Warner Chappell Music Nashville has renewed its global publishing deal with Grammy-winning songwriter Liz Rose.
Rose made history in 2019 as one of the first two songwriters appointed to the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) board of directors and was later inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2023. She has penned hits for Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Bonnie Raitt, Megan Moroney, Dan + Shay and Parker McCollum.
The renewed agreement also reinforces a pact with Liz Rose Music, Rose’s independent publishing company. Founded in 2010 alongside her son, Scott Ponce, the firm’s roster of songwriters, producers and artists includes Eric Paslay, Adam Sanders and Cassidy Daniels.
Liz Rose said: “I’m really happy to continue my partnership with the Warner Chappell team. We’ve built something special together over the years, and I’m grateful for the trust, support, and shared commitment to great songs. I’m excited to see what this next chapter brings.”
Austen Adams, president, WCM Nashville, added: "Without a doubt, Liz is one of the most influential songwriters of our time, with an impressive catalogue of music whose impact transcends generations. We’re proud to continue our longstanding relationship and remain committed to supporting her vision as both a songwriter and a leader. Together with Scott, they've built an incredibly talented roster of creators at Liz Rose Music, and we're honored to be a part of their next chapter."

Rose was a pivotal collaborator for Taylor Swift early in her career, co-writing 16 global hits, including All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version), You Belong With Me and Teardrops On My Guitar, among many others. She has also crafted songs for major artists such as Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Chris Young and Eli Young Band.
An ACM, CMA and SESAC Songwriter Of The Year recipient, Rose has a string of US No.1 country hits including Burn It Down (Parker McCollum), Girl Crush (Little Big Town) and It All Comes Out In The Wash (Miranda Lambert) – the latter earning her a Grammy nod for Best Country Song in 2020.
Last year, Rose was honoured with a star on the Music City Walk of the Fame. She continues to support the songwriting community as a board member of CMA and NSAI.
