The Canadian star also touched on how big of an honor it was that she had been inducted as a woman, alongside prolific songwriter Hillary Lindsey, given that it had been a few years since that had happened.

"It's been a while since a woman has been inducted into this," she wrote. "So it's pretty awesome to see not just me but Hillary Lindsey included too."

She grew emotional as she recalled the process of bringing her story to life, writing: "Filming a documentary about myself was pretty surreal and even more so during a pandemic!

"We started this whole thing in 2020 and did a lot of interviews and prep stuff over zoom, while trying to film as much as we could during the moments when the world opened up a little more and people were able to travel."
