At the 2024 Billboard Women In Music Awards, the biggest baddies in the music game, like Victoria Monét, Tems, GloRilla, and Coco Jones, gathered to celebrate each other.
On March 6, Billboard recognized rising stars, music executives and producers for shaping the music industry, according to a statement from the publication. Award-winning actress Tracee Ellis Ross was the host with the most for the event, which took place at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park. The night featured epic performances and heartfelt speeches from talented titans across genres.
Smoking hot hit-maker Tems almost stole the show before it even started, making the crowd go wild on the red carpet. When she bent over to show off her killer curves in the now-viral video, a man couldn’t help but lose his composure. He seemingly time-traveled back at least a few decades, yelling “Holy smokes!” over the clamoring and camera clicks.
After setting the red carpet ablaze, Tems moved the audience with her performance of “Not An Angel.” Whew, Tems may not be an angel, but “goddess” sounds about right.
Then Savannah James presented the Nigerian supernova with the Breakthrough Award.
Sophia Vegara presented Karol G with the Billboard Woman of the Year Award, making the Colombian star the first Latina to receive the honor. In addition to performing “Amargura” with her all-female band, she dedicated her award to all the unrecognized women who came before her and will come after her.
Victoria Monét continued her manifestation momentum with a performance of her hit song “On My Mama.”
The Grammy winner received the well-deserved Rising Star Award presented by Honda. Mommy Monét surprised the star as she accepted the award from JoJo.
