The BMI organization, a global leader in music rights
management, celebrated the songwriters and publishers behind the
year's most-performed pop songs at their Pop Awards, and said
Swift’s special award was in recognition of her creative and
artistic talent.
"I'm really super relieved that BMI decided to give me the
Taylor Swift Award. If they decided to give the Taylor Swift
Award to someone else I would be kind of bummed about it," Swift
quipped when accepting the accolade.
It is only the second time in BMI's 76-year history that the
company has presented an award in someone's name. The first was
to Michael Jackson in 1990.
