Taylor Swift may not be a big nominee for 2012 Grammy Nomination, but she makes big hit when scoring Billboard Woman Of The Year2011 by the music mag. The youngest female ever to receive the honor has made dramatic entrance at the Billboard's sixth annual Women in Music event held at a swank downtown restaurant on 2 December 2011 in New York City.
The 22-year-old musician Taylor Swift looks red hot on an Oscar de la Renta dress at Billboard’s Sixth Annual Women in Music Awards held at Capitale on Friday, 2 December. The songstress teams the dress with Prada shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Especially, while the country star is often seen with long, curly hair, she makes a new look with brand new bangs, straight layers and a stick straight style. Swift — who turns 22 on 13 December – said when accepting the award, “I get to wear this beautiful dress and go to this wonderful event. It's an amazing way to end what's really been an incredible year”.

In the interview with Katie Couric after the show, Taylor says that Shania Twain, Faith Hill and the Dixie Chicks were her favorites during “formative years of me daydreaming in my bedroom”. She states, “For me, when Faith Hill performed on an awards show, everything mattered - everything she said, did, wore, I tried to copy it”. Besides, she is also a huge fan of Minaj, saying “She's one of my favorite artists to come along in the past couple of years, and Super Bass is my favorite song of the year”
