Billboard Women in Music 2025 was full of love and sisterhood. If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry: We’re here to catch you up on everything you missed at this year’s show. From Drew Afualo reading Muni Long’s birth chart to aespa snapping pics on a Polaroid to Ángela Aguilar’s passionate performance of “Cielito Lindo,” keep watching for exclusive BTS moments and updates from the big night!
Rania Aniftos:
I had so much fun interviewing honorees, presenters and guests with my fellow correspondent, Jazzy. By the way, some of our talent were more starstruck by Jazzy than anyone else. Benedict Polizzi gave our ladies some polite catcalls that made them giggle as they walked in to claim their awards. The room was filled with sisterly love as the women honored each other for their impressive achievements in music, to which only they can relate. Tina Knowles honored her daughters in her speech. Ángela Aguilar’s speech made us tear up as she honored immigrant women and called for their safety. Putting her money where her mouth is, she even had a local children’s choir from the Harmony Project performing with her. Ángela continued to honor under-resourced communities backstage. The party continued in our portrait studio with all the ladies catching up and taking flicks. We had our girl Drew Afualo giving flowers backstage as she interviewed our honorees. And of course, like the Virgo she is, Drew read Billboard Birth Charts. We asked talent to give a love letter to the women of the world and sign it. Making sure to take polaroids of everyone who stepped into our interview lounge for our Billboard polaroid collection. Gracie Abrams thanked Taylor Swift as she accepted Songwriter of the Year before she performed “I Love You, I’m Sorry.” Summer Walker presented the Icon Erykah Badu with her award, and her outfit left us speechless. Billboard’s Group of the Year aespa visited our backstage lounge minutes before heading onstage for the final performance of the night. Back behind the scenes, the night ended on a high note with our Woman of the Year Doechii giving Erykah Badu her flowers. Doechii also made sure to give the women on her team their flowers too. Another memorable Billboard Women in Music for the books!
