Lady Gaga joined the 2027 Songwriters Hall of Fame nominees on 5 November 2026. She appears in the performing songwriter category, alongside nominees from pop, rock, R&B and country.
Lady Gaga enters the 2027 Songwriters Hall of Fame ballot
The official nominee announcement names Stefani Germanotta p/k/a Lady Gaga among candidates for the 2027 Induction & Awards Gala in New York City. It places her in the performing songwriter category rather than the separate songwriter category. The Hall says eligible voting members may choose up to three nominees in each category. Ballots must arrive by midnight EST on 14 December 2026.
The announcement also explains that the Hall recognises songwriters with notable catalogues of songs. That description links the nomination to the writing behind Lady Gaga’s recorded work, not only to her stage performances.
Lady Gaga’s listed songs connect pop songwriting and performance
The Hall’s performing-songwriter list pairs her name with Poker Face, Bad Romance, Born This Way, Shallow and Die With A Smile. It describes those titles as a representative sample of her catalogue, rather than a complete list.
The selection brings songwriting and performance into the same entry, reflecting the category in which she is nominated. Lady Gaga therefore appears on the ballot through the name used in the Hall’s listing and through a set of widely recognised works.
The 2027 class moves towards a December vote
The performing-songwriter field also includes Shakira, Pink, Boy George, Jack White, Sia, Vince Gill and Ne-Yo. Members of Blondie, America, War and ZZ Top are listed there as well. The non-performing category includes writers and producers such as Pete Bellotte, Kandi Burruss, Stargate and Dan Wilson.
The Associated Press account describes the nominees as a broad group spanning pop, hip-hop, Latin, funk and rock. It says the 2027 inductees will be announced in early 2027. Lady Gaga’s nomination is therefore separate from induction, which follows the voting process.
