloose,” “Danny’s Song”) and the alt-rock icon Morissette were also inducted.
For the latter, Brandi Carlile performed “Uninvited” alongside SistaStrings, before introducing Morissette.
“Writing to me is not a hobby,” Morissette said, it’s critical. “It’s write or die.” Then she performed “Mary Jane” and “You Oughta Know” from her 1995 album “Jagged Little Pill.”
For Loggins, Gavin DeGraw performed “Danny’s Song,” before Loggins told the story behind the tune in his acceptance speech.
Taylor Dayne and Madison Cunningham performed Tina Turner classics written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle in honor of their induction; John Fogerty was honored with the Johnny Mercer Award.
“I got my songs back!” Fogerty said, ending a nearly 30-minute speech, referencing the fact that he won the rights back to his catalog at age 80. Then he ran through a medley of his hits: “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” among them.
The songwriter Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”) was also recognized, a segment that began with an introduction by actor Jeremy Renner and included a monster medley of his biggest songs by R&B singer Sheléa, kicking off with his Christmas classic six months early.
“I wanted to be The Beatles,” he said of falling in love with songwriting in his speech. “Sixty years later, I got to produce Paul McCartney.”
British singer-songwriter RAYE received the prestigious Hal David Starlight Award. She ended her speech by stating that songwriters deserve a cut of master royalties.
Last year’s inductees included George Clinton, The Doobie Brothers, Ashley Gorley, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, The Beach Boys’ Mike Love and Tony Macaulay.
The Songwriters Hall of Fame was established in 1969 to honor those creating popular music. A songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for induction 20 years after the first commercial release of a song.
Some already in the hall include Gloria Estefan, Carole King, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Brian Wilson, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Lionel Richie, Bill Withers, Neil Diamond and Phil Collins.
