Taylor Swift to acquire a prestigious honor by Billboard

Taylor Swift will be receiving a tremendous accolade award at Billboard’s Annual Women in Music Event next month.

On Monday, Billboard announced that they will be bestowing the ‘Woman of the Decade Award’ — at the 2019 Women in Music Event on December 12.

According to a statement, the prestigious honor is in recognition of Swift becoming “one of the most accomplished musical artists of all time over the course of the 2010s.”

“Along with her countless professional achievements — including five No. 1 albums this decade, five No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, three worldwide stadium tours holding the title for the highest selling U.S. tour in history and two Billboard Woman of the Year Awards (the only female artist to have been awarded this honor twice) — Swift has been an active proponent of creative rights, music education, literacy programs, cancer research, disaster relief and the Time’s Up initiative, among several other causes,” the statement continues.

The 14th annual gathering will also honor several other giants of the music world, including Alanis Morissette, Brandi Carlile, Nicki Minaj and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez.

The Woman of the Decade Award isn’t the only honor the 29-year-old singer will soon be receiving.

On Nov. 24, she’ll be honored at the 2019 American Music Awards with the Artist of the Decade Award, where she’ll also be performing a medley of her music.
