To be fair, it would be rude to give the first one to someone else.

Yes, Taylor Swift is to be honoured with her very own award at the 64th BMI Pop Awards next month which is in "recognition of her incomparable creative and artistic talent and influence on music lovers throughout the world" according to a release from BMI.

"Taylor Swift has transformed pop culture through her songs, artistry and indomitable spirit," said BMI Vice President of Writer/Publisher Relations Barbara Cane. "She has had a profound impact, not only musically, but also through her personal conviction and commitment to create a standard that values and respects music for everyone. We felt it appropriate to award Taylor with an honor that is as unique and special as she is."

So there you have it, Taylor Swift is getting an award for "just being you". Just goes to show you that being yourself pays off (if you're an extremely rich and successful industry unto yourself and an awards show really wants you to come).
