Latin songstress Karol G has been named Billboard's 2024 Woman of the Year. The music magazine has said the honor to Karol comes "after a year of career-defining moments, including a history-making album, a momentous stadium tour, headlining Lollapalooza and her first Grammy win."
The Colombian hitmaker will be honored with the 2024 Woman of the Year Award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards presented by Marriott Bonvoy on Wednesday, March 6, at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. It will be streamed to the public on March 7.

Karol G is currently a leading force in Latin music. Two years after releasing her breakthrough album KG0516 in 2021, Karol became the first female artist to top the Billboard 200 chart with a Spanish-language album (Mañana Será Bonito). The follow-up, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), then debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. On Sunday, she won her first Grammy, taking home Best Música Urbana album for Mañana Será Bonito. Last summer, Karol launched her own Bichota Records and inked a distribution deal with Interscope. Additionally, The Con Cora Foundation was established to continue the artist’s social work and mission to support women who lead households, at-risk youth, children facing chronic or disabling diseases, those dealing with teenage pregnancy, women deprived of liberty and post-penalty, and low-income women.
With her award, Karol G is also set to give a special performance at the event. She joins the previously announced lineup of powerhouse women set for the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards: Kylie Minogue will receive the Icon Award, Maren Morris will receive the Visionary Award, Ice Spice will receive the Hitmaker Award, Charli XCX will receive the Powerhouse Award, Young Miko will receive the Impact Award presented by American Express, Victoria Monét will receive the Rising Star award presented by Honda, NewJeans will receive the Group of the Year Award, TEMS will receive the Breakthrough Award, and Luísa Sonza will receive one of Billboard’s new Global Force Awards.
