Taylor Swift Receives 'Billboard' Woman of the Decade Award.
The pop star became
the first recipient of
the award on Thursday.
Swift used her speech to detail her
experience as a woman in the music
industry along with her current battle
for the rights to her music catalog.
Swift and Scooter Braun, who now owns
the rights to her music, have been in
a public dispute for months.
And let me just say that the definition of the toxic male privilege in our industry is people saying, 'But he's always been nice to me,' when I'm raising valid concerns about artists and their rights to own their music. And, of course, he's nice to you. If you're in this room, you have something he needs. , Taylor Swift, via 'Billboard' Women In Music.
Swift also shouted out fellow
female artists including, Lana Del Rey,
Lizzo, Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion
