00:00
Thank you Billboard for this honor.
00:03
I'm very humbled, thank you.
00:05
Every year, women in music honor some of the best
00:08
to ever do it, and none more important
00:10
than our woman of the year.
00:11
Today we're discussing a few of them,
00:14
even one who has had it multiple times.
00:16
Let's hear it for the girls.
00:19
♪ Who run the world ♪
00:20
♪ Girls, girls ♪
00:21
♪ Who run the world ♪
00:22
♪ Girls ♪
00:23
My niche is empowering other women.
00:27
They look up to you for more than just your music.
00:30
The year was 2009, and the woman of the year was Beyonce.
00:35
The superstar stunned at the Pierre Hotel in New York,
00:38
and at the time, she couldn't believe the year
00:40
she was having, and was as humble as ever.
00:43
I can't believe all of the things
00:46
I've been blessed to do this year,
00:49
and I know it would not be possible without my family.
00:53
Madonna is one of our most legendary honorees.
00:55
She grabbed the award in 2016,
00:58
and gave one of the event's most talked about speeches.
01:01
People say that I'm so controversial,
01:04
but I think the most controversial thing
01:05
I have ever done is to stick around.
01:08
(audience cheering)
01:11
Taylor Swift.
01:12
Though the world is currently in their Taylor Swift era,
01:15
we honored her as our woman of the year
01:17
in both 2011 and 2014, but that's not it.
01:21
In 2019, she became our woman of the decade.
01:25
What does it mean to be the woman of this decade?
01:29
Somewhere right now, your future woman of the year
01:32
is probably sitting in a piano lesson,
01:34
or in a girls' choir, and today, right now,
01:37
we need to take care of her.
01:39
What will happen this year when we honor Carol G?
01:41
Tune in to Women in Music March 7th
01:43
at 5 p.m. Pacific time on BillboardWomenInMusic.com.
