Gilbert Flores The “Golden” age of women in music was celebrated Wednesday night at the Hollywood Palladium, as Billboard hosted and livestreamed its annual Billboard Women in Music event, with a heavy-hitting list of honorees from multiple genres performing as well as picking up trophies — including Women of the Year honorees Audrey Nuna, Ejae and Rei Am, of “Kpop Demon Hunters” fame.
Ella Langley, who seems very much the woman of the moment in popular music generally as well as country music specifically, was on hand to do an acoustic performance of “Choosin’ Texas” before receiving her hardware from presenter Lainey Wilson. Multi-hyphenate Teyana Taylor was saluted by presenter Dionne Warwick as “my alter ego” and “my baby” following the Oscar favorite’s acoustic rendering of “Bed of Roses.” Previous honoree Brandi Carlile took up presenting duties for Laufey, who sang a solo electric-guitar version of “Silver Lining.”
