• American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo has accepted her Woman of the Year Award at 2022 Billboard Women in Music, March 2, Wednesday.

  The event took place at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California in the United States. It aimed to honor female power players in the music industry.

  Rodrigo has opened the show with her single titled, ‘Deja Vu.’ After the performance, she thanked everyone on her acceptance speech. “So many surreal moments have happened over the course of this incredible past year and this is most definitely one of them, so thank you,” Rodrigo said.

  “It’s not always easy being a young woman in the music industry but I found so much strength from the female songwriters and artists who have come before me and paved the way and opened doors for so many young women like me. And that’s what’s so amazing about this event: every woman here today is working to break down those barriers and change the narrative and support each other and I’m so inspired by all the incredible women in this room. And I want to thank you all for your support. I am supporting all of you,” she added while honoring fellow women in the music industry.

  “And I want to say to all the young girls out there who are writing songs every day in their journals on their bedroom floors, I’m constantly moved by your vulnerability and your creativity and bravery and I promise everyone here today is working to make this world and this industry a better place for you,” Rodrigo concluded.
