At 36, Swift is now the youngest woman to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The "I Knew It, I Knew You" singer was introduced at Thursday's gala by director Steven Spielberg, whom she called one of her "idols."

"When I say that songwriting is the easiest part for me, I think what I mean is that it was instinctual. No one taught me how to do it," Swift said in her acceptance speech.

"Songwriting, for me, is pretty much the only thing I ever just naturally did," she added.

Swift was previously the youngest winner of the Songwriters Hall of Fame's Hal David Starlight Award, which recognizes "gifted songwriters who are at an apex in their careers and are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs."

Swift won the Hal David Starlight Award in 2010. Other past recipients include John Legend, John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Benny Blanco, Ed Sheeran, SZA and Raye, the 2026 recipient.

Kelce and Swift were photographed at Thursday's Hall of Fame event alongside Swift's parents Andrea and Scott Swift, as well as Kelce's mom Donna Kelce.

Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, attended his team's three-day mandatory minicamp this week, which concluded Thursday.
