Taylor Swift took home her namesake award on the BMI Pop Awards on Tuesday night.

“She has received a profound impact, not simply musically, and also through her personal conviction and resolve for create a standard that values and respects music for everybody. We felt it appropriate to award Taylor having an honour that may be as unique and special as the girl with.”

Taylor, who’s previously scooped countless BMI Awards previously, added another gong to her collection too, after she was named Pop Songwriter with the Year, as a result of penning four on the year’s most performed hits – Bad Blood, Blank Space, Style and Wildest Dreams.

The ceremony, hosted by Cane and BMI’s President and CEO Mike O’Neill, recognised the writers and publishers on the most-performed pop hits within the last few year.
