Two decades after writing her first song, and almost 16 years after releasing her eponymous debut album, Taylor Swift accepted the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade award on Tuesday evening (Sept. 20) at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, during the annual Nashville Songwriter Awards. The honor celebrated Swift’s successes between 2010 and 2019, a time period that saw Swift fully transition from country to pop, amassing hits and fan favorites including the pop-country crossovers “Fearless,” “Mine” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” to the electrifying pop of “Shake It Off,” “Style” and “Blank Space” to more intimate tracks such as “Lover” and “New Year’s Day.”
