I like to be viewed as a strong woman and I think that's what Billboard is basically saying.
00:06
Every year, Women in Music honors some of the best to ever do it. And none more important than
00:12
our Woman of the Year. Today, we're discussing a few of them, including the youngest to ever win.
00:18
The girl power has never been stronger.
00:26
I was also a bit surprised because I thought my year was over.
00:30
2012 was the year Katy Perry wrapped up her California Dream Tour,
00:34
earned her 7th number one song on the Hot 100, and took home Billboard's Woman of the Year.
00:40
I don't really like to call myself a role model for my fans, but I hope that I am an inspiration
00:47
for them, especially young women.
00:50
In 2015, Lady Gaga ventured into jazz, acting, and became Billboard's Woman of the Year.
00:57
What I really want to say is that it is really hard sometimes for women in music.
01:06
It's like a b****** boys club that we just can't get into.
01:11
Giving an inspiring speech with a bit of humor.
01:14
Sorry, Grandma.
01:18

01:21
I might not be a lot of things, but I can write songs and I can sing.
01:25
Four years later, Billie Eilish took home the honor the same year she released her debut album.
01:30
It's really weird to be Woman of the Year at 17.
01:33
Billie became the youngest artist to be named Woman of the Year.
01:37
Women who in the past have done what they weren't supposed to do
01:40
has made my life a lot easier and made me able to do what I want and be what I want.
01:48
What will happen this year when we honor Carole G?
01:51
