With previous stints anchoring the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and other industry events over the last few years, it’s been proven more than once that nobody hosts a party like ‘Body Party’ beauty Ciara!
That’s why the GRAMMY winner, who kicked off the year announcing she was hard at work on her own new music, has been tapped to host the 2022 Billboard Women in Music Awards.
The live ceremony, to be held at Hollywood Park’s YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles in March, will continue Billboard’s tradition of celebrating and honoring female music business legends, female rising artists, and a number of female mover and shakers in front of and behind the scenes.
Look inside to see the big names who will be taking home the show’s coveted trophies this year.
2022 Billboard Women in Music Award Recipients
- Bonnie Raitt (Icon Award)
- Doja Cat (Powerhouse Award)
- Phoebe Bridgers (Trailblazer Award)
- Saweetie (Game Changer Award)
- Summer Walker (Chartbreaker Award)
- Karol G (Rule Breaker Award)

Set for March 2, the event – which is open to the public with tickets going on sale next month – returns after holding its 2020 edition virtually and canceling its 2021 iteration all together due to the global health crisis.
As of time reported, the show’s most coveted award, Woman of the Year, has not been announced. Expect that news, alongside reveals of additional celebrity presenters and performers, to arrive in the coming weeks.
Ciara, always to host but never to perform because nobody buys her music!
Cici still getting coins while others are sweating like horny dogs on stage. So what’s good?
They keep trying to make these two a thing. Doja and Saweetie are NOT it.
Doja is a thang! Hater! Planet her debut #1 and achieved two top 10 hits, one top 20 hit. Normani will never!
Planet Her debut a #2 darling.
