“The Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame Contemporary Icon Award. This has to be my favorite award I’ve ever gotten,” the 29-year-old entertainer shared on her Instagram. “I still remember dragging my keyboard up the stair of my walk up to play songwriter showcases and apply to be in songwriting forums where I could play my music for other artists and we’d critique each other. I was 15 then. I’m 29 now. In my head this is how I planned it, following all the roads I thought were right. But i’m not sure I thought about what I’d do if I never made it. Cuz I’d forever be trying.”
