Taylor Swift Named 'Billboard' Woman of the Year For Second Time

Taylor Swift has been named the 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year, making her the only artist to receive the honor twice. The award honors a female artist who “has shaped and inspired the music industry with her success, leadership and innovation over the past 12 months.”
Swift was also named Billboard‘s Woman of the Year in 2011.
“As one of the most influential artists of her generation, Taylor Swift has seen incredible success on the Billboard charts,” said Janice Min, co-president and chief creative officer of Guggenheim Media’s Entertainment Group. “Over the course of her career, she’s charted 60 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 — the most of any female artist since her debut in 2006. We are tremendously excited to be honoring her as the 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year for the second time.”
