The 2021 National Music Publishers’ Association honored
Taylor Swift with the Songwriter Icon Award on Wednesday, and she took the moment to thank those who helped her along the way.
“I want to take a moment to thank the people who were my professors, my teachers, of the craft of songwriting,” said Swift, 31, who appeared virtually, according to
Billboard. “First of all, anyone who wrote with me in Nashville when I was in like eighth or ninth grade, that is insane that you did that. I am so lucky that I got to learn from some of the best writers on Music Row.”
