Taylor Swift just made history as the youngest woman and second-youngest person ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, honored by Steven Spielberg at a star-studded NYC ceremony. Despite a raspy voice, she delivered a heartfelt 20-minute speech celebrating songwriting as her truest passion, thanking her parents for supporting her dream to move to Nashville, and offering sage advice to aspiring writers: preparation and hard work are key. This year’s class also included Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins, and KISS members, with Nile Rodgers praising songwriters as the heartbeat of music. Meanwhile, Swift is also promoting Toy Story 5, where she penned an original song — and even surprised fans with a live duet with Randy Newman at the premiere.

Carly Simon is back with her first all-new album in 16 years, Comes in Waves, dropping August 14 — and it’s a deeply personal project recorded right at her Martha’s Vineyard home. Her son Ben Taylor and daughter Sally Taylor are key collaborators, lending vocals, production, and even designing the artwork for the lead single “Howl.” After a long hiatus since 2008’s chart-topping This Kind of Love, fans are buzzing for fresh original material — especially as Carly’s last live show was in 2018, and touring remains a challenge post-hip injury. This is more than just a comeback — it’s a homegrown, heartfelt return to form.
