Taylor Swift will be honored this year at the annual Billboard Women in Music event hosted in New York. Billboard apparently knows on which side its toast is buttered. Swift has been a juggernaut this year raking in figures unheard of in today's recording industry signifying that cross-over country stars may be the last great hope for high unit sales. Swift is also one of the highest-grossing touring artists around making her a double threat and to top it all off she's only 21! She may win a few more of these things in the future.
