BMI Awards
The Broadcast Music, Incorporated (BMI) Awards is an annual award show hosted for the purpose of giving awards to songwriters. Songwriters are selected each year from the entire BMI catalog, based on the amount of performances during the award period. At the 56th annual BMI awards, "Teardrops on My Guitar", a song co-written by Taylor Swift and Liz Rose, took home the honor, "Country Song of the Year". Beside Teardrops on My Guitar, Tim McGraw and Our Song both earned the honors of "BMI Award Winning Song" in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
