Taylor Swift has reached a new level of achievement in the music industry.
She will receive an award named for herself at the 64th annual BMI Pop Awards, hosted by BMI President and CEO Mike O’Neill as well as Vice President of Writer/Publisher Relations Barbara Cane.
Swift is the second individual to have a BMI award named for her – her predecessor is the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson whose award began in 1990.
“This evening is a true celebration of music and a tribute to the artistry of songwriting that spans generations as defined by three of the most prolific and influential music creators in the industry: Taylor Swift, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil,” O’Neill stated in a press release.
The BMI Pop Awards will be on May 10 in Beverly Hills, Calfornia.
