BMI names award after Taylor Swift


Taylor Swift's success seems to be a never ending journey. She has a total of 10 Grammys, 22 Billboard Music Awards and an Emmy. The latest addition to her collection of awards is a BMI Taylor Swift award. 

Yes. Swift has an award named after her and she will be the first recipient of it next month at the BMI Pop Awards. 

According to billboard.com Swift is the second ever singer to have an award named after her since 1990 when Michael Jackson was granted the honour by BMI. But before you roll your eyes and dismiss this as frivilous it's important to note that the BMI Pop Awards, is an award show that recognises songwriters and not just the performers who made the songs famous. According to forbes.com, in total Swift has 37 BMI awards which include Songwriter of the Year, Song of the Year and the President Award.
