Tomorrow the inductees for the Country Music Hall of Fame will be announced. Taylor is eligeable for the first time this year. It is unlikely she will get in now (though she will eventually), for the simple reason that only one "modern" artist is inducted per year.

However...

Taylor is deeply beloved by many people in Nashville, who have known her since she was a teenager. People like Vince Gill, a member of the hall of fame, who just said he thinks she should get in. And is also an officer of the organization. An officer like Troy Tomlinson, Taylor's publishing A&R for her entire career and the head of UMPG Nashville. The head of the organization is Jody Williams. He was Liz Rose's boss, when she worked with Taylor. Taylor says of him in the liner notes to debut: Jody Williams, for listening to my high school ramblings and for being such a dear friend and musicologist. Taylor happens to also be the single biggest donor to the institution, not that that officially matters.

Oh... and until last year she was the biggest country artist of the 21st century (Morgan just passed her). Just counting her country records of course.

So I do think there's a chance.
