Each of this year's inductees have of course had a massive impact on music, from penning defining hits for Beyoncé and Rihanna like Stewart, literally setting the soundtrack of the 80's like Loggins, decades of Rock classics coming from the pen of Simmons and Stanley, to Taylor who has set new standards for Pop music success all while keeping her songwriting at the forefront.
The 2026 class of inductees will join the Songwriters Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York on June 11.
