Kacey Musgraves to Receive Songwriter Icon Award at NMPA Annual Meeting 2025

Kacey Musgraves will receive the Songwriter Icon Award at the NMPA annual meeting. Rhett Akins and Apple Music's Oliver Schusser will also be honored.

Other previous bombshell announcements have included major copyright infringement lawsuits against Roblox, Twitter and more, and legal action against 100 different apps for allegedly skimming music from digital services without a license. This year’s annual meeting will include a special segment dedicated to the Billboard Songwriter Awards, which were scheduled to take place during Grammy week but were postponed due to the Los Angeles wildfires. “Finally, Oliver Schusser has been an innovator throughout his career and we are eager to get his perspective on the myriad of opportunities and challenges for digital services in the streaming economy.”
