From amazing performances, moving speeches, VIP fan experiences and more, Billboard Women in Music 2024 was electrifying.
Charli XCX:
Being a woman is so complex and complicated.
Kylie Minogue:
It's ridiculous to say, but I've never been in a room like this — a pure and vibrant celebration of women in music, and I've been here for 37 years.
Rania Aniftos:
Kylie Minogue and more were honored at the Billboard Women in Music presented by Marriott Bonvoy and we have all the details.
On Wednesday night, some of the biggest women in music took to the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles for Billboard's annual affair. The celebration saw a number of powerhouse women grace the stage, starting with the evening's host Tracee Ellis Ross.
Tracee Ellis Ross:
I'm not here tonight for me. I'm here for my hair. No, I'm here tonight to celebrate women, women in music, women in music.
Rania Aniftos:
The biggest award of the night, the coveted Woman of the Year award went to Karol G.
Karol G:
Perhaps it is the most important and significant recognition of my entire career. This is extremely special.
Rania Aniftos:
Andra Day presented Maren Morris with the Visionary Award.
Maren Morris:
I don't consider myself a visionary. I just have visions, I have delusions, so I appreciate that I got a trophy for them.
Rania Aniftos:
And NewJeans brought the house down with their “Super Shy” performance.
And the artists weren't the only ones getting VIP treatment: A group of lucky fans entered the show by bidding on an exclusive experience using Marriott Bonvoy points through the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform. These fans had a front-row view of stars walking the red carpet and enjoyed club-level seats to take in the show. Attendees also got their sweet tooth in this special Marriott Bonvoy candy tunnel before entering the show. The tunnel featured a variety of over 30 Marriott Bonvoy hotel brands with a candy to match each brand's vibe. The 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards were presented by Marriott Bonvoy, more than 30 hotel brands and 10,000 global destinations.
