Previous recipients of the award were Madonna, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga.
Billboard’s vice president of content Ross Scarano says Grande in a statement said:
“Certain in her convictions,
consistently stands up for herself and her decisions in a world that often isn’t hospitable to that sort of strength in young women.”
He also said she definitely deserves “Women of the Year”. She has got guts and is making best music of her career.
“No Tears Left To Cry,”
She had Top 40 hits in the past year including “No Tears Left To Cry,” ″Breathin’” and “God Is A Woman.”
Last year she also helped organize the One Love Manchester concert and raised more than USD23 million for victims of the Manchester bombing.
In 2014 she also received Billboard’s Rising Star award following the release of her second album: My Everything.
