Olivia started her speech by referencing Alanis‘ Grammy-winning album Jagged Little Pill, which was released in 1995 – eight years before Olivia was born!

“My life was completely changed. Alanis’ songwriting was unlike anything I’d ever heard before and I haven’t heard anything quite like it since,” Olivia said on stage, via Billboard. “And that voice — fierce and tender and sometimes funny and playful. I became hooked for life.”

Olivia continued, “Alanis captured the anger, the grief and the love of the human experience better than anyone. Her songs unite people and empower people and help them heal. Alanis, you’re a trailblazer and you’ve inspired an entire generation of uncompromising, radically honest songwriting. But even more than your long list of musical achievements, I look up to your character and your kindness most of all.”

“If they had a Hall of Fame for being the most incredible human being with the biggest heart, I’m 100 percent positive you’d be inducted into that one as well,” Olivia added.

Also in attendance at the gala was Katharine McPhee and husband David Foster, who was also inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame that night.
