11 Best Moments From 2026 Billboard Women in Music

From our Women of the Year — HUNTR/X's EJAE, AUDREY NUNA & REI AMI — and beyond, these were our favorite moments.

In a night all about women supporting women, Zara Larsson took the Billboard Women in Music mission statement literally on Wednesday night (April 29) at the Hollywood Palladium, with the Swedish pop star being held aloft by her four backup dancers as she flawlessly performed her Grammy-nominated song “Midnight Sun.”

And that was just one of many iconic moments in a night full of them. Larsson was honored with the Breakthrough award, for taking over the charts in a major way after 10 years in the business, while the singing voices of HUNTR/X — EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI — were celebrated for their “Golden”-powered KPop Demon Hunters success as our Women of the Year.
