The event honored Kris Kristofferson as a BMI Icon; named Bobby Pinson Songwriter of the Year, and Sony/ATV Music Publishing Publisher of the Year; and saluted Brooks & Dunn with the BMI President’s Award.
Love Story, composed exclusively by Swift, was the first single from her sophomore album Fearless.

S. history.
