Just look at her involvement into season 7 (and it might be even bigger in season 8).

She's getting already as much screen time as the Main 6. She's with them on the front row, with the whole group in the intro for three sesons by now, and in the new intro this season as well.

She just doesn't feel like a recurring character anymore, and she clearly got to the level of the rest of the group. So, even if it wasn't said officially, she's obviously a part of the Main 7 now (and she balances the group again, because after Twilight became an alicorn the balance of species was gone).

I won't be surprised if by the end of the show she accomplishes something big and gets her own chair around Twilight's Map, and who knows... maybe even become an alicorn (Hasbro can do that easily). But the way she's progressing as a character I'm pretty sure anything she gets accomplished by the end of the season, it will be well deserved.
