Taylor Swift has picked up yet another award--
Take a look at why they chose Taylor- and see if you don't agree that she's number one!
"Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music that has transcended genres, and we're thrilled to recognize all of her successes over the past year by honoring her with the Billboard Woman of the Year Award," says Bill Werde, Billboard's Editorial Director
What it must be like to garner all these awards at such a young age.

At the young age of 21, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an incredible role model for aspiring singers/songwriters and young women everywhere. I look forward to watching her career continue to flourish in the years to come."
You can't say that she's not an inspiration... that's for sure!
