American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has officially been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. This milestone not only adds to the already impressive list of achievements of the 36-year-old star, but also makes her the youngest woman in history to receive this honor.

According to international media, the previous record for the youngest female artist belonged to Carole Bayer Sager, who was honored in 1987 at the age of 43. Meanwhile, the legendary Stevie Wonder still holds the record for the youngest person of all time to achieve this "title" at the age of 32 (in 1983).

According to the Bangkok Post, the Songwriters Hall of Fame regulations state that artists are only eligible for consideration after exactly 20 years since the release of their first commercial song. For Taylor Swift, this "passport" was her hit song "Tim McGraw," released in June 2006. This means that as soon as she reached the required age, the "Blank Space" singer was immediately nominated without further delay.
