Taylor Swift wears a Raisa Vanessa velvet dress to the 2026 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala

Taylor Swift revisits her roots.

For her historic induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame at the organization’s 56th anniversary gala Monday night, the superstar wore a burgundy velvet Raisa Vanessa dress with a very fall-appropriate floral print.

She paired the bustier mini with a 65-carat Leviev diamond necklace and matching earrings, as well as purple Jimmy Choo heels finished with delicate crystal ankle straps.

A pink lip and slightly curled half-up hairstyle completed her look.

At 36, Swift is the youngest artist to be inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. She will join the class of 2026 alongside Lyle Lovett, Bruce Channel, Shawn Camp and Lee Thomas Miller.

“From the moment I started writing songs as a kid, I focused on Nashville as the perfect place to be. I wanted to learn with and from the best and immerse myself in a community of storytellers, and fortunately, Nashville turned out to be exactly what I dreamed of,” Swift said in a statement at the time of her nomination.

“A city that valued and prioritized hard work, determination, and imagination. Where writers show up to work every day even when the mysterious muses and magic don’t. To be honored by this city that I love so much is a beautiful thing, and I am very grateful.”

Although Swift has become synonymous with pop music over the course of her career, she has recently delved back into country.

His original song for “Toy Story 5,” “I Knew It, I Knew You,” reached No. 1 on the U.S. country radio chart in September – becoming his first chart-topping song in 13 years.
