“I’m very honoured”: Charli XCX to be recognised at the Billboard Women in Music Awards
Congratulations are in order for pop superstar Charli XCX. Since making her debut in 2012, the ‘Hot in It’ singer has made massive waves in the music industry with her innovative music, impressive songwriting abilities and chart-topping singles.
In addition to her stacked musical feats, Charli has also expanded her talent to the film industry – co-composing the hit LGBTQIA+ teen comedy Bottoms and the upcoming film Mother Mary.
Due to her continued influence in the music industry, Billboard announced that they would be honouring Charli with the Powerhouse Award at this year’s Billboard Women in Music Awards.
Other honourees include LGBTQIA+ icon Kylie Minogue, Maren Morris, Victoria Monét and Ice Spice. “We could not be more excited to celebrate these inspiring and dynamic artists from around the world as they move our culture forward and inspire women everywhere to push boundaries and pursue their own dreams,” Billboard’s editorial director Hannah Karp said in a statement on 24 January.
