It marks the second time Carole has been inducted, having jointly received the honour in 1990 with her long-time songwriting party Gerry Goffin.

Swift said of King's massive Tapestry album: "It was a watershed moment for humans in the world with feelings and for cats who have big dreams of one day ending up on iconic album covers."

Tina Turner was another two-time inductee, having previously entered in the Class of 1991 alongside her former partner Ike.

She was inducted by Angela Bassett, who played the singer in 1993 biopic What's Love Got To Do With It.

Angela hailed the induction as part of Tina's "journey to independence" and added: "For Tina, hope triumphed over hate. Faith won over fear. And ambition eclipsed adversity."

A number of artists paid tribute to Tina by covering her songs, with Christina Aguilera performing 'River Deep, Mountain High'. H.E.R. and Keith Urban playing 'It's Only Love' and Mickey Guyon singing ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It'.
