\n\tBillboard unveiled a slate of presenters and additional honorees for its 2026 Women in Music<\/a> event on Monday (April 27), broadening the scope of the annual ceremony with a mix of established artists, global acts and industry figures set to take part.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe presenters announced are Bella Poarch, Brandi Carlile, Cara Delevingne, Ciara, Coco Jones, Dionne Warwick, Eva Longoria, Victoria Mon\u00e9t, Kim Petras, Lainey Wilson and Tyla.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe event, set for April 29 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, will stream live on Billboard.com and the Billboard YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to the presenter lineup, Billboard revealed the new Global Force honorees, with BINI receiving the Billboard Philippines Global Force Award and The Beaches set to be recognized as Billboard Canada\u2019s Global Force, presented by FACTOR.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement builds on a previously revealed list of award recipients, highlighting a wide cross-section of artists and executives across genres and markets. Among the key honors, KPop Demon Hunters<\/a>\u2018 HUNTR\/X (EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI) will receive Women of the Year, while Elizabeth Matthews has been named Executive of the Year.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther honorees include Kehlani<\/a> (Impact Award), Laufey<\/a> (Innovator Award), Mariah the Scientist<\/a> (Rising Star Award), Tate McRae<\/a> (Hitmaker Award), Teyana Taylor<\/a> (Visionary Award), Thal\u00eda<\/a> (Icon Award) and Zara Larsson<\/a> (Breakthrough Award).<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the digital side, Billboard is expanding audience engagement around the event. Creator Drew Afualo and Billboard executive editor Lyndsey Havens will cohost the red carpet livestream, with Afualo inviting fans to submit questions via social media for use during the broadcast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Global Force additions further emphasize Billboard\u2019s international strategy, spotlighting artists who have built audiences beyond their home markets. The inclusion of BINI and The Beaches reflects the increasing role of regional scenes in shaping global pop consumption, particularly as streaming continues to blur geographic boundaries.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow in its latest iteration, Women in Music remains one of Billboard\u2019s flagship events, bringing together artists, executives and creators to recognize achievement across the industry while also serving as a platform for performance, collaboration and cross-market visibility.<\/p>\n
