Talk about cheapening the requirements..

..to get into a Hall of Fame..this one has to be a joke. Nothing against the girl, but how do you justify putting someone with 4 years experience into a songwriter's Hall of Fame that doesn't even include TOM PETTY...no wonder they don't even have a building..haha

Taylor Swift will receive award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame in June

NEW YORK (AP) -- She's only 20, but Taylor Swift is getting in the hall of fame.

The country starlet will receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards on June 17 in New York City. The announcement was made Tuesday.

Swift, known for penning songs about her puppy love lapses, has written or co-written every song on her two multiplatinum-selling CDs: her 2006 self-titled debut and 2008's "Fearless," which won album of the year at this year's Grammy Awards, among other top honors.

Phil Collins and music producer Phil Ramone also will receive special awards at the event. Other inductees include Leonard Cohen, Jackie DeShannon, David Foster, Johnny Mandel, Philip Bailey, Verdine White, Larry Dunn, Al McKay and Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White.

Are you even kidding me??? It's not April 1 again is it? Hall of Fame should be for a lifetime of achievement, NOT what have you done lately.
