All the reasons people are saying she doesn’t deserve this award are the very reasons she does. This award isn’t based on sales or chart placement it’s honoring “women in the music industry who have made significant contributions to the business and who, through their work and continued success, inspire generations of women to take on increasing responsibilities within the field”. The way her and her team have navigated her brand this past year has been a master class in dealing with hardships with grace in an industry that profits off of headlines and scandal. I say congrats.
