Taylor Swift to Perform at Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Amid Offseason Wedding Plans

Taylor Swift is slated to perform at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony on June 11, 2026. The private event at New York City’s Broadway Marriott Marquis will feature a cocktail hour, dinner, and a show. Swift, attending with her family, will sing a song from her latest album “The Life of a Showgirl.” The ceremony overlaps with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s mandatory minicamp, prompting speculation about his ability to attend.

Fellow 2026 inductees include Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart.
