Gracie Abrams is set to receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the 54th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Dinner on June 12 in New York City. This award honors “gifted young songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry with their original songs.” It was established in 2004, and named after acclaimed lyricist Hal David, known for his chart-topping collaborations with Burt Bacharach. The 25-year-old Abrams has garnered Grammy nominations for Best New Artist in 2024 and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2025 for “Us,” which features her good friend, Taylor Swift, who herself received the Starlight Award in 2010. Abram’s 2024 album, The Secret of Us, reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, and produced two Top 20 hits, “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “That’s So True.” The organization’s career-spanning songwriting honor, the Johnny Mercer Award, has yet to be revealed, while the 2025 SHOF inductees include George Clinton, Ashley Gorley, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Mike Love, Tony Macaulay, and members of The Doobie Brothers.
