Taylor Swift praises Sombr after his Songwriters Hall of Fame performance

Taylor Swift Sombr Songwriters Hall of Fame Cardigan Dear John

Sombr performed Taylor Swift’s songs “Cardigan” and “Dear John” at the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 55th Annual Induction and Awards Gala on June 11, 2026 in New York City. He said he tried not to look at Swift for more than a few seconds, fearing his mind would blank, and Swift later complimented him, declaring “Sombr is the future.”

Sombr explained that the gig came after Swift praised him in an interview; he sent her a thank‑you note, and she replied with a letter and a necklace. He also expressed admiration for Swift’s husband, Travis Kelce. Upcoming plans include a European festival run beginning August 11, followed by North‑American dates in September.
