Billboard Women In Music 2025 Preshow: Everything You Need to Know About Honorees | Billboard News

Billboard Women in Music 2025 takes place Saturday, March 29, and Billboard’s staff is breaking down each of the honorees’ successes that earned them their awards, from JENNIE receiving the Global Force Award to Doechii being named Woman of the Year, to Gracie Abrams being honored as Songwriter of the Year, and more!

Who are you most excited to see at Women in Music? Let us know in the comments!

Gail Mitchell:
Doechii is our Woman of the Year. 

Lyndsey Havens:
Everybody just wants to be like JENNIE. She embodies a hitmaker. It’s not just one. There’s a lot there. 

Kristin Robinson:
This year’s Women in Music, we have some top-tier honorees.

Melinda Newman:
Gracie Abrams is our Songwriter of the Year.

Kristin Robinson:
One of my favorite things about Gracie Abrams is that her fan base loves her so much, as much as they love her songs. And I think that’s, like, a magical X-factor quality that we don’t see very often.

Melinda Newman:
Gracie Abrams is writing from a point of truth. She’s not afraid to be vulnerable, and it’s made her very popular with her fans because they can relate to everything she’s talking about.

Kristin Robinson:
Gracie Abrams has grown so fast. One prime example of that is that she is headlining Lollapalooza this year.

Melinda Newman:
Gracie has also learned from the best. She spent a lot of time on the road with Taylor Swift, and you can tell she took in a lot of what makes Taylor Swift so special with her fans, but she’s put it through her own lens, and so that’s what makes her so popular these days.

Kristin Robinson:
GloRilla is this year’s Powerhouse. One of my favorite things about GloRilla is how much she reps her hometown of Memphis, Tenn. And everyone back home loves her. They adore her. 

Keep watching for more!
