Ariana Grande Named the 2018 Woman of the Year By Billboard

Ariana Grande has had a lot of good and bad in these last couple of years, but she is about to have a good moment to round out the end of 2018.

The talented artist and activist is receiving Billboard’s 2018 Woman of the Year award on Dec. 6 at the 13th annual Women in Music dinner. Past winners include Beyonce, Ciara, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and more.

“Ariana Grande is a star on her own terms, never bending to any particular musical trend or path in the industry,” says Ross Scarano, Billboard’s vp of content. “Certain in her convictions, she consistently stands up for herself and her decisions in a world that often isn’t hospitable to that sort of strength in young women. She’s got guts, she’s making some of the best music of her career, and she’s absolutely deserving of Woman of the Year.”

The Women in Music event and red-carpet pre-show will broadcast live on Dec. 6 via Twitter from 7:00 to 10 p.m. ET. Sponsors include American Airlines, Honda Stage and Nielsen Music.
