The 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards will spotlight some of the most influential female voices in today’s music scene. Set for March 29 at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, the event will honor artists whose groundbreaking contributions are reshaping the industry. Among the honorees, Jennie of BLACKPINK will receive the Global Force Award, while rising K-pop powerhouse Aespa is recognized as Group of the Year.
Since its inception in 2007, the Billboard Women in Music Awards has celebrated trailblazing women who drive innovation and inspire change across the musical landscape. This year’s ceremony will feature live performances and tributes that underscore the cultural and artistic impact of its recipients. Jennie, whose recent singles “Mantra” and “Love Hangover” have made notable marks on the Billboard charts, is also gearing up to release her debut solo album, Ruby, further cementing her status as a global icon. Her achievements in both music and acting make her a fitting choice for the prestigious Global Force Award.
Aespa, formed in 2020, has rapidly ascended to become a major force in the K-pop arena. With the international success of their debut full-length album, Armageddon, and an ongoing world tour, the group’s selection as Group of the Year reflects their impressive global influence and dynamic presence in the music industry.
In addition to Jennie and Aespa, the awards will honor a diverse array of talent, including Erykah Badu, GloRilla, Gracie Abrams, Meghan Trainor, Muni Long, and Tyla. Tickets for the event, which went on sale on February 12 with prices starting at $89, promise an unforgettable evening that celebrates the achievements of women who are defining the future of music.
