The Billboard’s 2022 list of phenomenal Women in Music list has arrived, and we couldn’t seem to ask for anything more.

The star-studded list of honorees for Billboard’s 2022 Women in Music Awards has arrived. All of our favorite women in music are ready to set the stage and perform at the annual event, assigned to take place in March in Los Angeles, California. Our dynamic musical artists and powerhouses include Doja Cat, Phoebe Bridgers, Saweetie, Gabby Barrett, Bonnie Raitt, Karol G, and Summer Walker.

Each performer will also be recognized and receive an award. Our favorite Kiss Me More singer and talented delight, Doja Cat, will take home the ‘Powerhouse Award,’ Bridgers the ‘Trailblazer Award,’ Saweetie the ‘Game Changer Award,’ Barrett the ‘Rising Star Award,’ Raitt, the ‘Icon Award,’ Karol G the ‘Rule Breaker Award’ and Walker, the ‘Chartbreaker Award.’

Billboard also announced to fans that this year’s show would be hosted by none other than Ciara. The annual event recognizes and sheds light on Women in Music and their impacts on the music industry and communities. Additionally, for the first time, fans will be able to buy tickets to attend in-person at the Youtube Theater, which goes on sale to the public in February.

According to People, “Billboard’s Women in Music is an annual opportunity for us to create undeniably influential women from across the industry,” Billboard President Julian Holguin said in a statement. “From Doja Cat to Karol G, Saweetie, and Bonnie Raitt, we couldn’t be more thrilled to honor this diverse group of women pushing limits and breaking down boundaries with a show-stopping live event, and for the first time, invite fans to join in on the celebration in-person.”

Billboard’s editorial director Hannah Karp also weighed in on the event by stating, “We are once again thrilled to recognize a diverse group of incredibly powerful women driving the music business and shaping pop culture. From legendary acts to those just beginning to make a name for themselves, these are all women pushing the envelope and inspiring fans around the world with their musicality, determination, attitude, and style. We are thrilled to bring these influencers together for a night of incredible performances and inspiring conversation about the future of music.”

As we prepare to be captivated by performances and the hard work of these various Women in Music, it’s safe to say that we will be marking our calendars for this year’s event, which will take place March 2 at the Youtube Theater at LA’s Hollywood Park.

In the words of Saweetie, we know that’s right.
