Taylor Swift is revisiting her roots.

For her history-making induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame at the organization’s 56th anniversary gala on Monday evening, the superstar wore a burgundy velvet Raisa Vanessa dress featuring a very autumn-appropriate floral print.

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

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

At age 36, Swift is the youngest artist ever 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 time I started writing songs as a child, I fixated on Nashville as the perfect place to be. I wanted to learn with and from the best and get to immerse myself in a community of storytellers, and thankfully, Nashville turned out to be exactly what I’d dreamed of,” Swift shared in a statement at the time of her nomination.

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

While Swift’s become synonymous with pop music over the course of her career, she’s been dipping a toe back into country recently.

Her original song for “Toy Story 5,” “I Knew It, I Knew You,” reached No. 1 on the US country radio chart in September — becoming her first tune to top the list in 13 years.
